you can also get a cheap battery alarm, they work great for a few bucks

Agreed, I have one of those, and it never fails. (Though I normally land way before it’d even go off)

Thanks so much. I have heard of something called telemetry, where you can see the battery level and set alarms so you don't ruin your batteries. Does the FS-i6x have it?

About that. I’d expect 6 minutes minimum. Up to 12 minutes. (I hit 12 minutes with my spitfire on power pack C with a 2200 3s.)

I believe that's with the more premium flysky transmitters....

I generally fly for about 5 mins (Unless a I am flying something super powerful!)...I can feel it when it is getting lower...I should probably use a battery alarm! 😂

Power pack B comes with control horns btw

So it comes with everything but linkage?

It looks like the powerpack B doesn't come with control horns...

 

[Houndpup Rc]

It does have linkage stoppers though...

Yeah that is what I thought when I read it. It does not seem to come with any lever arms.

Here is the updated list that I will buy alongside power pack B

But in all of the build videos…..

 

[A2Moonclaw]

Alright I am buying the stuff now! Thanks for the advice. I will post any more questions and progress here.

Power pack B arrived and it DOES come with the lever arms.

practically non-doable on the fsi6x, but I have not found it too useful, as I just dont want tot take my eeye off the plane to look at it, and its a bit nervewracking to not know when its going to go off. I just use a timer, and test a couple timer options and only use telemetry for some edge cases like combat where the plane has to stay up as long as possible. Also, your kit should come with the control horns @Mr Man

Yup, that’s what I was saying!😂😂😂. (If by kit you mean powerpack)

no the plane kit like the speed build kit comes iwth control horns, the power pack does not. same with control rods, rubber bands, skewers, etc, as they are per plane

Oh yeah, I went to FT’s website and you’re right 👍.

the power pack did come with the servo arms. I am building the plane and not buying the kit.

 

[bisco]

ft must have changed it without updating the website

 

[AIRFORGE]

All servos from FT have servo horns. Power packs with servos have servo horns.
None of the power packs have control surface horns.
