Freewing Mirage 2000C V2 “Tiger Meet” 80mm EDF - Official Thread

[derrickt]

Greetings everyone,

What is the largest admiral pack that can fit inside the mirage? I have plenty of 6000mah packs.

Have you looked at this thread:

Particularly the stuff from flightengr, which makes re-purposing the 636 fairly easy?

(However, my solution to similar problems is the HobbyEagle A3 Pro).

(However, my solution to similar problems is the HobbyEagle A3 Pro). That's where I am leaning.
I do have 2 more options I wanna try. Setup an open stock profiles on the Rx (without SAFE) allowing me to disable heading hold. Setup the gains as needed and bind the receiver in AS3x only mode.
I will try it tonight. The open Stock profile allows me to select Elevon configuration and also instructs to keep the TX in normal mode. I hope the I can flash and update this profile to AR636B. Assuming the Sepktrum app allows me to do that on AR636B.
I am familiar with the rc group discussion thread. I consulted that when I installed an apprentice safe select receiver in a Cessna TTX and I figures it our without a programming chord and it worked well.
It's hard to find specifics for AR636B. I am sure there are different flavors that Spectrum flashes them with and we don't even know how to identify those subtle differences. All the hidden layers.

Hi Community,
I just got done with the setup on my Brand New Mirage 2000, it looks so much fun.(Tiger Eyes).
I am trying to repurpose a Spektrum AR636B from an eflite Viper. I was able to get the controls and Gyro directions all working right.

Hi Community,
I just got done with the setup on my Brand New Mirage 2000, it looks so much fun.(Tiger Eyes).
I am trying to repurpose a Spektrum AR636B from an eflite Viper. I was able to get the controls and Gyro directions all working right.
As I cannot change the wing type on a BNF AR636B RX. I cheated and flashed the Rx with the Eflite 2m Opterra file to get to elevon settings.
I was able to get all the corrections working as they should by adjusting the reverse and port assignment settings in the Rx through the Bluetooth dongle and the As3x app.
RX Setup :
Wing type elevon with rudder, Opterra Setup file.
Bound in safe mode
Switch - AUX2
Priority 160 across
Heading hold - Defaulting to 28 %on pitch and roll and 0% on Yaw (Maybe because opterra wing has no rudder )
TX NX10 - aircraft type Dual Aileron, Normal Tail.
Flight Mode (FM) through Telemetry Menu, AS3X activated on switch B Aux2 .

I am having trouble with the Flight modes. I can change the gain for pitch, roll and yaw through the app. My TX (NX10) also reflects the changes. But even with all the gains at 0% through the as3x App, I still get roll and pitch correction. Maybe because I cannot change the heading hold. It remains fixed at 28 %
I have yaw at 5% on 0% gain on different flight mode and that seems to work, No yaw correction at 0%, yaw correction at 5%. Maybe because I cannot change the heading hold in Deactivated for rudder on opterra. It remains fixed at 28 % for roll and pitch.


Is there a way to setup the 3 flight modes so I can have the following:
FM1 - Gains 0 % (Regular Rx, no gyro correction) Gyro/As3x OFF
FM2- Nominal Gyro correction (roughly 20%) for maiden and tune up flights
FM3- Nominal Gyro correction more pitch correction
Also I can go into the NX10 telemetry and activate AS3X and assign the left trim tab to remote gain. How do I set it up on the different flight modes and be able to remotely control the gain.

Do I need heading hold and priority programmed if all I need is a basic gyro.

I have spent 2 night fighting with this. I am half way tempted to toss the Ar636B and setup a Rx without a gyro , hook up a hobby eagle Gyro and put the gain and mode on a rocker knob and a switch and call it good. But it will be nice to be done with the As3x Programming nightmare for good.

Thanks.
And my apologies if this should have been in a Spektrum/Ar636B Thread.

got my ar630 at 20 20 20 and safe gains at 20 20 20 plus have i thank what rcgeek has on his i have about the same throws on as his will be flying it sometime

About Freewing Mirage 2000C V2 “Tiger Meet” 80mm EDF - Official Thread just bought this semi new but have flown f22 l39 and f86 and f18 64mm and f16 70mm twin otter among others what throws do u recommend for 1st flight got them set by the book

running zeepower 6s 4000 Admiral RX700T

in front hobby eagle a3 super 3 with one of the rx Antenna towards back of plane and one to the right stinking out of canapy have have 50% gains what do u recommend for gains for the gyro

I won't comment on your spell checking but .......................................... 50% rate gain is way too much for a fast jet. If you can, put the gain on the rotary so you can adjust while flying. Start with the rotary at zero and gradually move up when flying fast. As soon as it begins to oscillate, back it off. You'll like find that gain should be around 30% to 35% for a plane like this. Remember, master gain is a percentage (from 0 to 100) of the gain set on the pot. IE, if the pot is set at 50%, then at 50% of the rotary travel, the gain is actually 50% of 50% or 25%.

Hi Afterburner

Yes it does! as long as the grass is not to high and cut short.

Does the Mirage do well on grass fields?

Hi All This is What i did to my Mirage 2000.

3D printed detailed exhaust and Center burner,With t5he 3D printed canopy parts

Check it out.

Did fly this Mirage more. Nice plane with good performance and incredible good in hige alpha. Almost as good as the Gripen ;-)

Snowfloats for the win! Good idea and great that it worked, I think your winter just got a little bit better.

It did! Not sure what the rest of winter will bring but the next week, it's supposed to get warmer (+7C). Too much snow to melt, though. I have 5 "float" planes. Tried skis once but didn't work out so well.

Sweet! Nice cockpit! What did you use to get that heated metal nozzle look?

Actually it was all hand painted with acrylics

[xviper]

Congratulations xviper! Are you happy with the results?

Yes, I am. A "winter" jet needs lots of power and this one certainly has that.

Nice! The floats make it look like a fast duck coming in for a landing!

Make that a Canada Goose.
