Freewing su 35 rx set ups

[xviper]

Well all things went well from unloading to setup fpr take off, jet powered up shot down the runway slow lift off the runway , claimed well , put in more thrust , leaned it to the left it turned so nice and smooth got 3/4 through a complete turn and lost signal took off running towards the plane , it was balanced very well because of its slow flat spin down to the ground with gear still deployed , touch down broke off the whole front session, now im at a losse because i just flew my habu sts in the same pattern to warm up for the next flight i even put a fresh battery pack in transmitter so i could check that out of my mind . She was beautiful taking off and had plenty of power gaining altitude, then dead . No responce.
going to put that rx in a glider and fly it out
ALL spectrum gear

That's a bloody shame. So sorry to hear this.
You're using the AR630? I've never completely trusted those antenna-less Spektrums. I even have some doubts about those RXs with the tiny diversity antennas. They may work in some planes while in others, they seem to have issues with signal loss. It all depends on the location of the RX in the plane. Look at the proximity to things like power cables and carbon fiber things in your SU. Do you use the same RX in your Habu? If you put that same RX in a glider to test, you might want to pick a glider you're not particularly fond of. If a glider goes "dead", it might just float away.

So im just gonna load a f18 into the reciever because thats gonna have the same surfaces, and its fast , ill tx up the vectors and set up a kill switch for them , got batterys in today , so its all coming togather

[A10warthog]

I do agree 110% with that stament , stick time in real life , i know with my habu and my a10 both i started on the sim , it did make the transition to real life a bit less jittery , i had aleast an idea what the plane was going to do with the up stick off the ground and it gave me a look at throttle position also. I know old timers are like throw that in the air and figure it out then , but i just dont work like that , do all the home work get all the goox results

[xviper]

I haven't updated any my sims for years so I can't say if there is an SU-35 on any of them. All I can tell you is that none of the many sims I have used, are all that "real". Fly a plane on a sim, then fly it in real life, and the experience is almost always quite different. They are good for practice and developing muscle memory but you'll still need real life stick time to get the proper feel of a model plane.

Is there a flight simulator with the su 35 on it

[A10warthog]

I probaly not going to fly this agin on this dx8e im waiting on my nx8 to come in there back ordered

[A10warthog]

Sorry 3s 3200mah on top of a 6s 5000 either way something not right ill look agin tonight when i get home

[xviper]

I ordered that battery

That was a little drastic and quick, but I'm sure the battery will be useful in other planes. What does your current battery weigh? Maybe it's not the problem.
If you had to put an additional 4s battery in there to balance, that means you added about 400g, making the 6s battery you used around 400g+. I know of no 6s, 5000mah LiPo that weighs so little, not even a very low C one. Something else has to be going on that's creating the problem.

[A10warthog]

I knew something was wrong, ill have to dig in here see whats going on , thanks agin for your quick replys and help , your giving me confidence on this everytime

Racing muscle control helped that , when your 75 mph across the water theres alot that flying planes parallels, i see that there is a LE thats attached to fuselage and the LE that starts where the wing attaches , its measured from wing attached edge right?

No, I see it as the indent on the fuselage part. Not from where the wing meets the fuse. Look carefully at the picture in the manual. Nevertheless, if you're measuring from where the wing meets the fuse, then your CG is even further back than where it's supposed to be. It should NOT be tail heavy from back there.

Ok having issue qith CG , i have a 6s 5000mah 50 c battery in the plane at 150mm its very tail heavy, i stack a 4s 3200mah 30c on top of that to get it CG , now i may not know alot about aircraft rigjt now , but i am a rc car and boat guy so i do understand the legestics of CG with racing its all to the left , but air craft its balance and alittle nose weight, ( correct me if im wrong ) but back ro the stacked batteries for CG , there has to be something im missing

I'm using a Turnigy HD LiPo weighing in at 865g and it sits about 3/4" behind the front bulkhead and it balances at 150mm, just right without any added weight. If yours is tail heavy at that CG, something's not right. No wonder it stood on its tail when it left the ground. It should have looked like a roller coaster ride. I'm amazed you got it back down in one piece.

ok so i told you i was just going to taxie it around , i tried 4 times to get it off the runway thinkin alittel air and set it back down, turns out the 5th time with the adjustments i made , makes it travel a 100 yards in about 20 seconds , holy crap , it was up and gone in a flash, it made it to the end of our flying field headed to the trees , i nosed up stood it on its tail , it leaned to the right clipped the top of a evergreen tree flipped over and flat floated to the ground , got a ding in the right wing which we have fixed already , but it came home in one piece and now ready to go, got very lucky , i practice 5 times a day , it paid off on this flight ,

[A10warthog]

Yep i threw that crap away and just used forward program so much smoother , im getting ready to load the trailor qith my habu sts and this su 35 to go to the field , ill do some taxing around with the 35 , but i am going to bind the su 35 tx to the habu to see how the throws are before i turn them loose on the 35

[xviper]

I think that's why they went to "forward programming". They figured they've hosed enough customers for those cables and bluetooth dongles. I sat at the field one day watching some guy try to program his new plane with his new bluetooth thing. He never flew that day. Spent the whole day messing with it and eventually gave up and went home. I flew everything I had during that time.

[A10warthog]

I have the blue tooth and the pc , and they are all problematic in my opinion i usally dont have trouble. Sleep deprivation might have something to do with it , back to bed

[xviper]

For the 636, I found the cable to be problematic. You have to have the volume on the phone turned to max and even then, it didn’t always work. I later got the Bluetooth device and it worked a lot better. I’ve never tried with a PC.
