RE: 52" Marston Pterodactyl

RE: 52" Marston Pterodactyl

WELL! It would appear that no one has actually built one of these things so I guess that says it all! Sorry Marston, I won't be buying one!

I tried to do aileron/flap as an experiment with my Gemini bipe and DX6 equipment, using Rx channels 1 and 6 as the manual said, but could not get it to work:( I even went back to Spektrum and didn't...

I've also just got into electric flight and am having a ball!
Can you get Multiplex out there? If so, have a serious lok at this little beauty - the Gemini. It can fly real slow for getting used to...

I know what you mean. I "total'd" my Gemini yesterday with a vertical crash. Not sure why. I think my thumb slipped off the stick because of the cold. Both wings broke in half and the fusalage...

RE: Blue bird micro servo gear replacement

Hi Expo. Glad they helped. The arrow was just pointing to the gear I stripped, and seems to be the most common one to go, and was asking Blue Bird to send me replacement. As it happens a complete set...

RE: Blue bird micro servo gear replacement

Funny - I just answered this question on another forum. Mine are the 306BB servos so I guess yours may well be as well. They "split" around the body, just under the fixing lugs. Firstly, remove the...

RE: How do I get a Bluebird 303 servo apart?

I guess they are the same as the 306's. The casing splits around the body just under the fixing lugs.
Remove the labels from each side. Use a knife blade, or similar. Push it carefully into the...

RE: Help buying a small foamie

Can you get Multiplex (German) models out there? Have a look at this one, called the Gemini. It's a cracker, flys really well slowly, or does all the bizz at full throtle! I just LOVE it!

RE: Wet ReceiverMy

Flying sea/water planes, always carry a can of WD40 (or similar water displacer/insulator) with you. If any of the electronics gets wet, spray it on immediately, dab it off with a dry tissue, and...

RE: Signal voltage

"Signal" ? Do you mean the required RF signal strength to enable the receiver to lock on?

RE: Help needed with radio unit on my new airplane.

NO! You have NO CONTROL over the frequency, other than by changing the crystal. That is what the crystal does. It "locks" your Tx and Rx to the frequency stated on the crystal.

The reason for...

Glad your Father can help you out. However, make sure he can supply a "compatible" crystal. A lot of equipment manufacturers make their crystal unique to their equipment and you HAVE to use their...

RE: Help needed with radio unit on my new airplane.

OK Yuval. Your 72Mhz "band" is divided up into 50 different "channels", each controlled by a "crystal" in your equipment.

RE: Help needed with radio unit on my new airplane.

Hi Yuval.
OK, we don't use 72Mhz here in England, always 35Mhz, but the equipment is basically the same.
Very basic I know but first you must have both Tx and Rx on the same frequency as I am...

RE: Help needed with radio unit on my new airplane.

You say "both of the receivers". Have you got two receivers in the plane???
It sounds as though you are mixing channels. Tx on one frequency, and Rx on another?
Are your new receivers compatible...
