Oh boy!
Nice! I thought you didn't have FT foam board where you are at?
last spring I bought some from lindinger.at which distributes flite test products here in europe
Cool!
Yes the aluminium tape both takes the paint a lot better but also sticks to the foam way better than any other I have used
So, have you ever tried installing retracts on a plane that size? Or made plans to accommodate retracts? The FMS Yak 70 mm jet has perfect landing gear for this size of plane...
Yes I have thought about it but for now Im not interested to spend extra money on retracts which would also make the plane heavier. I also don't have a flying field nearby so its just a lot easier not to have them
I am pretty sure you can program if/then statements that would check for if the flaps are down and if they are, it would not allow a wing sweep. I have a friend that is good a programing that kind of stuff, but I am not. I know this doesn't solve your problem, but I am pretty sure it can be done with Open TX.Everything beginns fit together, only the vertical and horizontal stabs are missing. I have done all the cable management, there are 8 servos in total. Im using the frsky x8r receiver and the x9 lite transmitter. Next up I need to program the transmitter. I'm planing to do it in such a way that there are 3 flightmodes connected to a 3 position switch. The extended mode, half swept mode and fully swept mode. Flapperons on the main wings are are functional only in the extended mode. The elevons and rudders are functional in all flight modes and I can adjust their travel, expo and trim amount in each flightmode separately. One problem I have found with this setup is that as far as I'm concerned there is nothing that prevents sweeping the wings if the flaps are down, and in this case the flaps would hit the fuselage. I'm still quite new to frsky radios and dont know much about them, if someone knows how to do it better please teach me!
