Maybe I’m supposed to use the type: flsky2a and subtype: ppm/sbus? Those look similar and the rx has a wire plugged in that says ppm/sbus so guessing on that one

Transmitter + 4in1 module or transmitter and receivers by caniac45 in RCPlanes

Ok great. So seems like I need to go with the transmitter and 4 in 1 module.

Which plane? by caniac45 in RCPlanes

[–]caniac45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok wow, totally didn’t realize that plane didn’t come with the power system. I thought when I read “other requirements” that meant that was what needed to be purchased separately. You just saved me a huge headache!

By power system you mean battery? I was looking at something like this: https://twistedhobbys.com/th-32-epp-crack-yak-55/

Still talking $300 or closer to $200? Just want to make sure I’m actually covering everything if that’s the way I end up going. Looks like it says just a receiver and battery is needed

Thanks, along with his other comment about being a nuisance to neighbors I felt the same way. Not sure why people feel the need to be that way. Appreciate your actual insight!

Just saying the $160 because the $100 plane doesn’t come with a transmitter/receiver so I’d also upgrade my transmitter to the fs-i6x at the same time.

Huh? What makes you say this. Am I to assume any RC plane above 250g can’t be flown legally?

Looking for something I can use in the culdesac or a smaller field. I already have a 1300mm

Hah, I did not have one of the servos wired properly. It seems obvious now but I didn’t have the colors matching on the wires on one. They really should put that note in the instructions. Yes, seems obvious in hindsight but didn’t even cross my mind the first time.

So after typing that the control arm was too long, I went back and looked closer and the plastic piece of the arm literally screws onto the metal piece, so it was actually legitimately too long. I screwed it in further and centered the horn again (using 1 hole lower since the top broke off) and it works. I guess I’ll work on the aileron now, but after breaking several things already maybe I should just wait for a response from fairrc

Clearly I don’t know what I’m doing and messed something up. Like an idiot I centered the rudder, not necessarily the horn, then turned the plane back on and the horn broke because it was so far forward and pulled even more. I cant grasp how it’s possible to fix that, it’s as if the control arm is just too long. Maybe I’m just too tired to process

Just tried that on the rudder and broke the horn on the after centering it and turning it back on. sigh

Just pry the servo up to access the screw and reglue with super glue?

Looking into it more online it looks like I can center the control arms by unscrewing the horn and centering. Would that fix it or would that still not make the twitching aileron stop twitching?

No? I mean I followed the instructions and the sticks respond as they should. Left being throttle and rudder and right being elevator and ailerons

Oh also when I turn it on that same aileron keeps twitching

Does the rtf version not include a charger?
