Snap flaps

speed
butterfly/crow
full span ailerons

Futaba 10J (8J) is a little more obscure for sailplane or DLG programming, but I managed in this way to set up a DF Libelle with:
Landing flaps
Snap Flaps
Camber
Reflex

(not shown is full house programming giving two stage landing flaps, full span aileron mixing, butterfly, snap flaps etc - this will require at least a 7-8 channel rx)


I’ve set up my radios so all the “down” flaps are on the left top side of the tx (landing flaps, camber etc), the 3d mixes are left front of the tx (full span ailerons and snap flaps ), and the “up” flaps (reflex, launch) are on the right front and rates on top right.

Using this method. There will be other approaches, but this worked well enough for me. I can now use this TX to hike to more remote sites, and keep my higher end TX for local fields. The TX is lightweight, has non-exposed aerial for good transport., and has enough features including setup for full house gliders if required. Some programming is alittle quirky, and not being a radio expert, it takes a bit of research to get things right. I think you lack servo speed on this, but I can live with this for sloping. However, I've been told speed is availble under TRIM MIX but only if using the GLIDER menus. I'll check this out one day

I recommend upgrading to the NIMH Futaba which is deciated to this and the 14SG. Does not add much weight

Just motor mounting, linkages and good to go. Going white, with black decals this time around... and here's a shot of the garage now summer holidays are here... next week looks windless...electricity bill will be higher

Very straightforward build, much quicker than the Crack Yak I found.

3s 850 Nanotech, 10x4.5

https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...51&postcount=2

The prefabrication of the model is a dream, as finishing time is so short. Parts are well formed, and it actually looks quite decent. Did carbonize both upper and lower wings, and reinforced gear section using short carbon rods and expoy . Running 850 3s.

Decals are delicate, and prone to chip, or tear if you get any glue near the surface. Motor/battery bay is large, and RX servo bay is good size also. Servos appear to be a little slower than something like the Stuntmaster from multiplex, but time will tell. I used uhu por on the entire build, and must say the part alignment left little to do when measuring wing to tail alignment for example. Nice going there Durafly. I wonder if they may venture into more 3d/aerobatic models, as the plug and play ease is a nice change from building when time is short.

After the maiden, My initial impressions was that it files more like small balsa models I've flown, quite slippery and quick to react, and you need to keep on your toes if you are going to go low, even at full rates. One flight isn't enough however, and it may actually be flying too light on 850's, and may perform better on 1300, which I think is seen in the M. Wargo video of this model.

Three or more flights today, and I have to say that it is a pretty decent airframe!!
Small video of flight characteristics from flight 6 or so. Wind from behind. Gives some idea of flight envelope etc.

Finally some time to fly, so time to maiden the HyperBipe. Reinforced as per thread suggestions. Taking other foam friends for the trip...

MAIDEN DAY:

Squeezed in a maiden, and another 3 flights inbetween the rain today. In my opinion, Multiplex have produced a superb flying model here. Felt right at home as soon as it left my hand, which is not always the case with every 3d model I've flown. KE is precise and very predictable, and I don't recall any coupling issues whatsoever. Snaps, waterfalls are very nice, tight and nice to behold. Hover is decent on the small motor, and vertical is totally possible. The blender to flatspin is amongst the very best I've seen in foam models this size. Very tight and fast at the end if you want it to be. It is a born rolling machine, and rollers both ways are very predictable and doable. Rolling loops are very natural to this plane, as are nice turnarounds, inverted and low, slow flying. It is probably a little more slippery than EPP models, and that makes things like the blender to flat spin fast and snappy.

The RR version is a real treat, so quick and simple to install. Just watch the clevis pins, which are quite bendy, but totally hold up under fire.

Go out and buy one foam 3d lovers! I'd definitely replace with another if needed in the future. BTW: both flights were on tired old 3s 450's. Have some fresh lipo juice on the way. Flew on max rates, with both 60% expo on everything, and max rates with 25-30%. 60% rates make it possible to fly 3d plus some slower pattern type moves, but I enjoyed the agility of lower rates mostly.

Warning. This video contains copious amounts of eye-candy ground shots, and just a little in flight video. Specked out quick on wide view hat cam, so resorted to drooling over how great this plane looks..lol...song choice is also highly appropriate for us guys who have it bad for planes...lol... don't take me too seriously. I certainly don't. BTW: obscene wind for a maiden, but loved every minute flying this 3d monster. Can't wait for a still day to actually trim her up! Superb!! HS65mg, 85mg ele.
