  • Great Sunday Afternoon Flying! (pics and video)

    Well, I have just completed my first ever "day out flying" Took both my Belt CP and my Raptor 30, and did around 3/4 Tanks

    First up was my Raptor 30 for a while, great stability, love the thing. there are a few things that need tweaking, engine tuning is bad, think ile get a new engine to be honest, Gyro was holding well with a few hiccups here and there , mainly just hoverd about and last flight i did some circuits wich went really well, looked reallly good aswell, Also had Audiance aswell :P

    in the middle of all that, i tried my 450 to give it a rest, but What the F%c$? it was pretty messed unstable as hell, nearly had to give full trim to stop it going forward, would piro round to the left regardless of the tail pitch at center stick, even tho the gain was good and even increased it to tail wag and still piroed round,

    then it the dreadful glitching happened it would zap a bit up and forward not much but like a sharp poke, something is seriously wrong with it, the day before it was completely fine, (Youtube Video) had it dead on hover but today.. was just errr? then i took it a bit higher, and things went wrong again, so i littlery zapped it down and landed it, and that was that, so i went back to my Raptor

    Here are some Pics







    and a video (this is the first flight of the afternoon so just hovering about)

    Other then the few issues with the engine and the Belt CP, was really a pleasnt afternoon and i may errr skip college a bit to fly again :P

    Regards

    Found the Blooming Culprit with the Belt CP,

    The servo under the Gyro is acting weird, it will function fine, then all of a sudden stop functioning, then move all the way to its travel limits causing the linkage to mess up, then its a repeating cycle at random times and will shudder also , the gears are fine and not stripped, Confused as hell as yesterday it was working 100%

    so ile leave it for awhile, i got my Raptor to fly now

      That looked nice and steady and kept it fairly tight, I find it much easier with my nitro than I do my little Blade 400, so much more stable, weather looked good as well. Looks like you had a fun afternoon, 450 aside.

              I think the arrow is pointing the wrong way

              Nice video, the 30 is very stable.

              Im glad you found the problem with the BeltCP, it sounds like you were lucky not to crash it with a dodgy servo.
