RE: Hobbico TorqMaster 180

RE: OS HZ91-PS Pumped OS HZ91

I didn't know it was discontinued. Maybe it wasn't selling well.

Timer 1 has to have a condition, switch, or stick assigned to it to start. Read the manual carefully and remove the action that causes it to start.

RE: How Critical is the Rx antenna length?

Formula for determining the resonant length of the antenna is: meters = 3 X 10 to the 8th power divided by the frequency. You can divide that by 2 for half wave, 4 for quarter wave, etc.

RE: Resolution

I don't think radio resolution has anything to do with servo resolution. I think is the rate of speed that information, (modulation - stick inputs) are transmitted in a given period of time. The 2048...

RE: Hyper 50 leaning out after in air a few min.

Most usually, when an engine runs too lean no matter the needle setting, it's drawing excessive air. This is especially true when it starts and idles OK and goes lean on throttle up. You can adjust a...

RE: thunder tiger alpha zero gov

You may have the engine too rich on the high needle. You may have a gain setting, the Multigov does. If you set the gain too high it will work to fast and the search for accuracy will make it do that.

RE: Do I have to use governor?

RE: Raptor 50 3D Damage Repair - Help Please

Also, you never put trim in the rudder, (tail rotor), the gyro takes care of it. If you put trim in the rudder, it will chase the trim.

RE: BLADE TRACKING

The dampers are undamaged and very stiff in the Titan SE. Maybe i'll just replace everything involved with the head except the metal head itself, it shows no distortion.
