Came yesterday !
Wow , was on sale !
Got it relatively cheap with free postage !
Wow HK has made for a really good Xmas this year ! ( Thanks HK ) , did anyone else hit the HK Xmas deals or pre Xmas deals ..
Some of those deals were seriously good , I mean
good !
So for future reference if anyone else pics up one of these !
You want the smallest stuff ( Rx , Batt , UBEC or Voltage booster ) in the nose ... Why you ask ?
Because it balances very close to the recommended CG with next to nothing in the nose - that's why .
The sample I got ! Beautifully made ...
Ok .... Assembly ! ( This was fun )
It looks plug and play , but its not !
Start with the elevator .. Make sure the push rod wire is the correct length ( Oh I lucked out big time here )
I botched this big time ( calculations ) and by pure
luck got it perfect ...
So plug in your Rx , and sort out the elevator first , I reversed the servo connector ( turned it upside down ) to clear the wing ..
Once your elevator is sorted , then plug in the wing ...
With the ailerons I had to trim the length of the control rods as they were so long as to bind the ailerons ...
I think most know how to sort out their ailerons ..
With 2 servos you will need to do a little mixing ..
I will be using my Taranis Q x7 with the IRX4+ multi protocol module bound to a DSM2-22 Rx
Anyhow , this is where I sort of ran into problems ( CG )
300mAh 2s , UBEC + 6 Ch DSM2 Rx and my CG is around 60/65mm from the LE rather than the recommended 80mm
Well , the DLG is sorted but I will have to go with a better in the guts solution .
So around 1am I ordered a smaller 4 ch Rx ( DSM2 ) , smaller UBEC , as well as some 1s to 5v boosters to run 1s batteries ( I have a few )
So there you go , just too much weight in the nose at the moment .
Just have to wait to play with the Mini DLG pro
