Hey all,
I have finally done it and gone and got myself a four channel airplane after flying multirotors and the Inum since January.
I didn't obey some basic flight rules, however, when I tried to fly it in my backyard. It is the UMX PT-17 from Horizon Hobby, so it actually is small and slow enough...but only if you're good. I wasn't. I ended up jamming the ailerons.
I ordered a new servo and wing set and just put it back together, and she flies! But I ran into a curious problem. Using the Spektrum 4-channel cheapie controller that came with a multirotor, I had problems like:
Signal cuts out even from adjacent to the plane
At full throttle the motor stutters (and at lesser throttle too)
I'm thinking this means my flight batteries just need a fresh charge. Does that make sense?
I'll open up a whole new can of worms later when I try to bind this to the FrSky Taranis/DM9 combo. But I want to know I didn't screw something up with those symptoms.
