You are welcome!

Safety has little to do with fixed wing hobby models. But we got lumped in with camera equipped drones.

Thanks for the tip

You are welcome!

Glad I could help

Thanks for the reply!

As there is no way I can find to reset the receiver to turn on Forward Programming access I can't figure it out either. Anybody have any ideas?

@@GoofballFlyer Thank you sir.

Thanks!

You're welcome!

Maybe, but no issues yet on any of my 10 models with reverse enabled.

Correct. UMX models have their own system for setting up Safe/AS3X. On mine, all relatively new, there is no way I can find to turn gyros off.

Glad to help

You are being mis-informed. Mine has been in the car for almost 50,000 miles. I have used it twice and had no issues with it being in there. The hybrid's spare tire trunk well is IDENTICAL to the non-hybrid Accord. But the standard Honda spare does no work with the Hybrid Touring wheels, thus the aftermarket solution from Amazon.

Yep, I put it on the site as a result of a subscriber's phone call.

Did you have a crash? I would work some medium CA into the cracks if it was mine.

Thanks for the reply, glad they work for you.

Spoilers kill lift and increase speed. I tried both, both work, but I'm personally more comfortable with flaps and a little down elevator to keep speed up.

The motor is out of an E-Flite Cessna 150. It's a BL50 Brushless Outrunner 525Kv. The prop is a 15x7. You need a minimum 60 amp ESC. Servos are standard size HiTech. I went with the HS-645MG High Torque Metal Gear Servo but other options would work as well.

I actually discovered this on another guy's video.

Glad I could help

👍😁

Flaperons are not the issue. I have those setup and orientation works. Aileron settings have nothing to do with receiver orientation. The NX model should not matter. I actually learned how to do all this on the NX8 by watching videos that are based on the IX transmitters. I just finished a video explaining a few more steps you may need to to after a factory reset and will put that on the channel tomorrow. I use my Conscendo with its AT637TA in this video. Orientation setting is part of the process shown. Flaperons are working on mine. Try this: Power up the transmitter and model and go to Forward Programming > Gyro Settings > System Setup > Orientation If you can get to that point you can set orientation with the "level/nose down" method or set it manually. The Conscendo manual setting #3. That's upside down and ports facing aft. Upside down because receiver access is on the bottom of the aircraft and that let's you see the bind button and the receiver orange LED. Please let me know if that works or not. I would hate to be without my Conscendo, I feel your pain!

@@GoofballFlyer I tried the step you outlined above, but when I click Gyro Settings I get the "First Time Setup" screen, same as yesterday, no other options. Will look for your next video, thanks!

It got better with models I purchased since. Had a canopy come off and a hatch, found both. Then there was the Timber Evo that managed to lose the motor, prop and cowling. Did not find those.

I'm not a great pilot. Full stall works better than wheel landings regardless of wheel choice.

Yep

The TA is identical to the T except for the T's altimeter. You don't convert TA to T, but load the unlocked T firmware on the TA. I've done this with at least 5 TA receivers to unlocked T version to open up Forward Programming options. One of those was the Conscendo TA. If it's not working you are not doing it right. If Safe is not working you probably have used the Safe channel or switch for setting up flaperons. Or maybe it's something else? I have both Safe and flaperons working fine. On my 3 meter Fox I have SAFE working with it's flaps and crow on the AR637T receiver. That also takes separate aileron cables and receiver ports.

@@GoofballFlyer Thanks for the reply! I'm aware that the T and TA are the same other than the altimeter but what stopped me was the inability to do what you indicate by installing the T firmware. You'd done that before so you skipped it in the video. When logged in to MySpectrum account and using the programming software I cannot see any other model files, only what I have registered which is only my TA, not the T. There's nothing I can do to find a list of all their receivers to get it. It's likely I'm doing something wrong since you have now confirmed that you somehow installed T firmware on your TA, but is that because you also own a T so the software let's you have access to it?

You tell the software to update your firmware. It's the Software Update link on the upper left. Even if the receiver has the current version that works. The T and TA firmware is identical, no problem there either. The update should take about 30 seconds. If the Spektrum Programmer sees your receiver that's all you need. Just don't click the Power Cable box if you have a battery connected to the receiver via an ESC. You can blow up a USB port on your computer if you don't follow those instructions. If it would help I can make a detailed video of the process. I have a spare TA I can totally unlock.

​@@GoofballFlyer, please do, that would be so aaesome and helpful!!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

I know that syndrome all too well.

Thanks! I taught school for quite a few years. Love to share knowledge.

Great to hear! Pun intended!

