Thanks. This plane is becoming my fave out of the AH. Take the wing slats off and its a jet, put them back and its lofty and acrobatic. I also replaced the Tx antena with one twice as long and the responce time went way up. It flew like a new plane.

Good looking bird Garrett. Deltas are a bit different to fly aren't they. Did you do the turn mod on your fury? It's getting to the time of year that I can fly until nearly 10p, so I may have to get mine squared away.

Ron, yes the motors in the cessna get weak over time. I think that's what's wrong with mine, I'm just not inspired to replace it right now. I use a quick disconnect on mine, but I don't know where to send you to get a tiny one like mine. I bought a bunch back in the hard core aa days from Tony.

The only thing i did to the controller was long antena and glued tube over the buttons. Is there a turn without throttle mud for this tx? i havent found one yet.

Garret the tube is what I was refering to.

Ron, a small drop of oil may help, try to find some with teflon in it, same as the aces. A new motor is about $10.

Did you ever install a new motor? Guess you have to split the body to do it. Just lube the front of motor?

Alright, im trying to make a plane from some stuff i got around the house. I had a walkera 22e heli that is junk now but the electronics are good. I need to know of a cheap rx and esc because this one has the servo mixing and i cant get 2 servos to work independently. I hope to use one of the motors from the heli, the main one is 380 i belive but im not sure what the tail rotor one is. Any advice would be helpful.

Ron, Yes you have to cut the tape and open the body, unless you can use a needle and put the drop on the shaft. But if you still have a slacker motor, you'll have to replace it. If you get that far let me know.

Ron, here's a link to the dev's thread. It's a decent little bird, pretty fast and if you do Lee's mods it is supposed to be a blast. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=716568

Garrett, check the thread linked to above. But I think I remember it being a 200mah. Also if you haven't had one there is a trick with the controller that switches it from novice to pro.

The trick is hold left(right gives intermediate mode.) while turning the tx on.
The lipo is a 130mah.
The firewing is a new airhogs plane with leds and a 49mhz tx..... it has a all or nothing throttle...... the motor is a single aa prop... it is small..... and has a horizontal protecting ring around the prop...look for elliptical wings and black or white (both with flames) color schemes.

I'm not familiar with the 22e but most helis have the CCPM in the transmitter. The Esky transmitters have a switch under the batteries to disable CCPM. Maybe Walkera has something similar.

Thanks Chris, i'll have to try that when i get home. Ive been at the inlaws all weekend.
Take some tubing, i run nitro trucks so i took fuel tube, cut 1/8 in pieces and glue them
over the buttons on the right stick. This will give you elevon control while turning. If you
find a turn without throttle mod please post it for me
