I do live in the USA. My Cockpit I can either control the timer via the throttle stick or via the "spring switch". How do you control/program your second timer and how do you readi ts value?

Ville,
Thanks, that does help a lot. But unfortunatly not for the reason I had hoped. I have a different radio than you do. My Cockpit looks different (this is obviously a major redesign/update). Here is me holding my Cockpit. Sorry, kind of hard to see, it is the only photo of my transmitter I could find. Ryan |

I'm not sure that Cockpit SX is available here in the US (did some searches, originally I did not know they were different)....
Anyhow, it does look sweet. I bought my Cockpit as kind of a backup TX to my JR 783 (that I use to fly the Allegro) but have found that I sort of prefer it for my RES stuff. Ryan |

Hi Luis,
Quote:
As others have already mention, you are your own keeper. Sometimes a hard pill to swallow. I can tell you how Mikey and I handle our flights for all the competitions. 1. First we both fly a trim flight and warm up the batteries, if it is very cold, we may do several climbs. Shoot a few landings, with short motor runs, and put everything on charge. 2. Next, whoever is ready to go first, launches and the other times. From then on we just alternate flights until we both have three. 3. Landings, I do not have an upside down rule, I guess a don't understand how diving the plane from three up in the air so it sticks in the ground is better than landing upside down. (Yes I also fly sailplanes) It usually takes from the time we arrive until the last flight about 3 hours. In the summer we may stay longer and fly a few more times but only for fun. This competition is about challenging yourself to improve your flying, in the context of a competition. Your scores are just a way of judging your own level of improvement. Hope this has answered your questions. The Best Robert |

Sharing your routine helped in clarifying what are the expectations.

Simon,
This thread is dedicated to the February 17/18 postal. Here is the one dedicated to the March postal that occured 2 weeks ago: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=650393 Robert will create another thread for the April one, a week or so before it. He creates a new sticky thread for each postal. X5J is far from dead. I know I'll fly it next month (and did last month, the month before, and the month before,and...). Good luck with your efforts in the X5J postal. Ryan |
