Spartan Vortex Test Results

Gonna be a few maidens this weekend

Ermm, hope your going to be at the field the weekend?

More than likely mate as I want to get some more flights on it and some without the high winds so I dont freeze my nuts off. Last Sunday I just flew from where we park with the cars and left it running so I could sit in it in between flights and get my hands warm. Also doubled as a batt warmer

I need a tit mitt!!

I have one, and the heater that goes inside it, your welcome to try it...
I found that you don't really need the heater, the mitt keeps the wind off which makes one hell of a difference

[Jamin_00]

Is it one of these newer one?

Apparently they have more room inside??

Woo hoo it turned up....omg how frickin small is it

Will be installing tonight for definite

[Gavalar]

Fits brilliant that's what I thought how frigging small. Setting up with data pod is good too.
still bloody trying to set up the ice esc... Won't go into setup mode for end points...rah.

i have the sensor in front of the servos and the unit in front so all the wires nicely disappear under the battery tray.

as I said before read the instructions because they do make sense and help.

Also have you grounded you tail, been look at our friends over the pond and quite a few of them have done it. Wondered if it made much difference.

[Andy from Sandy]

With Futaba S-Bus why is the default channel selection have the pitch on channel 3 and throttle on 6? Futaba by default have it the other way round.

No not grounded it, did notice your other thread but couldn't find any examples but I can't see it hurting by doing it

[Gavalar]

Think I will, won't harm.
Once it's back down it will dissipate through the cf frame.

If I remember right it depends if you are using 7ch or Multi modulation when you select the FASST mode (or it may be related to the transmitter). In any case, it seems that Futaba have moved the collective to ch3 and the throttle to ch6 on new systems. This gives better channel grouping as now aileron, elevator and collective channels gets updated with less latency from each other.

I have a 14SG and when I select FASST-MULT, 14 channel mode, it sets the elevator to 3 and pitch to 6. It is no big deal to swap in either device I know, thank you for your thoughts.

Well, that was a bit misleading, he left 2 parcels but took my Vortex back to the depot, which is fair enough.

Going through the instructions it talks about flight mode, as I read it is that another way of bank switching?
