My heavily modified Freewing Tomcat entered into March Madness!

I think you should also begin a 'binge' watch of every NCIS episode and include all the associative variants. It's a process, right? Best, LB

[Aros]

Congrats Elbee! Now let me get the popcorn....

Best, LB

Woohoo! Congratulations!

Mine is delayed due to weather, but that’s understandable. It should arrive by Tuesday, although that’s an estimate.

The ARF+ came back in stock yesterday with 6 available, and now there’s two left. I know some people have been waiting for the ARF+ F-14, so at least there’s a chance to get it now.

You cannot create a mix if you just don't have enough channels available. The best solution would be to upgrade your transmitter that has more channels.

DX9 for me, quote ?

I hate talking on a microphone When I do Dual aileron Dual elevators I have my gear on channel 5 when I do Dual Aileron with flaps And dual Elevators I lose my dear channel when I go to assign the channel the gear is that in the selection

[davjamhan]

When I do to aileron and dual elevators I have my dear channel back on 5 when I add ailerons with lapse that's when I lose my channel 5 for gear and it doesn't give me the option to assign it back to gear thanks for all your help guys and girls

He has a DX9. It's got plenty of channels to do what he wants to do. He's already said he's been able to do what he wants. His problem is that now, his retracts don't work. He's also stated that he has not done something with mixes on the gear channel. Something else is going on. It's nothing to do with not having enough channels.

Most of the time channel 5 is the gear channel and if you are using it for a mix you will not be able to assign a channel.

Channel 5 is the default channel for gear and switch A is the default switch for it (unless you changed it) - what does channel assign say? They should work (with a small delay). You didn't unplug the retracts and plugged them back in with wrong polarity? What does your monitor tell you when you flip the switch (switch A).

[davjamhan]

That will not work with flaps too....Thanks

[RRHandy]

Give this a try. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vGQJqxNjcE

[davjamhan]

No just have in the gear port and the the mixes dont use channel 5

Hey everyone, my F- 14 is still on the bench. I want the ailerons disable when the wings are swept in. I plugged the ailerons and elevator direct into the receiver. And with a few mixes I have it, but now my retracts don't work and there is NO channel assignment for the retracts. I have a DX 9 with a admiral 10 channel.....any help

Thank you, LB. I’m glad to contribute. Many people have been great contributors over the years, so it’s nice to help give back.

TC, Nicely done, Sir. Best, LB
