I will say this, the Lgc 22 was designed for use with the JP gear. The preset retract values are perfect.
The brakes come setup with the pulsing mode active to prevent flat spots on the tires.
That being said you won’t find a better controller than the LGC 15!

I have one of the Xicoy controllers (LGC-12 or -13) in my JP equipped Rebel Hot. It occasionally decides I don't need brakes. I've learned when that happens I need to do a hard restart. I got in the habit of testing the brakes before each flight.

I'm using the Assan AG63 in other air planes with good success. The red box JP controller is bad either.

Thanks for the replies, I've decided to go with the LGC-15.

On a side note, the JP gear for the hot can fit a 55mm tire on the front wheel. I bought a JP 55mm tire on aliexpress, to help raise the front a bit. I'll use it together with some 5mm spacers between the retract and mounting frame. It will also give a smidge less rolling resistance when flying from a grass field.

Ya, my stock JP brake controller is doing Dukes of Hazard slides, i'm getting sick of it.

Did you check the wheels? I had an airplane with a Xicoy brake controller that kept doing a right hook when I applied the brakes. So, I put an AG63 gyro in it. The problem was not fixed. SO, I looked at the wheels and found the left axle slipped out a tiny amount and that made the brake weak on that side. Yup, I should have checked the easy stuff 1st.

The one thing that helped me with the same issue is to take the disk and micro polish to as best as you can. I also added some very light oil to the disk. If you compare a disk from Electron to JP you will understand the micro polish idea, Electron disks a baby butt smooth.

I started using the Assan AG68 retract controller with gyro brakes and steering. I actually like it better than the LGC15 and it's half the price.

Any recommendation on lights for the Rebel HOT? There are so many options out there now with regards to size and output :-) Seems like a daunting prospect to pick out what will work...Thx in advance for any recommendations!

Hello

Im building my rebel hot, and today i found a problem that will like to know how others solved.

In the flaps the pin of the providers Kwik-link are smaller than the holes on the horns so i have a nasty clearance that i want to remove. How others deal with that ones, for the rest i will use ball links but for flaps as holes are done i need something that goes inline with servo arm.

Only solution i imagine is to buy some kwilinks with 2mm pin like this ones https://mpjet.com/shop/gb/metal-clev...hread-al_right

Any other solution? or other 2mm pin kwilink source



Thanks

‘I have used the MPJet and they are very nice, if your in the state Esprit model have them as well…..

‘’the other option would be to block the hole with Hysol and red rill the correct size….a little more work but not that hard to do….

natxo

Thanks, im in europe, not problem to buy those, did you remember if use the model i linked? 2mm pin seem enough

Looks like those mpjet is the easiest option, is not a comfortable position to redrill.... at least for me.

I think i will need to make the hole that is in the "back spar" just a bit bigger as this kwilink seems wider than the stock ones, at least on photos

Since your in Europe, just check the size of the pre-made holes with a metric drill bit….that will tell you what will fit….

almost everyone has had to open up the linkage hole and make it bigger for the flap pushrod.

natxo

Ups.... yes, will check with a drill bit, didn't know what i was thinking on..

Ok, that was my main concern.

How much flap degree are you using?

markusvt

This is pretty close, flaps, take off: 23-25 mm, landing: 60-68 mm,(you can go more but this works really well). 3-4mm of down elevator with full flaps. I had 1 hole too big from the factory, I put in a small slice of hollow carbon tube, filled it perfectly.

natxo

Finally buy those mpjet with 2mm pin, is a tight fit, no clearance. Need to make a bit of space as are more bulky that original ones but no problem.

Thanks, i will use that flap amount for base test

Has anyone seen the blue version in the air? Is it hard to see?

Dave Wilshere

No problem seeing it…

markusvt

Anyone fit a smoke system on one of these?

Dave Wilshere

Don’t..the wing loading is already higher than many models. It flies great as it is, adding another 1 1/2lb might be the tipping point
