Hi,
I've been fly model aircraft since I was 12 years old. From line control, to free flight, to R/C. I've shared the hobby with my sons. They are all grown up, one is married and they still go flying with me from time to time. In my current fleet of hobby fixed wings I have a RMRC Recruit, RMRC Mini Recruit, and Nano Goblin
I fly at my club's airfield in South Dartmouth, MA It's a tough field to learn at since the field is near the ocean, gusts over 24mph are typical. The challenge is variable winds. When the wind is variable you need to keep an eye on the windsock.
The model airplane that packs the most power and weight for it's size is my Mini Recruit. I am still trying the get the nano goblin to fly stable. I had a FRSKY S6R installed but with gyro sensitivity high or low... it is twitchy. It can fly it but if you find my video posted here you will see it takes off like a wild bird.
During most of the flight video I had flight stabilization off and was trimming the controls a bit. When a strong thermal hit I kicked in stabilization and tried to tune the gyro during flight.. too twitchy. So I turned it off and landed it in non stabilized mode.
I bought the Flight Test Aura 5 lite to give that a go. I've seen the flight test videos of the nano goblin with that controller. It looks great.
Does 6 axis just give a level flight and limit how much down elevon is applied ? On my bench that's what it looked like. 3-axis worked as expected.
Here's a video of the Maiden of my Nano Goblin. This flight is with the FrSky S6R with stabilization off.
