The old Etomic transmitters that came with the Vapor and Ember work great for introducing first time flyers or copilots. Make sure the batteries are new and not corroded! Use your full size tally transmitter as instructor and see this link for more info:

I cut flaps out and used a single servo to pull them down against a torsion spring but burned a 9 gram servo up. So I used a Hitech HS 80 for each flap and used a Y cable to plug into ch 5 of the 637 TA RX. In thermal mode the flaps go down about 3 degrees to match the ailerons that are in ch 2 and 6. In the landing mode the flaps go down about 80 degrees and the ailerons reflex up about 10 degrees. To make connecting easier I used Deans 4 pin plugs to combine power and signal wires. See pics

The CE with SAFE On climbs in a vertical 90 degree attitude and with rudder will do a stall turn and dive down. However today the CE ended up inverted in a 45 degree nose down dive. I tried to apply elevator but there was no elevator. She landed in a large bush at the edge of the flying field and was recovered. Later that day I held the fuselage in the same attitude with a 45 nose down inverted dive with SAFE On. I applied up elevator but there was no up elevator but DOWN elevator! It was if it knew that the quickest way to level was to apply down elevator even though I was overriding with up elevator! With SAFE Off normal travel and direction resumed.

So in the event that SAFE is not recovering from an unusual attitude it’s recommended that SAFE be turned off and manual recovery be initiated if the model can be seen.

The concept has been proven by using the Valiant landing gear installed in the Apprentice, Timber and Gentle Lady. The U shaped landing gear allow the lipo to fit between the legs. The aluminum has to be secure to the foam via hardwood such as 1/16 thick plywood that would extend forward on either side of the cockpit. A brace at the top would allow a single screw to keep the gear from falling down and away from the fuselage. The plastic exhaust plate on the belly would have to be removed and put back in place after the gear was plugged in place. This exhaust plate could be modified with a plywood plate to further secure the gear from changing shape before it extends away from the fuselage sides. A small stearable tailwheel would be attached to the rudder. See pics

Attached is my DX9 TX file for the Conscendo Evolution with spoilerons, thermal camber and flight modes for the throttle and D switch. Audio files are included. There is a warning about charging a SMART battery. It poses no problem...just hit the clear button or wait and it goes away.

I swapped out the stock 38 mm plastic spinner and 9.5x7.5 blades for an Art Hobby Low Drag 35 mm aluminum spinner. It’s stronger than the plastic and the blades are angled to have less drag when they are parked against the fuselage. The spinner supports the Graupner blades that come in various sizes and types. I chose to go up a little in prop size by .5 inch. The blades are 10 x8 carbon fiber and fit perfectly. I had to file a flat on either side of the drive shaft...Continue Reading
