I notice the Thrust Vector nozzle sits sticks out past the tail-cone.Mine is tucked away inside standard build. Is there some mod made to this one to have it extend past the tailcone. I have had to tame the TV nozzle down because it would burn the end of the tailcone.

Thanks Dave! Think this was my favourite shot from Yesterday.https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...20a0dc3a87.jpg

Explains that. Was considering that move. How much was taken off?
Tks for the reply

About 2"

tks will review trimming some off.

I am looking for help on best way to set up a demon cortex gyro in this airframe

Thanks

I will ask again. Anyone with experience using a cortex demon gyro in this J10?

I have been watching you tube footage of this model. Appears some pilots land with canards disengaged and others land with canards engaged (maybe lower rate). As I am programming mine now would like to get others experience with regards to canards and landing.

Thanks

Hello, Roy, I use Low rate Canards for normal flight and landing and High Rate Canard for 3D.

Andy, thanks that makes sense. Would you mind sharing your high and low rate canard throws and whether you measure them from leading or trailing edge of the canard

Thanks
Roy

Low rate canards 10 degrees up and down 3d Canards 40 degrees up and down, be careful on the high rates and really only used at low airspeeds.

Hi Folks,

Going through test flights / setup, trying to come up with heading / heading hold values. Although this is not a CARF version, it is exactly the same size. The iGyro 3e has heading (Range A) set to at present to 40% and experienced oscillations. Heading hold (Range B) is set to100% for 3D...

I'm curious what folks are setting theirs at for heading (Range A).

Many thanks.

p.s. Given the black paint job / honeycomb / Airex airframe I needed to make a cover. I ended up using an awesome / stretchy material that acts as a great sunshade. I made a few for friends and have one extra in the color your see, if anyone is interested;

No one uses a gyro on this airframe??

I need help for gyro settings in FM 2 and 3 what should be the gains,

Complete gyro settings for plane and vector. Carf j10. Powerbox mercury . FM2 and FM3

I am thinking about doing one of these. I have concerns on transportation. I can’t find any definitive answer if the vertical fin is easily removable?

thanks

It very easy, One 3mm cap bolt that is captured in the vertical fin and disconnect the servo cable and you are done. It takes a minute or two at the most.

perfect. Thank you
