FliteTest in Phoenix RC (Model Index)

[Dagger69]

Hi Dagger,

I'll add ailerons that seem right to me and post it here in a few days.

With respect to a good first models, if you want to build one I like the Tiny Trainer.
Easy to learn to fly with the dihedral wing, and you can switch to the aileron wing as you improve.
I built that one myself and its a great model.

If you want to buy a RTF model, you can't go wrong with the Sport Cub S as it has SAFE mode to help newbies.
A friend of mine has one and it works great.

Dear Rickp
did you finished a modified model FT ?

FT Flyer with Ailerons

Here's Dagger69's Flyer with ailerons, and I have to say that I enjoy it a lot more than the 3 channel version.
It's a blast - take it for a spin and see for yourself.

Unzip and install the pkg file as a Phoenix update and you'll find "Flitetest Flyer with Ailerons" in the electric list.

No worries - like me, maybe you need a second cup of coffee!

Its great to see @rickp has picked up the torch over here! As everyone is aware, Phoenix is off the shelf. I contacted Horizon support around the time they were slipping away and they provided me with a link to download the full version. I'm providing it here as abandonware, along with the email, including install instructions I received from them.

The ftp site contained is no longer working. Use this link instead.

I updated the first post with a link to @rickp 's great work and the download link for Phoenix 5.5 from Horizon Hobby. It is not a "cracked" version. You still need the dongle.

I hope I'm not just missing the link and if I am I apologize. Has there been a FT Cruiser or MM Cruiser model built for Phoenix? The FT is on my to-do list for this weekend. I'm hoping I can get a few sim runs on while waiting in the ER... lol

 

[davidkdk]

I believe you'll find the FT MM Cruiser here... https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2382571-User-Built-Models-for-PhoenixRC

 

[Theuglycamel]

Awesome, that was it! Thank you!

I am unable to load the custom models into Phoenix using the abondonware version. I put them in the directory (although I have to add the Airplanes folder) but they don't show, I've tried on 2 computers now. Any ideas?

See if this helps:

I'm trying to update to the latest version of 5.5 (5.5l) but the h to i download isn't available on RCgroups, but I will try to move them into the pheonix builder directory instead

 

[messyhead]

I had some trouble too, but after upgrading, I found they worked if they were in the folder mentioned in the first post.

https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/flitetest-in-phoenix-rc-model-index.27096/

You can get the updates on the link below.

The models in this index wont work in the builder folder as they're complete.

I think the builder is for before the models are finished and exported.

 

[Ethanator10000]

You see, the updates need to be done in a consecutive order of g to h, h to i, i to j, j to k and finally k to l. The second update (h to i) is missing from the downloads, so I can't finish the update

 

[messyhead]

I still did the updates that are there, the missing one doesn't matter it seems.

Ethanator10000, I posted this reply in RCG as well, but you can find that update in this folder https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uprvktg45nizdra/AAClIlvY45CyGCZ3JLT2oIF6a?dl=0

Cheers, rick

 

[Ethanator10000]

Thank you! I'll try when I get home. And I did try skipping that update but it crashed the launcher.

Are people still building these? I'd love to have the p-40 and goblin, so I can still fly them when the weather is crap.

Hi dogflight_uk,

Indeed this person still is.

I'll add both to my queue and post here when done. It will be a few weeks.

Cheers, rick

Dogflight_uk,

With apologies, it's been more than a few weeks, but you can find the the Goblin as post #3836 in this RCG thread:

https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/sho...for-PhoenixRC/page192&perpage=20#post43625817

Will get to the P-40 eventually. Cheers, rick

Has anyone made the edge 540 for phoenix? I'm looking to try some 3d on that before I try it on my newly built edge.
