G'day All,
I'm aware some will be having difficulties accessing other parts of the forum, I am working on a solution.
Some may have noticed out-of-control panes on the field that result from my efforts and struggles with 3d aerobatics. I got started with 3d after looking at some vids by Michael Wargo.
https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthre...hael-Wargo
Its true I have not made a lot of progress but its great fun.
However I have now found a website with tutorials that I think are much better if not fantastic.
http://www.wild-wings.co.uk/
Check out the hover (in UK English its called prophang)
http://www.wild-wings.co.uk/tutorial.php...=134232130
I have not yet seen all the tutorials but in them there is an emphasis on practice, including getting a foam shockie (UK for cheap profile plane), and using a simulator. The hover and rolling harrier are more complex than I had realised and may take many hours (in my case read years) of practice to perform as demonstrated on the wild-wings vid. Another point is that the standard aerobatic manoeuvres need to be performed very well as a prelude to undertaking 3d manoeuvres.
G’day Gents,
Due to the newly announced lockdown for Greater Sydney our flying field will be closed until it is lifted or alternative advice is provided.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi,
Has somebody setup the HeliCommand auto pilot before on a Helicopter. If you have the computer App to configure the HeliCommand, could I make a copy of the software. And where did you buy the cable to connect the HeliCommand to a computer during setup? I'm setting up a Trex 450 and Trex500 that I bought second hand that came with the HeloCommand but it did not come with the software and cables. I've downloaded the manual to set it up without the computer but it did not work. Some people in forums said that you need the software to properly setup the auto piot. Pictures of teh unit attached.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Carlou
Ok so I have a ]Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 3548- 1050kv The description says that the motor can run on 3s or 4s, its max load is 50A and its max power is 820 watts, HobbyKing also recommends a 70A ESC and props from 11 to 13 inches so I tried running on 4s using a 80A ESC and a 12x6 prop and the load was 100+Amps and 1500+ watts of power, of course the motor got hot really fast, using 3s with the same setup and the load was 70+Amps
Now I am running on 4s with a 10x5 prop and it is already reaching 57 Amps, my questions are:
does these numbers make sense? there is no way this motor is going to move a 12 inches prop without melting, why is my motor so out of specs? could it be my wattmeter, my ESC or the motor?
I don't know where to go from here, thank you for your help

We may be seeing the end of Opentx.
Check out this long thread
https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthre...-and-ETHOS
Its about the new Frsky Tandem tx, but it covers Frsky
issues and reports that Ethos is a replacement for Opentx in Frsky txs which will
not be offered (initially? never?) on the new Tandem. Many Frsky owners
are expressing concern about the end of opentx in Frsky gear (including me).
On the Aloft forum (Aloft is the leading US Frsky dealer), there has been a long-running thread complaining about Frsky competitors like Jumper. For 9 months the "humper and radiocopier" thread was dead, but now there is a full-on discussion of ethos, opentx and frsky. I suggest
start on post 151 on march 6.
https://forum.alofthobbies.com/index.php...379/page-8
It is looking like the end of opentx in frsky gear and the end of the ongoing support and new features that I have liked. Frsky will become a high end tx like Spectrum or Jeti.
Maybe it makes an opportunity for other tx manufacturers to take the lead in opentx txs, although it seems frsky have poached the main opentx engineers to work on ethos.

Hi guys.
My girlfriend has come with me to the field 3 times, I am teaching her how to fly, we always use the buddy box. She would like to keep learning but I don't know if at this point this would require a new membership now.
