RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon
Thanks guys for the kind remarks! Much appreciated!
A couple of replys to your comments......
The hs 55 in the rear of the cockpit is actually the switch for the glow driver. It is shared on the throttle channel. It comes on with my kill switch and cuts out at about 1/3 throttle. I have a light visible in the front window so i know when its lit......... translation, safe. The switch is on a screw (which is visible if you look close) so I can adjust the contact point.
All my lighting switches and servo are in the top of the cockpit behind the skylite. I will snap a pic of that for clarity.
The power expander is a smartfly sport. I just though it was good insurance and ALOT easier to keep track of connections. Plus it opens up each channel for 3 servos. Alot better Idea than using a bunch of Y's. Plus the serovs see the full rx pack voltage. And you're not trying to stuff all that thru the reciever.
The ailerons are one bay bigger, and I extended the rudder about 1.25 inches. I also cut the rudder clearance in the elevator halves about 10 degrees wider.
My dream with this model is a kick butt flat spin w smoke on at our club airshow in June.... Thats why all the throws were increased and surfaces enlarged. I want a good aerbatic model that looks fairly scale. Man Im really getting the itch to fly her now.
But thats still a few weeks out!!!!
Happy building!
