    To roll faster maybe having aero kind of mode ( flaps assisting the ailerons) might help.
    Anyways, very nice plane and flying. This plane seems like it don't want to land :D

    Hi, What equipment have you installed additionally either in the radio, and/or glider to give the altitude and thermal beeps?

      Hi its a FrSky G-RX8 receiver. Thanks

      @@tdogrc - Excellent thank you... Does this receiver have the telemetry sensors built in for altitude / sink-climb rate? - or is that an additional module you plug in?
      - I assume the Receiver is actually a 'transceiver' to transmit the data back to the main Radio?

    I have the 1600 -2000 2400 and the ASW28 models from volantex.
    For the 2400, just combine Flaps as ailerons for more roll. And get crow for braking.
    I would recommend 4s, get a hobbywing skywalker 50a esc. That will do more right to the plane!

    • @tdogrc
      @tdogrc  3 года назад +2

      Hi. I used a 2200 3S but still needed to add nose weight. So I reckon 2500 to 3000 could work. Cheers 👍

  • @bigblokeinuk8974
    @bigblokeinuk8974 3 года назад +1

    How much weight did you need to add? I've got one of these and with the recommended battery, 2200 3S - which looks longer than the one you have fitted, I needed to add over 5oz to get anywhere near the CoG. Still battling with it, I find it highly unstable. Not sure if its me or the model!

    • @tdogrc
      @tdogrc  3 года назад +3

      Think it was about 150 grams. I know it was a fair bit. It is pretty stable now though. I have it just nose heavy. Thanks for watching 👍

    Hi, have watched a number of your videos now, most enlightening, thanks. I am hoping to get into RC, have spoken the John W and hope to meet up with him at the field when there is some better weather. Hope to see you there sometime to get some more advice on training and selecting my first plane / transmitter etc. Regards Helen
