Yancy Smith yea. It does 95 as a top speed. Pretty good for a cruiser. This is a location right in the middle of Tucson. We call it the quarry. Some guy owns it,...no digging activity for years. It’s next to a big landfill. Put the GPS coordinates in google maps,...we fly that whole entire area!!

Derrick Mitchell thanks.

This was the Taranis X9D Radio with the TBS CrossFire Micro TX and RX.

miahndes Thanks for the response. This wing is painted. Coat of 3M90 spray adhesive, plastidip base, spray paint of your choosing. Try to get a paint with high plastic content. Krylon or Rustoleum 2X

@@badandy122376 thanks, that's awesome!!

DrFrantic77 thanks!!

No retracts, just the stock gear. Didn't have it long enough to install retracts. lol

badandy122376 Despite being a discontinued model, is one of my favorites and I have worked hard to find one of these here in Brazil! That's why I look for the ideal retracts for him !!! PS: Thanks for answering my question!

I had an idea I was close,...but yea thatt footage was shocking.

mike stevens ImmersionRC Antenna Tracker. I started reading through the open source stuff and my head exploded. May revisit it at a later date.

badandy122376 Hahaha exploding head is bad! Mmmmkay!!

Yancy Smith Thanks Yancy. Hows things out your way??

THANKS. This method works exceptionally on molded foams. Cut foams,....not so much.

dmercØØ RTP I pasted the entire CLI dump. Ignore the mc entries as this is set up as a fw. Thanks for your observation.

mike stevens About 8hrs away. Lol

ButteredButter Yes. I actually installed the Shea Ivy diversity unit,....and it’s awesome. It’s been a while since I’ve done it. Pretty straight forward.

Is there any videos you have about the diversity mod

NO. It's pretty straight forward. Just need power and a mounting area.

got any pics

mike stevens you’ll love it. It flies even better after another autotune session. It handles the wind fine but it’s in a class all its own on calm days!!!

And the mini drak's speeds are unreal

THANKS BANDIT,....

Thumper C Thanks for the sub. I’ll post the CLI dump in a sec.

I added PIFFs to the description. Lower P will have a sluugish feel. The idea is to have the P relatively low and FF is doing the heavy lifting. These settings, I have some high rates. Also check the WIKI for FW things that should be considered and set before maiden.

Awesome thanks. I have maidened my MD a few times and if you look I got a good a flight out of it. Just looking at what others TIFF's where

Joanne Lowery - Yes I did. Much better control and stable flight. Thanks for watching!!

darooltra sorry to hear that. Make sure your connectionscare properly made. Also it may be the DVR unit. It’s cheaply made and could be faulty. Hope this helps...

John M Hartlove Have’nt noticed it on my install. The DVR does chop some of the screen to get the correct rario PAL vs. NTSC. Could be simething to do with that or the unit is faulty. You never can tell with these cheap electronics.

meteors63 I use my mini HDMI for my external GS and AAT input. Works flawlessly.

stonecoldjeep yes, a ground is a ground doesn't matter where it is.

Dallas B711 right on. Glad the video helped. I also installed a diversity module designed by Shea Ivy (Laforge). I can upload that too....

Please upload your diversity mod!!! I would really like to do it to mine, but don't know where to start. I feel like it shouldn't be too hard to use something like this, but I can't exactly figure it out: www.banggood.com/Realacc-RX5808-Open-Source-5_8G-40CH-Split-Receiver-with-OLED-Special-for-Fatshark-Goggles-p-1068207.html?rmmds=search Any advice would be appreciated!

badandy122376 Yes. Please do an upload on adding diversity. I don't see any other videos on YT that shows this. And I'm sure your upload of a HeadPlay diversity mod will be just as good, and maybe better than this one. Thanks

Nope. Huachuca Mountains in Sierra Vista AZ. Funny how they look similar

Sure. You can still use your AV2 for ground stations. I would simply not solder the VOUT wire the the AV2 pad. The only downside is that you won't be able to playback the video using the HMDVR. Or you wont be able to configure it. Since you only configure it once that shouldnt be a problem. If you dont plan on flying with the ground station then you should be fine with this setup. You could always add another video output to both of these connections as well. I can upload a diagram if you like.

After some thoight here's a few ways to skin this cat. AV2 from the factory does not display anything (some units have this on AV1). There is nothing hooked up to the socket on the board. Flying via ground station with no Video RX: Splice a female RCA (or whatever cable hooks to your ground station video) from the SAME AV spot that you have for VIN on the headplays. In this example it will be AV1. This allows the same video signal coming in to be split 3 ways. Headplay LCD, HMDVR, Groundstation LCD. Again if u font plan on flying using the groundstation the mod as described in the video. Hope this helps.

MrBlackbrabus1 sorry for the delay. As it turns out on the headplays AV2 wasnt hooked up in my case. So u can use it for whatever you like. Maybe wire in a pigtail and use it for ur groundstation.

Done!!!

+badandy122376 I've already Done the mod chap....works really well

Glad you like it. I will be doing a diversity mod soon.

Thanks Bruce. Gonna try to get part 2 up really soon.

Thanks for the comments. The FT models are good models. They arent the best in winds above 7mph. So keep that in mind. I like the Spitfire the best followed by the Mustang. I noticed a major improvement in stabilization when I used hobby lobby foam board for the tail feathers and spars. When coloring the foam put the plane together first. Then use the oil based minwax to prior to coloring. The water in the paint or markers will cause the paper to seperate from the foam. There's plenty of vids on this. The retracts were from a fiberglass quad i had wrecked some time ago. I'll do a build video soon. But yes they are basically glued and screwed in. You can find them on ebay for $11 a piece. Make sure they are the metal trunion type. They will hold up a lot better. Again I will post a build vid of the retracts by the end of the week. They are tough. Believe me.

+badandy122376 And yes. Im sure you can fabricate a way to hold a larger plane. The idea is to attach them to more than the foam skin. Incorporate a spar or structural support in the design.

Thanks as always. I got that music from the youtube library.

Yea. Liking it more than the quads. All flitetest planes.