Can't help you. I have no experience with the Spektrum RID solution. Maybe someone else will chime in. This might help too czcams.com/video/sHjQTwqRtHA/video.html

@GoofballFlyer No problem, I appreciate the link, and your getting back to me. Thank you

I wound up getting the SWS Timber replacement wheels kit from Horizon. The DuBro 4.5" treaded wheel is SKU: 450TL priced at $22.95 per wheel. The equivalent Horizon wheels are DuBro and $16.99 for the set, but on backorder. Likely that way because Super Timber owners are flocking to them. Horizon part number is EFL71769. There are other DuBro 4.5" wheels that are much less expensive. Go to www.dubro.com/

@@GoofballFlyer What is the axle diameter required for the SWS wheels?

@@john3011-y6j I measured it at 2 mm

Yep, love my sailplanes. No landing gear and look great in the air. Got into some good thermal action yesterday and flew for 15 minutes without touching the throttle. Great fun for the cost of a battery charge!

But I love that battery tray.

Glad to help

@@GoofballFlyer I did find that short screw on the tail assembly, thanks!

Match a drill bit to the new axles

@@GoofballFlyer oh yeah so stick one in the old tire hub.

Very welcome

I bought from a Honda dealer the foam cover for the 2022 non-hybrid Accord. I had to modify it a bit to fit all the hardware that came with the spare tire kit I bought, but it works fine.

Hi. Right, tricycle gear landings are less prone to bounce simply because the CG is ahead of the mains, not behind. However, you can bounce a C150 and it's not that had to do. A bounced 150 landing can easily result in a broken nosewheel and the safe thing is to power up and go around. I know, that 150 has a replacement nosewheel. The intent was to show I can do a smooth landing with no bounce. I do not have video of my many Timber EVO wheel landings, but they mostly looked just like the 150. Smooth as silk.

I got the 4.5" but both do the job.

I'll try that again. However, I have seen other videos with the same issue. See this expert pilot at czcams.com/video/jc6R5YgYMew/video.html at the 2 minutes point. I normally do wheel landings.

@@GoofballFlyer czcams.com/video/0oF9kWF7wGY/video.html

Jon is hardly an expert but the compliment is much appreciated. AS3X isn't causing bouncing. Wheel landing this plane takes a ton of finesse, it's definitely tricky. There's plenty of elevator authority to three point it every time though.

@@TwoBrosRC I've started doing 3-point too. That also takes finesse. Just ask the poor J3 I learned in so many years ago for my first tailwheel endorsement.

@@TwoBrosRC At least when using Jon's usual (insane) control throws 😂. Who am I, to argue with you, what kind of a pilot Jon is.... there are plenty of videos demonstrating his landing skills and they are definitely even beyond superb. So, if he says he couldn't get it not to bounce except for 3-wheelers, I trust that it is not a matter of skill level. 😉It certainly might be the "nature of the beast" as these air tires are bouncing balls and there is no dampening. Still, if you do have the right speed and no wind to grease the Timber in on its mains only - why would it have to bounce (unless there are some nasty bumps on the runway)? Having this said and despite my big respect for your channel (one of my absolute favorites) I still disagree with you that AS3X couldn't be the culprit for a plane to bounce on landings. Ultimately AS3X is mitigating environmental impact and it can only sense the change of the orientation in space using the gyro and then compare it to the stick movements to judge if the change was intended or not. If the bouncing is causing a dramatic change in the pitch angle all of a sudden, it will try to compensate using elevator. I actually have observed this with my little Habu SS 50mm that I initially had a very hard time to land without bouncing. When it did, it was sometimes throwing up the nose in the sky and every subsequent bounce was getting harder and harder... It was almost looking cartoony style, as an invisible force seemed to slam it harder into the ground after every bounce. Sadly, I could never try it with Gyro off, as I lost one of my landing gears and these are out of stock since almost a year meanwhile (in Germany) 🙄. Admittedly, the little Habu rocks even more w/o landing gear (and on 4S). Anyway, long story short: even though I have way less experience than you guys, I still think it wouldn't hurt to give it a try turning off gyro completely, to see if it does have an impact. As Jon loves Timbers (and possibly flies the new Timber off camera as well) he maybe want to try it out and share his findings?! 😋

You are going to love it. Have you seen this review? czcams.com/video/jc6R5YgYMew/video.html

It is an amazing plane. The best I ever bought, and I have jets. All I want to do is fly this thing. It's so much fun.

About 4-5 high energy minutes on a 3200 6s, 5-6 on a 4000. Thanks for watching!

Let me know how that goes.

Glad it was helpful!

I loved building and flying my Midstar 40. I wish it was still available, I'd buy one. Love the electric 4 Star 64 to. It was also fun to build, but a lot less time involved.

@@GoofballFlyer I have plans sheet to midstar and canopy thinking about building that this winter I scratched built a Rcm funster 40 last winter.

I love the Conscendo and on my 4th. It's lasted the longest, going on 2 years. I fly it every chance I get. Two years ago I gave Volantex a go, very disappointing. I hope you have better luck!

Thanks, you too!
