Binding has nothing to do with the plane it's in. If you have a radio problem you're better off asking in a radio forum than a jet forum.
Also be aware that there are a LOT of fake AR8000 out there. Where did you get it?

This REALLY doesn't belong in this thread. Maybe the mods will move it to the "Electronics" forum.

I have The Freewing Vulcan 4S 70 mm sport jet and have been enjoying it since 8/3/2022. I now have 300 flights and I am noticing a loss of speed??? I fly on 1" manicured crab grass and right now it's growing fast and the 2" wheels make it tougher to get airborne.
However, I also notice a reduction of speed in the air. I have flown on 6 different batteries( 4S 4000 & 5000) and there doesn't seem to make a difference. I removed and cleaned the EDF assembly on my two jets and the other one, a Habu, flew much better. No change in the Vulcan and it was originally much faster than the Habu??
I'm wondering if it could be the Motor of ESC???
Any Suggestions?

My maiden report from Sept 2021. They are different planes and I have kept both an Avanti and Vulcan in my hanger since each were released. The Avanti is a little bit country and the Vulcan a little bit rock and roll to quote an old song.
Originally posted by Evan D View PostIt flies well. I up’ed all the throws and put the ailerons on the outer hole of the servo and @130%. Also had it balanced 5mm behind book. My ailerons were too touchy..
But it flew great and really wrung it out. Bad day with lots of wind and turbulence but it’s good. Also flew the Avanti so I could compare… the Avanti flies nicer… but not much. It is quite fast and surprisingly quiet. Timer was set for 5 but I landed early during a break in the wind and still had 60% on a 5000.

Hi,
assembled today freewings Vulcan.
I am using a Multiplex Cockpit SX12 with RX-7-DR M-link receiver.
The egine is running, however all my servo's are dead when hooked up to the inboard Flightline box.
When I connect the servos directly to the transmitter they work. With Y-cables I could bypass the blue box.
Have not done it yet.
I looked today at some assembling videos on youtube, but cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.
My first question would be: Is this receiver working with the Vulcan.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance,
John

Thanks for the advice. Completely forgot about the retract-to-receiver connector. After connecting it to my receiver all good.
However this makes me wonder...
Because all connectors, except the retract one, that go into the receiver are wired signal-only (no + and -), the retract connector is crucial for the power delivery to all servo's.
If during flight something goes wrong with this connector all servos will be dead.
Hence my concern.
Is not it better to bypass the blue box completely and connect the servos directly to the receiver?
Safety/redundancy wise spoken
Thanks for your time
Looking forward to taking this bird up in the sky
John
