Very soon I am going to install a 190 and cortex gyro into my J-10, I'm going to read the thread but in the meantime any tips on GG, rates, gyro settings I should be mindful off?

FWIW; iGyro3: Heading = 24% / Heading Hold = 100% used only during 3D maneuvering (important to understand this setting must only be used during constant roll / yaw / pitch maneuvering at low velocity).

Cortex Pro not the iGyro3 ;) that’s already in the manual.......

Yes I did......I understand you think heading hold is a must.... :)

Getting ready to fly it this week, it will be interesting to see how it handles a 190 and if I have able to get some very high alpha's towards the last 1-2 mins of flight time. I don't intend to have it for a long time since its not my cup of tea so to speak but its always great to fly different jets than I am used to from the scale and sport jets. If I like it I will install either a ACEx 220 or KT 260 to test out the turbine before it goes into a Airworld Gripen.
Attachment 2269194 The setup I have is the following.... Altecare Behotec electric retract set MKS servos and arms - 3 HBL599 (Vectoring & Canard) -3 HB777+ (Rudder & Elevons) Jet Tech kevlar tanks Oversized main tank Smoke tank PowerBox Jet Smoke pump Intairco ITrap UAT Cortex Pro Gyro ACEx 190 Turbine AR12120 RX |
Lots of nice equipment going into this. Word on the street from what I’m hearing with this jet is keep them light and lots of power. KT210 ok but not great. JB220 awesome (230N).....One fellow put a JC Mamoth, larger fuel tank, and had to add nose ballast....got pretty beefy and didn’t fly as well.
I’ve got bitten by the J-10 bug myself..... |
Good luck...hope all goes well.
These airframes - hand's-down - fly beautifully in both traditional and particularly 3D flight maneuvering... |
I love my J10. The other day I got to the field and it was pretty foggy. Luckily I had my J10 and could fly everything super tight and low with loads of high alpha. I'm running a Behotec 220, nice simple set up and have loads of flights on it now. I see people with these try and land them more like non delta aircraft, come in flat and try and flare which normally results in coming in pretty fast and using a lot of runway. If you get it transitioning in to high alpha with the nose up through base / base to final turn you can then manage the sink with power and land it incredibly slowly.

Well I’m pretty much done, minus gluing the battery’s tray and canopy (after painting) I put it on the scale all assemble and I’m about 12kg with the uat simulated full...(lead) pretty happy with that....so I took it apart and will start getting the parts ready for paint...with no joint lines anywhere....so that will take a while LOL 😂

Screwdrivers
I use these on my J-10, the 5mm for the wings and the 3mm for the vertical fin.

Thanks I've ordered... I'll use what I have for tomorrow's maiden and use the Bondus set when it arrives this weekend.
|
Yep I’m using a 5mm Ball link driver for mine from bondhus...and 3mm for the fin......

Thank you Bob....
Just remember I am not a 3D guy .... sometimes you see videos and it looks easy, for this jet it was a non event on 1st flights and I love the take off and landings. We tried a few hovers and it barely held alt, spins on a dime, but just remember I am at 5500ft elev and I only have a 190 installed but for me it did quite well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3ze...ature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FT5...ature=youtu.be |

Great maiden and nice landing....

Very Very Nice !!!🤘🏻

Very nice Danny, I saw you and the owner fly a few times on Friday.
Yesterday I just had installed a new 240 into the J10 https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...e6758fe0f6.jpg |
Thank you Danny .. Another awesome build.. Enjoyed flying it at Florida Jets.. we will fly it more at the upcoming events
