Bixler/SS or AXN
Can someone tell me the difference between the Bixler/SS and the AXN. Both are sold by Hobbyking but look the same bar the nose cone?
IMO the AXN is alot prettier, but other than that they seem identical. Anyone out there that has both and can tell me any differences |

Nope. Lapper. Don't worry about it....it's medieval, has had every upgrade it's capable of running, & more. It's just that ONE 3D graphics shader that guy uses....it runs other 3D apps like a champ. M-S Flight Sim 'Century' lives in the DVD drawer! Hell, I've run M-S Combat Flight Simulator on it....only thing that suffered was the frame rate when you had like 15 Messerschmitts after the bomber squadron you're escorting. I'd bet it'd handle RealFlight, but I ain't about to "afford" that either.
Here's the reply from the DeskPilot developer: "Hi, I'm sorry you're experiencing this problem. I'm afraid there is no simple/cheap solution. The notification you're getting is a warning that the graphics card doesn't support the required shader version 2. There is not much I can do about that since the technology I'm using requires that. I hope this clears up things and I'm sorry there is no simple solution. Cheers from Belgium, Davy Loots " |

I wanted an easy to fly relaxing model for a change. So going on all the imput on this thread i've picked the right model. However, me being me, it will have around 35amps of "ooompth" as they say! I've had to strengthen up the airframe and it will obviously be a little heavier than stock, but thats ok with me. All the mods so far are down to the great ideas from other people on this thread. So thanks to them! Picture of stronger hinges used and fibre tape to reinforce control surface hinge. Excuse the poor picture main camera is broke.. |

Be aware that it can be a bit of a bear to use on some planes that have gear, or struts under the wings, that might interfere with the uprights and horizontals on the balancer. It can be done, but it takes a few tries to figure out which direction is going to work. Also, the horizontals (the calibrated plastic rulers) can be hard to get along with. They always seem to want to be in the wrong place when you are trying to set the plane in place. But it does work very well if you're patient. Erkg, it doesn't balance on a point. On top of each support there is a ball joint supporting a plastic piece with a flat rubber pad on top of that to support the wing. Gord |

Actually, I am working on a tekkier version. Basically, a small pair of identical wood squares with one hole in each (just slide 'em apart to fit the plane); a couple of 1/8" dowels just long enough to hold the plane off the deck, & planning to trim the tips down to around 1/16" to contact the wing as small-ly as possible, & each with a seamstress-type tape measure attached that you just pull forward to read where the rod tips are resting, relative to the leading edge. For each new plane, eg ones with landing gear, just make another set of upright rods so it also will just barely clear the deck - the base(s) are adjustable by merely positioning. And it'll all fit in a quart-size ziplok bag for takin' to the field. I have one other trick up m' sleeve I ain't tellin' just yet. (Actually, it IS m' sleeve!) I'll show&tell when I get it all done....I think it's pretty slick & would bet nobody's thought of it! (Howzzat for a teaser?) |
