Hey Tony, one question I forgot to ask. When you approached this mod , did you consider replacing the servo that controls the elevator with a servo that could convert the elevator into elevons thereby eliminating the need for ailerons? Would that have given you enough authority for the loops and rolls that you do now because those elevators are rather small?
Hi David! I did not consider that as I don't think it would provide any roll authority. I think it would act like a rudder doing that. I know VTail mixing is used specifically for that purpose using (2) separate servos to provide mixing for elevator and rudder. I thought about doing that specifically but I wanted to keep it as light as possible.
@@tinkerzlab yea I’ve already got another 400mm bt-109 volantex for my 1s batteries I ain’t using …I lucked up and got one of the clear canopy ones …at night red light shines through …idk what they done but u can fly it in expert now and it ain’t so wonky and it takes off and lands perfectly …yes I too couldn’t believe it …love those little planes
@@tinkerzlab you gonna love it ….today I moved all my pushrods to inside …when u get out of box all are on middle …and I also cut a slit in bottom of rudder and put my tail wheel in and glued …hopefully doesn’t effect cg but that puppy lands so good and takes off smooth as silk on road …I remember last one I had I jst took my wheels off
That plane is fast fast
It is quite speedy ;-)
So Smooth, Nice flying. You have rely got her dialled in. She is a ripper..lol.. Nice job.😎👍
P.S. Do you know the protocol for this z55 for the 4-in1 jumper tx . I have just got my one and it would be nice to fly on my open tx.. Thanks' again.
Thanks! It turned out much better than I thought.
@@ruflasto1 This is what I have documented but sometimes they change the boards.
Protocol MT99XX - Sub-protocol F949G
@@tinkerzlab Thank you. Yes i think that they have changed the board on my one. May be that's why it wont bind..lol...Thank you for your quick reply.👍
I was thinking of doing the same too my 2ch version, I hope you do a build video❤.
Just found the video 😂😂
It's a fun conversion.
I purchased the plane as it was only like 9 GBP too the door but it always looked like a good platform for modifications.
@@wesleycox3536 It definitely is a very good airframe for MODs.
I like the large wingspan on this Sub-250g Plane.

I wish someone would make a bigger version like a 1.1 or 1.3
Things are getting so restrictive I think we'll see more of the smaller planes.

@@snauzze7007 I have a FW190 on the way so I'm curious to see how that 400mm warbird handles.

How did u get one of those ersky pusher plane ? Thought that wasn’t available in USA?
This is the original 3CH version that I converted.
@@tinkerzlab no I was talking bout the 1.1 u had sitting beside table it’s like the aeroscout but a different brand name
@@snauzze7007 Got it!
That's the ESky Mini Eyas 2 and it has a 750mm wingspan which is great for a Sub-250g Plane.
@@tinkerzlab I like those but thought couldn’t get in USA or I might be thinking of something else but don’t they make a plane like the aeroscout
