What did you fly today?

HSDJET T-33
Just put together my HSD T-33. After completing all connections and hookups, I turned the model on to find everything works fine and is operable. But the ESC continues to just beep. I checked the throttle connection and found nothing. I looked under the MC2085 board to find the lead wire from ESC was in AUX5-2 which is wrong, I changed it to AUX6 for throttle. It continues to only beep. What am I doing wrong? I did a factory reset and still, it only beeps. HELP?

RM, Not certain many can assist you with your binding issue here at the Squawk. I'd check the HSD website, (See Link Above) and look for a "Support" page. You might try starting a forum page here and see if that helps. Good luck, Sir. Best, LB

F4U Ausie,
Being able to hold altitude bang on, first time at the controls is truly impressive! Congrats on checking off another item on the bucket list. Too much fun!

I would not be content to do it once and reminisce. And renting full scale planes on a regular basis is out of my paygrade So I settle for the next best thing. Flying from my model cockpits using head-tracking FPV, visually any way. I set up my planes really simple, no flight controller, no gyro even. Just install a FPV camera with pan & tilt and hook up to corresponding channels setup for head-tracker in transmitter and go fly. Lots of fun! Here's one practicing precision aerobatics from the cockpit. Enjoy!

Goina bore with it just once more.. what did i fly today.... well it wasnt a cessna,, it was a socata tb 10.. bucket list stuff, me anyway.. we took off from lilydale and flew 4 about almost 2 hours.. out over port phillip bay.. here is the best bit,, half hour aftter take off he said control is yours.. just the control columb.,,, elev and aileron.. my task was keep it at 2500 feet ,, about 500 feet under cloud cover,, and at 100 knots he is vfr only.. and then i got to do a 180 to head home all of that was not as hard as i thought.... but loootts of fuuunn:partying_face: when i did the 180 i kept the height bang on 2500.. he was suitably impresse not great pic cya

This Missing Gulfstream Landing Video: Full video not yet on YouTube or the BH Website, but's it's nice.

Great landing video, thanks for shooting and sharing! Kudos to Marv for that landing managing throttle and elevator perfectly after touch down to hold a nose high wheelie on GRASS. What a beautiful Gulfstream!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did a quick head-tracking FPV conversion on another EDF jet - happen to be also a Xfly - the Sirius. Unfortunately, the canopy was not clear enough to see through for flying so left it off. But otherwise it's super stable as an FPV platform. No FC or gyro needed. I did mod the nozzle size down to get more speed and efficiency. Stock nozzle size was way too big. Enjoy!

Check six for bandits!




Climb high for second sunset!

Nice vid as always hugh... viper its been 30 c here u talkin farenheight.. ? Still too cold ... we get zero in winter ,,, colder than that i would die.. :exploding_head::ghost:

We do Celcius here and when I looked at your weather yesterday, it was 18C at 3am. We were -18C here a few days ago at 3am. A couple weeks ago, we were -32C, while you are currently having +30C. That's why I said you and I are having the same numerical temperatures, except that we've got a minus (-) in front of ours. We are absolutely balmy hovering around 0C but some snow is coming in about an hr. Nevertheless, going flying tomorrow morning.

Finally Got the Beast video done. This is just an awesome flying aircraft. Haven't flown it in a long time, but gotta get it out more. Been spending a lot of time with the EDF's, but an occasional Beast sighting is well worth it!

Read hughs first post first ,,, then saw banana logo ... thanxviper... hope ya havin fun with the private jet:b787:

Thanks. "Fun" for now, is just sorting out all the pieces sitting on the table. We've had temps with the same numbers as you lately, but we're in the negative.

I'm so far out of who's who these days, never even heard of bitgo, all I can say is that's the aircraft Banana Hobby is selling. Try to stay out of RC politics, just plug a battery it and go flying. More concerned with getting back on the ground in one piece.

Hugh is that the x fly gulfstream?. And i think bh is bitgo

The logo on the video is Banana. Marvin is the Banana rep. Bitgo has had no representation on the X-Fly Bizjet so far on the usual forums.

A few Photos of the "Magnificent Beastie" I got Marvin to take when we weren't flying the Gulfstream. I'll get the video done maybe tomorrow. Would love to get equipment like Marvin has but blew my photography budget years ago on 8 different Nikon/Nikonos underwater cameras, 20 different lens's, housings, 8 UW strobes and print enlarging equipment, all unfortunately for FILM and never went to digital. Almost impossible to even get film these days. Had some of my stuff published in Skin Diver and even have about 60 wildlife photos somewhere in the Library of Congress. But that's another life. And Alpha keeps coming up with aircraft I have to get and would much rather "fly than fotograph".
