@BATTLEAXE Did you fly today?
That's a negative. Was busy in town today. it was a good day to not be flying actually, a lot of wind. Which bit me yesterday. Was building though. Got a Bronco on the go, wing/twin booms/tail built. Got servos installed. Making it a single prop pusher. An Explorer/Bronco mash up.@BATTLEAXE Did you fly today?
Was too busy today. Tomorrow will be dedicated to the viggen I hope though. I got some plywood at the hobby shop today so I’ll see if I can do a thrust vectoring for v2.That's a negative.

You workin not flying?
How are you going to put together the thrust vectoring with the plywood?Was too busy today. Tomorrow will be dedicated to the viggen I hope though. I got some plywood at the hobby shop today so I’ll see if I can do a thrust vectoring for v2.
I’m not sure. I might just buy the ft one.How are you going to put together the thrust vectoring with the plywood?
yes it did real good to fly. I put the power nose back on today and it was terribly nose heavy, any ideas?Were you throwing it into the wind?
Sometimes if there is no power and just a glide there might not be enough air flow over the control surface to keep it aloft so the up elevator at max throw will be needed to compensate. once under power the thrust wash from the prop and the increased air speed will level it out.
Did it feel good to see it fly?
The first TT I had was really nose heavy and I built it as per the design and build vid. And there was next to no room in the fuse to move things around to balance it the CG. I used the 850 3s as well and it can get tight in there. So I made a second moving the elevator/rudder servos right back to the tail just in front of the tail feathers to get the weight back and open up room inside the fuse. If you just make a new tail section you will find better results with the CG balance. If you don't you can just add some weight to the tail to get it to balance out, 2 or 3 nickels taped to the tail should help.yes it did real good to fly.

I tried throwing my trainer of a hill today with the glider nose and I am going to do it again. It helped me greatly to get the control down.
ps. I was full up on elevator the whole time, is that supposed to happen?
Woohoo! It’s fun, isn’t it?I took it out today and it worked great just a few bobbles here and there but all I need is a little practice. Thank you for all the advice.
Did you get the issue figured out?It went for a few good flights but one of then had a bad landing and after that it did not get enough power to fly properly and it just stalled even at a low angle of attack. Thank you so much
no not yet I was just thanking for all the help you have givin in the past. any ideas on what the proplem was?Did you get the issue figured out?
It's a 3s battery you are using rite. If you hook it up to a volt meter fully charged it may read as high as 13 volts. now when you plug your battery into your ESC it should count out the cells of the battery with 3 successive tones and then tone to tell you it's armed. If it is ringing out 4 successive tones that means it is programmed for a 4 cell, which in turn is a higher voltage and will go into low voltage cut out with a fully charged 3 cell battery. it's a problem I hae had recently so it is still fresh in my head. Sounds like you may have the same issue I didno not yet I was just thanking for all the help you have givin in the past. any ideas on what the proplem was?
ps. the battery was still at 11.9 volts
I know when I had the same issue as I mentioned in the earlier post it wasn't because of a crash, it was me screwin around with the Tx while I was pluggin things in and I went into program mode without me knowing till I tried to fly the Spit a couple times and 45 seconds into the flight it would pulse the motor in low voltage cut off. I had to read the directions to undo what I did and all was back to normal after that.Probably something with the esc, so after just booting everything up with a fresh battery and doing what @BATTLEAXE said, the first thing I’d replace would be the esc. I highly devout you’d ruin the esc with just a crash though...
