I don't see any warning in the manual about running at partial throttle. I expect that it's ok so long as you are not restricting the airflow.

I am using a DX6i. If there is a way I could get a 3-position throttle using switches, and free up my left stick for proportional flaps, I am all ears. The point I was trying to make is that all-or-nothing throttle does not satisfy all users.

I see the DX7s does add one variable dial but the location would make it very inconvenient to use it for throttle or variable flaps. Pretty much limited to using 3 way switch for flap control which is fine for most people. Then you work on user mixes to create camber, reflex and, if desired, aileron-flap mix. |

The RP is fun, but it is foam and bendy foam and QC is not great, but you can replace the entire airframe for about $100. After this rebuild, I won't do it again, either. Rick |

https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1569690 Don't ask me how it works, the spektrum programming is cryptic to say the least. Most of this came from an old post by moparherb. All I know is that it works! |

Oh, and as always, best to remove prop or disable motor prior to messing with throttle mixes. |

I have flown over a lake, and landed it in the water on purpose, just to see if it could be done. I figured it a guy could land on water, a whole new vista of flying sites would open up. When I plucked it out of the lake, it made funny noises and the motor would not work. In the end it turned out that the ESC was wet, and after a few hours of drying out, it's as good as new. Before winter comes, my plan is to waterproof everything and try landing in the water again. It's not a float plane, but it floats. |

help in identifying correct prop
Hi everyone
I just bought a Radian Pro, and after reading some posts I see that they were sold with a defective prop in the early days.. my radian came with what appears as an open box, no manual, lots of dust on the parts, so I suspect it is rather old, and am concerned I have got the original bad prop. I have tried searching through the 700+ pages but i cant get a focused answer. Would anyone remember how I can tell if I have the bad or the good prop (before I fly it!)? or at least please tell me what the markings are on a "good " new prop?.. Thanks! |

My setup uses the 3 way switch for main control of flight modes. Each flight mode uses the throttle stick in a different way. Fly mode uses the throttle for the motor, the glide mode uses the throttle stick as reflex/camber control, and then in landing mode the throttle is flaps/crow. In all modes, I can use the trainer switch as a motor toggle, so I can instantly bail out if I find myself in a pickle. |

Regarding the prop I believe when you look at the numbers on the blades, it should read this: 9.75 x 7.5 _1 If your prop is missing the "_1" than I believe you have the old prop. When I 1st got mine there was an Airworthiness Directive out where HH would replace the prop for free. I'm not able to locate it on the HH web site. Hope I have it right for you....... Good luck with your maiden!! |
