Well done BD.. looks like a great plane to bring to the field on those special days to show off.... I'm sure its a real crowd pleaser.... Thanks for sharing.. Will
Absolutely superb review bud I've been holding off doing the bypass as wanted a smooth transition between wing sweep and elevator ive been racking my brain how to do this my friend a short demo would be welcomed by many I'm sure 👍
Hey BD help me out I would be grateful if you can just tell me on your spektrum trans what do you have on flaps up set at mid flaps and down flaps at I dont want mm I know that I want to know what yours is on the trans set at. also on rates what are your high/mid/low set at on your transmitter all the numbers. back to the flaps what are your elevator settings for flaps up flaps mid flaps down I would like the actual numbers you set in the transmitter. I dont mm like you posted MM. If you can tell me that I would be gratefully thankful thanks again Joe.
@@BDTennessee yes tell me what you have and have you ever seen your rudder when its full over left or right and elevator full up they smash into each other?
BD, I'm setting up my plane but cannot get the elevator to slowly move with the wing sweep like you did. I'm using a Spektrum NX-8 radio and the same receiver that you have. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. It's almost ready to maiden and could fly with the wings out, which I will likely do the first few flights anyway. But really would like to have it programmed and ready for the sweep as well. I've been in contact with HH, but haven't had much luck yet.
Very good review and Thanks for your set up info, My question is for your 10mm up elevator on the wing sweep mix what percentage is on your NX10? I know it may be different for everybody however only by + or-2%. Thanks for this Video BD
Thanks BD, Mine will be close to the same. However I use a lighter 5300 SMC pack and have the RC Geek Afterburner kit in it so I had to move the battery most the way forward to get neutral CQ@@BDTennesseeI plan on buying the 6200 SMC packs at a later date when on sale if possible
I am now an expert at 6 months in this hobby. This jet will be the final piece in my fleet before going turbine F22. Is it really legal to have this much fun?
So mine has arrived and all is setup except CG and Flaps. I'm using the stock gyro setup. It seems that you are using the exact CG recommended in the instructions. Do I have that correct? On the Banana Hobby video, on the stock setup, they mention to not set the flaps to far down, as it will cause interference with the ailerons. They recommend 10mm max measured at the flap rear edge, inboard, down from the wing fairing. Exactly where are you measuring the flap throw? It seems that you are using more than the BH video. I'm asking this, as our field has a landscape fabric runway, 300 ft long and I want to have a short of a takeoff run as possible. I do fly the Freewing AL37 and the B1 Bomber from that same runway. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Phil
Book says 48mm and im using 88-90mm. Half Flaps is 10mm / 5mm Up Elevator and Full Flaps is 25mm / 9mm Up Elevator.I didnt have aileron authority issues with flaps. Full setup details with these included is in description. Runway in video is 330 foot. When i touchdown in correct spot at first of runway it will dead stop by 3/4 of the total runway. Extra flap is slowing me down and i have control.
Any chance you can confirm that flaps need “up” elevator mix? I have only used down on my planes so far. Just installed the V2 controller board so I want to get this right. And where are you measuring the elevator throw? TIA From your specs: Flaps: (mm) Pos 0: Flush with aileron/wing Pos 1: 10mm / 5mm Up Elevator Pos 2: 25mm / 9mm Up Elevator Speed: 4.0 Linked
but wouldn't that slow down the deploy for all flap/elevator settings? I might be wrong, but I thought that speed setting applied globally to all flap/elevator settings@@BDTennessee
BD another great video. You’re one good pilot and you flew the plane spot on. Keep up the great videos and thanks for being very informative.
Danny
Thanks so much Danny!
good looking flight and set-up !!!
Appreciate the good words JCB!
Well done BD.. looks like a great plane to bring to the field on those special days to show off.... I'm sure its a real crowd pleaser.... Thanks for sharing.. Will
Turns head for sure! Thanks for watching and comment Will!
Nice flying!
Thanks Koko!
Great review BD! Love the detailed info in the description ❤
Appreciate you nirlachman!
Absolutely superb review bud I've been holding off doing the bypass as wanted a smooth transition between wing sweep and elevator ive been racking my brain how to do this my friend a short demo would be welcomed by many I'm sure 👍
Thanks Paul! Yes ill post video next few days on how to setup.
@@BDTennessee superb bud I look forward to seeing it 👍
@@paulmullen8316 stay tuned :)
Yes a tutorial would be good thing for wing sweep settings Please..
Yes please!!!
Brad fantastic flying and Bone setup for smooth flying. Zoom zoom zoom Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff in LA!
Nice job and plane. Unfortunately, I don’t have the cash or room to add one of those to my hangar.
Appreciate you txfklier! Heard that,its a big jet!
Man that runway looks slick from all that grease! 😁
Bahahaha, thanks!

Ill check to see if i still have the file. I posted MM cause its easy top measure and helps with all brands of radio...

Check out the iX14 video about Flight modes for wing sweep aircraft. Setup is same with NX.

Looking at the monitor,elevator should change by 30 in value. Mine goes from positive 15 to positive 45...

5300 works. I have used both. RC Geek afterburnerkit going to look nice!@@tughillrc6327

Heard that! Fun hobby!
Do you have a spektrum setup file for the ix12 you’d be able to share?
I dont.I could share mine if there is way to upload.
So mine has arrived and all is setup except CG and Flaps. I'm using the stock gyro setup.
It seems that you are using the exact CG recommended in the instructions. Do I have that correct?

@@BDTennessee Thanks for getting back to me. Exactly where are you measuring the flap travel?
@@philipshelton386 i used a deflection gauge.Starts at 0 in center of surface and measure stopping point.
@@BDTennessee Thanks! Now I'm all set. Just waiting for a weather window. Can't thank you enough for giving back to the B1B community.
@@philipshelton386 great! Let me know how maiden goes. Trying to give back when i can :)
Any chance you can confirm that flaps need “up” elevator mix? I have only used down on my planes so far. Just installed the V2 controller board so I want to get this right.
And where are you measuring the elevator throw?
TIA
From your specs:
Flaps: (mm)
Pos 0: Flush with aileron/wing
Pos 1: 10mm / 5mm Up Elevator
Pos 2: 25mm / 9mm Up Elevator
Speed: 4.0 Linked
Yes, up elevator. Measurement is leading edge by the fuselage.
@ Thanks for the quick reply. Now I can finish my setup with the V2 board.
How do you get the elevator movement slow in your flight mode for wing sweep.
Assign switch in flight mode for wing sweep.Setup on a separate flight mode. Set switch for flaps to flight mode in flap system screen.
but wouldn't that slow down the deploy for all flap/elevator settings? I might be wrong, but I thought that speed setting applied globally to all flap/elevator settings@@BDTennessee
@@cliffdavis3247 not when setup correctly.Separate movement speed for flaps and elevator when wings sweep.
