I have thrown out parts like that as well, then thought later damn it, shoulda kept those lolIn flight should stabilize. Though I only used the 5g pg digital servos on the mini ft-22. Actually threw out 3 of these servos thinking they were junk because of this same behaviour. Gutted now I've figured they were probably ok. Ah well.
Well, I haven’t had too much time on my hands recently, but I did work on a thrust vectoring system! I’m not sure how I’m going to mount the servo for it yet, but once I’ve finished the wing/fuse, I’ll start playing with that. I’m super excited for this because I’ve never done thrust vectoring before, and from what I saw on the ft vid of the thrust vectoring viggen, it makes for a pretty crazy plane! And my ft-22 v3 has its last flight today - the elevons are so sloppy, I couldn’t pull out of the basic maneuvers I was doing. Oh well - at least I’ll have a v4 to crash pretty soon!😂
I like the thrust vectoring idea. That unit you built, is supposed to pitch the prop up and down correct?Here’s a pic of the thrust vectoring system I painstaking hand cut out cause my jigsaw blade broke and the only replacement blades at the hardware store were too big...
Yup / up and down. Too bad about the bb. I fixed and crashed the spitfire today but all it needs is regluing the wingtips, new prop, and a little elevator gluing. Great flight though. Really got the inverted down now!I like the thrust vectoring idea. That unit you built, is supposed to pitch the prop up and down correct?
I crashed my BB today as well, more of a hard landing, on the nose. Another broken firewall. Easy fix. I am slowly convincing buddy on the Viggen idea. I hope he lets me build his 70mm EDF into it.
Stay away from the milky ones. Clear is better.Got back from the big city and came with presents: View attachment 143077
All loaded up on FB for this project and another Scout. Man I love FB, so cheap to buy and effective to build with.

Got some glue sticks... though I am kinda worried about my choice in the type of glue sticks. Can you tell the difference in the new ones from the old ones?
The servos can't center. They're trying really hard. Too much for them to handle. I'd suggest going to 9gram, but I get the same thing with 9gram on a couple of my planes. Sometimes it's the proximity of the transmitter. Back off the TX by 5 feet, and things quiet down.This is something I have never seen before, check it out:
Comments or suggestions?
Do you mix it in with your right stick along with your control surfaces?Here is my version of TV made out of ABS and heli parts. Did some wacky things with it. Suggest you use metal gears or it will probably strip the plastic gears. It is even wilder when you put in at the rear.

Couldn't you use a Rx from another plane?my f22 still sits in the pile to be maidened....just the basic from the plans f22 ...little concerned over the rx in it ,might wait for a new rx before trying it !!!
