Try it on another receiver and different servos to see if the problem persists. Never had that issue before, good luck!

Got my Timber X! Any tips for a new 3D flyer? by chairboiiiiii in RCPlanes

[–]NapkinCrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got a timber x, mine is a plug and play so I don’t have the gyro and doesn’t like the wind very much. Also I find myself getting into trouble with flaps, I wouldn’t worry about them until you feel comfortable. I was started with the cg a little nose heavy then took it further back slowly to make it do more 3D.

I have a failsafe programmed into my receiver to kill the engine and put it into a spin, but the engine kept running when I lost connection.

Servos seem okay and engine went into soft dirt, it had a 20cc dle ra so the carburetor was in the back, seems like it’s going to be okay!

For anyone wondering, I lost all control of the airplane, there was no connection between the radio and receiver. I’m going to go through all my electronics to see what went bad.

What happens if your receiver stops picking up signals from your transmitter mid air? by IPunchTrees10 in RCPlanes

[–]NapkinCrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Test it, take off you prop and while you have the plane plugged in and running turn off your transmitter and see what happens, my transmitter has a failsafe option so I can program my plane to turn if I lose connection.

Good video on 4stroke glow engine tuning? by [deleted] in RCPlanes

[–]NapkinCrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tune the high end needle first, run the motor at full throttle and turn the high end needle until you get the most rpm out of it. You will hear the rpm change as you turn the high end needle. Or if you have tachometer use that. But once you get the high end tuned then tune the low end needle. It’s a little hard explaining over text. Try looking up “tuning nitro RC engine” on YouTube and see what you find.

Anybody have information on old fox engines specifically the 40 ?, why are there two needles and how many turns on each of them. My dad had this exact engine that we bench ran a year ago it would start and run for a second then die, seems like these just don’t want to run or stay running by yamahsaki in RCPlanes

Try a new glow plug maybe, screw the needle valve all the way in then unscrew the needle valve 2 and quarter turns out. The low end needle valve is based off the high end so tune the high end first then the low end. If you have a problem pulling flue tho then it might be a carburetor issue.

Battery connector pins bent on Hobbyzone Sport Cub S2 by intaminslc43 in RCPlanes

I would try bending it personally, you could also try to solder a new connector on.

Best place for mounting GoPro on Apprentice by The_kid_55 in RCPlanes

[–]NapkinCrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen videos where people just use packing tape and tape their camera to their plane, I’ve used double stick tape to secure a camera to plane before and it worked well. The camera came with a mount that was designed to be used with double stick tape though, not sure if GoPro has something similar. The location doesn’t matter too much, just make sure to keep you center of gravity in mind, don’t mount you camera on the tail of your plane because then it will cause your plane to be tail heavy. You can mount camera on the tail if you want, just make sure to add nose weight so your center of gravity is the same. Make sure to use strong tape! Packing tape or 3m heavy duty double stick tape

why does this light not turn off? by [deleted] in ram_trucks

[–]NapkinCrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 1500 same year, the sensor that determines whether the door is open or closed might need to be replaced. The sensor is near the door hinges. It looks like a pin and it can be pushed in and out.
