I should change ports on controller(switch brake connector positions) to see if brakes themself are the cause or maybe it starts from DC brake signal itself if power is not same...
or if we were closer, we switch 1 wheel each, between 2 models so in the end both brake same,
but since we are so far I have to get secong AG63 in my hangar LOL

Today while shopping for Easter groceries, found cheap (thin plastic) 4$ toolbox next to car/tool stuff...
Planned to put pump and charger inside not to carry them in nylon bags, but somehow I went overboard

I'm starting on my own FW Avanti S X45 conversion and have a few questions after researching...
1) Does anyone know if Paul A. is still making the pipe/tank for this? His last post on the subject was more than a year ago, and I haven't had an email response in several days. I know others aren't online as much...so it's probably just my lack of patience.
2) ...if not, is this a good alternative pipe? https://www.grumania.com/xtcommerce/...45G3::833.html
3)Has everyone that has done this conversion removed the stock servo/connection hub? It looks a little suspect to me.
Thank you!

Hi,
I've routed the servo wires around the blue box on a couple Avanti's. Then you can have aileron differential and crow. However, my latest build I didn't bother and its working okay.
I use the HAB kit with great success. It makes mounting the pipe and turbine so easy. Paul's pipe and Grumania pipes weigh 2x as much, but work well.

Edit: I think I found it on hab.se. IMO it's worth the weight to have a double wall pipe....plus it doesn't look like they ship to US.

I would like to try on my Avanti too, but never try the aerobatic stuffs
I'm a fixed wing (3D) flyer, in turbine, when you do those loops and aerobatics, did you put the throttle stick to low?
