Do you mean to say that you want to attach your receiver to the battery? This would be a pain since every time you change batteries you disturb the receiver. The best possible scenario for receiver placement is as far away from the battery and ESC as possible.

I have been flying my v1 S surfer for a long time. I originally flew it with a CG of 70mm and I felt that it was a touch tail heavy and it would tend to porpoise when in a power off glide. Recently I decided to use mt Ssurfer for an fpv trainer, but to do this I want to get the plane to fly nicely in a power off glide. I came back to this thread to see what others are using for a CG location and saw a few posts about using a CG location of 60mm from the leading edge. I rebalanced mine at 60mm and took it out to the field for a few test flights. I left all control surfaces neutral, and slowly added nose weight until the porpoising in a power off glide stopped. When It finaly stopped porpoising I rechecked the actual CG and it would balance perfectly level at 30mm from the leading edge Why would the CG be so much differnt from the vast majority on this thread?? I have to say, even with it this nose heavy, it still would glide forever!

I have a stock power system on a V1 from RMRC. I was using a 6x4 APC, but I want more thrust up here in the thinner air (7500 ft). I re-mounted the stock brushless motor on the adjustable CNC mount available for this plane and now a 7x4 APC fits. I used my whatt meter to check the amp pull and it does not seem to be much of a difference between that and the 6x4. I do not have the specs on the motor, but does anyone know what the max amp ratings are for this motor? The stock ESC is 20 amp, so It must be under that...
This is an FPV setup by the way.... AUW around 34oz with 3s 2200, but I'd like to run two in parallel later on for longer flights. |

OrangeRX 610 https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=11965 Here is the scoop on satellite receivers and their purpose. http://www.spektrumrc.com/dsm/techno...dfeatures.aspx I would expect the orange satellite to work in the same way as the Spektrum. But since I do not use a satellite in my cheapo planes I cannot vouch for the Orange nor the Spektrum satellites. |
