Great video quality and thank heavens for the "save". Awesome scenery, any chance of a pic of your video setup?

Here is a pic of the camera:

The mount itself, shown with a different camera:

It definitely flies better with the camera turned sideways as in the video, but I prefer the videos taken with it pointing forward, as in the pictures above.

Hey guys, are these going to be alright on the pro?

Graupner has been my choice on my quads.... I saw another guy using this setup. Flew nice

That's what I use on my RP along with the BB Turbo Aluminum Spinner:

Didn't realize there was a Turbo Spinner & just Spinner. So I got the Turbo which has an open front for cooling which doesn't do any cooling 'cause the RP has a solid firewall, but no biggie, can't see it up at altitude & it doesn't look that bad. Don't feel like spending $28 for another spinner, LOL

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but the spinner size for the Radian Pro should be "50mm diameter x 4mm shaft x 8mm shoulder"
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...2#post18882334

From what I understand, the above linked Graupner spinner is for a 38mm diameter.

I dont have the plane in my hands dam job... But will I need a new spinner to run the graupners?

Hmmmm, those are the exact props that I have on my RP and I even had to make the hole larger on the blades to fit the spinner??

But you are correct Quasi, the measurements are 50/4/8.

rcoconut, my RP does have cooling holes in the firewall..yours doesn't?

You can use the stock Radian Pro spinner, but the holes in the Graupner props will have to be drilled out to 3mm so that the stock pins will fit the props. Some have used a small washer on the trailing edge of the hole in the prop as a spacer so that the prop folds back properly.

I bought my Graupner props by themselves from I-Care, here in Canada.

You know, I was quoting another pilot from the beginning back when I got the Turbo Spinner that said that spinner does nothing for use and should order the "regular" spinner. You would definitely know more regarding details with the RP. I guess I could look at the manual huh?? I'm sure mine would have the front cooling holes if yours does?

I wasn't sure either, so after reading your post I checked, and saw the holes in the firewall. When I ordered the turbo I also purchased a regular spinner, but the turbo seemed a little lighter, and I liked the idea of extra cooling. Especially after I found that the new prop tended to heat up my stock parkzone batteries more than the stock prop. I have some higher rated batteries now and have no heating issues any more.

As promised, attached is my Radian Pro program for the Hitec Aurora 9. I have only had an opportunity for a quick maiden and test this morning so no guarantees on the settings (ie. not sure if the aileron to rudder mix is sufficient or not.)

The way I have this setup is;
Standard servo to channel mapping;

• Ch1 Aileron 1 (left)
• Ch2 Elevator
• Ch3 Aileron 2 (right)
• Ch4 Rudder
• Ch5 Flap 1 (left)
• Ch6 Flap 2 (right)
• Ch7 Throttle

Elevator and Flap 2 are reversed.

Both flaps are assigned to the Central Trim (CT) to enable the servo midpoint to be offset allowing a little up for reflex and aileron to flap mix and maximum down. I then moved the connecting rods to the second up from the bottom hole on the flap horn to increase the throw. To get max throw from the flaps for Butterfly, I use 125% throw in the mix and use the adjust function (assigned to RT) to increase this further.

Dual rates for Aileron, Elevator and Rudder are all assigned to switch C giving three sets of rates. Switch up is max throw, middle and low are as per instructions.

Four additional flight conditions; Speed (switch E = reflex and elevator trim), Thermal (switch E = camber and elevator trim), Launch (switch B = motor enabled via throttle lock assigned to same switch) and Landing (switch D = butterfly enabled on throttle stick)

Camber mix is assigned to the Left Trim (LT). This way I can use the camber trim to implement reflex in Speed mode and camber in the Thermal mode. Ideally I would like to have camber on a slider but then I can’t figure out how to get full trailing edge offset to enable reflex and camber in Speed and Thermal modes.

Motor is assigned to switch F. I have swapped the momentary switch from H to F for this purpose. By using throttle lock assigned to switch B, I have a safety built in and motor only works in Launch mode.

Aileron to Rudder mix is on switch A. Not yet sure if the setting of 30% is correct. More testing needed.

Finally, Aileron to Flap mixing is enabled in all modes with differential settings to match the mechanical diff of the ailerons.

Any questions or suggestions for improvements please let me know.

Cheers
Dean

question is since im new is it possible to have one of the flight modes use the motor on the throttle stick? on this setup in any mode the motor is full throttle only on switch f

thanks

Is it possible to under prop at high elevations? I ask because I am using an Aeronaut Cam 11x6 and pulling less than 20 amps peak from the stock motor. I am at 6000 ft.

For sure. I notice a difference in power between flying in the valley at 1700 feet and flying at the ski hill at 5500 feet. A few days ago I went up there with a couple of friends on a super-hot day, and we hiked up past the ski hill to an alpine lake that is surrounded by awesome scenery. I was so excited about the prospect of getting some serious slope soaring in, and we all had cameras.

As I was digging things out of my pack, I started to get this sinking feeling. After the pack was completely empty, it became apparent that the wing spar was still in the truck. I was so stoked to fly, that I contemplated carving one out of a willow stick, but common sense prevailed.

That really stinks, Jovanx. I have felt the shame and the "you are ****** kidding me", forgot the spar blues here, too.

Should I go up in pitch, or diameter?
