The phone should show whether Wi-Fi is available whether it is locked or not if you are within range. If I walk close to the house and watch for Wi-Fi notifications that would say a lot. If that's the case then time to find a new place to fly.Remember you phone is looking for the WiFi protocol. It is something else on that Freq ( Bluetooth, unlicensed MW, etc) I doubt it would show on your phone. I have an Fifi analyzer on my PC. My DX6ewill not show up on it.
Nice Maiden! You pulled off some pretty slick moves, there! You're right, too. Your 3D skills are rapidly improving. Tail touch? Really?! Just awesome.Here is yesterday’s maiden of the FT-3D! I’m already improving!

Excellent flight. I heard the touch tail.Here is yesterday’s maiden of the FT-3D! I’m already improving!
Video playback is blocked on other sites. Fyi. Bummed. Wanted to see it. I'm in Phoenix and yea...this is our time of the year. Got about 5 good months of flying before the heat is back huh. And then...night flying lol. Just hope those winter storms from California miss on the weekends.until you see these guys fly in real life it just doesn't do justice. i am lucky, Desert Aircraft is based in Tucson. They are the "go to guys" for the motors these guys use. Every year they host the Tucson Aerobatics Shootout, this is top of the top of pilots. the freestyle performances are amazing.
this is round 1 this year. for some reason they haven't posted the rest. round 5 was INSANE!!!!
laters,

Nice paint job. I need to color wing tips on my Cubs black wing. Easy to lose perspective. Especially when the sun is low.Took the Storch and the mountain scout out this morning! View attachment 147185
The real ones hates inverted lol. No fuel injection! I do love the spitfire. Corsair is my favorite but spit is a close second. Those iconic wings! They did a lot of damage to the luftwaffe! Won the battle of Britian.Finally got one video uploaded! It’s of me flying the spitfire for the first time in a while. I pushed it pretty hard and had a ton of fun!😁

Dunno if you come up to the valley much but, always some people flying out at ASU west campus. They let us hang out in the big south east parking lot that has a big open field next to it. You'll see everything out there from park flyers to Trex helis, gas, EDF jets and even ground vehicles racing. Guys bring trainers out, setup canopies and even BBQ for night flying every now and then. Just off Thunderbird and 43rd Avenue. Enter off the 43rd ave entrance south ofthird. 😁
Thanks! Yup - stock c pack on a 1500 3s. Very pleased with the performance.That was an awesome little run bro. I want one. Is that the C pack on there?
You were using quite a bit of right rudder input balanced with throttle, right? Thanks for the tips, as I have no flying instructors, I really appreciate this feedback. I built the ft-22 for inverted practice and did the inverted pattern flying and feel really comfortable with it now. However that was 3 channel so next flight with the ft-3D I’ll take it up and do inverted figure 8’s to practice flying with rudder. It’s coming though.Looks like a good plane to practice. I am impressed that you can fly inverted!!!
Your started doing knife edges but you need to slow the whole process down. Could you answer me this question.
Say I keep the throttle at 80 % (your not allowed to change throttle) and go into a knife edge and it starts to drop. What can you do to level it out and continue? Anything else happens and how do you adjust?
Also, practice left to right and then right to left.
If you are going to hover and if you can fly inverted and also knife edge, you will reduce your crashing quite abit.
Another exercise is take your inverted flight up 2 crash heights and now start doing figure 8's( that's a good exercise learning how to use rudder(have to add elevator ) in turns. Figure 8's both ways.
Use the WOW method. Always Work On Weaknesses.
Can you explain how I did this with the controls?
Full right rudder, feathering the down elevator and working the throttle to hang off the prop. I have seen some pretty crazy landings just by hanging off the prop, just lays the plane down with next to no roll out. Cool maneuver though, definitely more skilled the I amLooks like a good plane to practice. I am impressed that you can fly inverted!!!
