  • The pile of foam that was Tim's FMS Beaver flies again, as does Ron's crunched-up Kyosho Calmato. Also this week, two very special guests from Australia and we have fun with the Eachine mini-Mustang.

    OMG! We're now legit Celebs!! Appearance on XJet Channel 😍😍😍 Thank you again for spending so much time with us, it was very much appreciated. For anyone reading this comment Bruce spent from 9:30am through to 3:30pm with us. I still can't believe we had so much to talk about. We'll be back!

    Should be easy to modify the transmitter to Mode 1 by swapping the stick over and soldering some pot wires over. Even easier if there are connectors on the pots.

    • @xjet
      @xjet  Před 4 lety +3

      On these cheap transmitters the stick units are soldered to the PCB which means a lot of faffing about. Also, unless you have a way to recalibrate the transmitter after the swap you can end up with issues.

    Pretty amazing that the Beaver was put together. Hopefully it can be trimmed well and fly better than this re-maiden.
    I have that Mini Mustang as well, and it's a fun plane. The original design is from Volantex, they also have a nice Sports Cub in about the same size, flies very well for it's size. You can even take off and land from the road, if it's smooth enough.

    i really love the echine/rage/volwhatever the other name is planes, the bangood ones seem to come with 2 or 3 batteries while the rage seem to come with only 1 battery. For the price of them I couldn't believe how well they fly, and the gyro when setup really saves your ass if you don't know how to really fly yet or your just not smart enough to not fly on windy days.

    A Fixed Beaver is better than one that is not, Who cares what it looks like, as long as it works. An Ugly Beaver is sometimes a good Beaver. Well done to the Surgeon for the Fix...
    Oh, the Beaver flies like a Beaver should fly.

  • @jasonhurdlow6607
    @jasonhurdlow6607 Před 3 lety

    That Mustang looks very close to the ParkZone Mustang I have. Don't fly it anymore though as it's just taken too much beating now and doesn't fly right. So much fun when it did though, so long as there wasn't any wind to speak of (it doesn't have stabilization like this one does).

    Makita was manufacturing a 4-stroke ethanol engine in Brazil for brushcutters. The engine has 1 hp and is very light and economical. And I always think, it would be very interesting to put on an RC plane. These engines are very resistant, they have been working since 2013 without problems.

    For a tiny plane, the mustang flew well. I wanted to see more people having a turn at throwing it, as I noticed a pattern. 1st throw hits the ground, 2nd throw prop flys off, 3rd time is charmed.

    FAA NPRM FAA-2019-1100 reaction with tracking number: 1k4-9f6k-e6iq
    In 2005 the first quadcopter was designed by hobbyists. We have made the source code publicly available for all citizens. Our remote planes became more stable and safer than ever before. Big corporations used our open source software to commercialise the industry. Since the first requirements I have stopped flying to focus on my astronomy hobby. This Astronomy hobby is also destroyed by big corporations that send thousands of satellites into the sky for wireless internet services. Beautiful pictures are now destroyed by ugly satellite noise. It is clear to me now that the whole regulation has nothing to do with the safety of people. There is not a single accident that would require the need for these regulations on our hobby. Heavy Amazon delivery drones will cause ugly accidents that are bound to happen because of the commercial volume and weight.
    I thought that the 250 gram paper rc plane would not have to carry a remote id beacon but that is not what the big corporations want according to the ARC final report UAS ID September 30, 2017. Corporations want to be sure that every little plane or quad has this unreasonable burden on board so that they can use the sky for their own greedy purposes. Robbing us from this hobby is a little like stealing the land from the indigenous Indians from America. Indians were kind enough to share their land with visitors. Now, big corporations like Amazon plan to steal these ideas from hobbyists. The hobbyist is left with an empty bag.
    Some fathers motivate their children to develop an interest in engineering by building remote control planes. Neil Armstrong wrote in a letter to John Worth from AMA: “My model building and flying activities significantly contributed to my interest in aeronautics and was a primary force in directing my education toward aeronautical engineering.”
    With a 5 dollar foam board the whole plane needs a 15 dollar battery and a 5 dollar electric motor. The remote control receiver is worth 30 dollar. So with remote-id, children have to buy a 1000 dollar beacon and subscribe to a 40 dollar per month wireless service to make it legal? Retired veterans who have flown for more than 30 years are now bullied out of their hobby. Their old radio equipment is no longer enough to keep the hobby available.
    The official FAA tag on every plane is enough to verify our safety procedures. Commercial drones will need a remote id because commercial drones are heavy and dangerous. Please, consider and support the interests of American citizens in this situation.
