RE: F27 Stryker Part 9: Crazy DARK SIDE - Beginners to Dark Extremes

You have enough experience, no problems. The Stryker is easy and forgiving to fly as long as you do not start with a 200 mph 5lb brick.
If you can master the P-51 you should have no problems....

RE: F27 Stryker Part 9: Crazy DARK SIDE - Beginners to Dark Extremes

For a true stock class we should also be restricted to stock motor and battery ;)
I really do not see the point in creating a stock class.
As long as it is based on a Stryker body and looks like...

RE: F27 Stryker Part 9: Crazy DARK SIDE - Beginners to Dark Extremes

Hei til deg i Østfold også, har sett mange av videoene dine. Mye bra flyving :-)

I will likely try my 6S 1500W Stryker on the bungee today, we have -1 centigrade and calm weather here on the...

RE: F27 Stryker Part 9: Crazy DARK SIDE - Beginners to Dark Extremes

Broke in the new bungee yesterday :D
It worked really well: http://vimeo.com/19188202

I did not put the Stryker on in yet, it felt safer to make the initial tests with my EDF SkyFun Jet. The...

RE: F27 Stryker Part 9: Crazy DARK SIDE - Beginners to Dark Extremes

Thanks for the info Murdnunoc,
Sounds like I have about the same angle as you do. My rails are shorter at only 1 meter each, hope it is enough [X(]
Good advice on the static line between bungee...

RE: F27 Stryker Part 9: Crazy DARK SIDE - Beginners to Dark Extremes

Speaking of catapults, I built my first catapult launcher yesterday but have not tried it yet :D

Some questions for you pro's:
How steep should the rails be angled?
How much pull do you need...

RE: F27 Stryker Part 9: Crazy DARK SIDE - Beginners to Dark Extremes

Also on a Spektrum system it is safe to power the RX before powering the TX. However this requires that the throttle is in the zero position when you bind the TX to the RX.

So this is a safe...

RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness

Gabe,
Here is a theory: The bird was too tail heavy as you have stated, this combined with quite a bit of throw makes it twitchy. Then when you cut the throttle it probably stalled before diving....

Gabe,
It is a bit strange that it did not respond to your up-elevator commands at all. Is it possible that you have swapped the two servo leads? This would make ailerons work correctly while...

RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness

Gabe,
Sorry about your plane. From the pic it seems you have a lot of throw on your elevons (long servo arms and connected close to elevons). Better have less throw and dial in some expo.

RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness

WOW! What a first post John :-)
You did the right thing by choosing the Stryker for your first non-dihedral plane. It is a very versatile plane, it is rock solid and it is very stable even at low...

RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness

Flisms,
I think you will have a very hard time making a successful front motor Stryker. A delta wing plane is meant to be a pusher. Most (maybe all) planes with the motor in the front have their...

Gary,
Thanks for your detailed response. I'm using this motor: Turnigy 3648. The stated diameter is 37 mm but I have not actually measured it. It looks like your 36 mm mount with slotted holes...

RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness

Cool motor mount, very nice feature with a separate motor adapter. May a suggest an adapter for a 36 mm outrunner :D
I could really use one.

Just started repairing my 6S 36 mm outrunner...

Welcome to the forums! I looked through the Styker photos on your blog. They all looked awsome :)Nice paint jobs.

RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness

DMehalko(DM),
Your quickest way to get more speed is to move from 3S to 4S. Higher voltage is always better as less current will be required to generate the same amount of power.

RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness

Gryphon,
Thanks for your advice, will definitely try smaller props. I want to get the Amp draw down to around 60 - 70 as my ESC is only 60A. I know I should have a higher rated ESC, but I like...

RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness

It could be that the two pairs of holes on the stock motor has different spacing and that rotating the motor a 1/4 turn would have made holes line up. But your solution is fine too ;)

90 amps was static readings using my Eagle Tree, the battery can take 50C for about 15 seconds. Anyways I would never fly it at full throttle for that long.

RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness

Maidened my new build today. 36 mm 1450 kv outrunner with 6S 40S 1850 mAh packs. APC 7x5 prop, drawing about 90 amps at 20 volts = 1800 Watts [X(]
All up weight was 950 grams. I used 325 mm carbon...

RE: Official F27 Stryker Part 8: Beginners to Custom Darkness

I expect it to draw quite a bit of juice, but since I will be using a rather large prop (likely 7 in) it should be producing a lot more torque even at lower speeds compared to a smaller inrunner. So...
