So, upon further investigation, the ESC for my f16 is programmed at the factory and shipped with the reverse thrust off. They don’t make a programmer for this reverse thrust ESC so I’ll have to attempt it with the radio. I get some may not need it but then in those cases, just leave the reverse lead unplugged. If it were easy…..
Thanks for the help for this noob, everyone.

Or if U goina run off grass u don't need reverse mine stopps nicely. With out itLeave a comment:

At least now, someone with Radiomaster knowledge can come along and look at those details and possibly see where a fault might be. I'm a Spektrum guy and those points are the things I can think of to check but how these points need to be analyzed are likely different for your radio than for Spektrum. My only other thought on this topic has to do with the ESC. It is possible that in the ESC programming parameters, the reverse brake attributes was not set from the factory and you must go into it and define the reverse in that step.
I had a similar issue years ago but it was with a twin ESC and Spektrum. Reverse only worked once just like in your case but in my case, it switched over to the other ESC and stopped recognizing the first ESC. I have one Radiomaster radio but it was pre-programmed for a RTF plane. Even still, that radio system completely confuses me.
There are a few Radiomaster guys here. Hopefully one of them sees your question.Leave a comment:

Sorry, this is my first go and went all in. Radio is TX16S mkII, ELRS to an ER8 receiver, throttle on ch3 with reverse on ch7, SH momentary switch assigned to rev on ch7, travel -100 to +100. Nothing else on that switch. May need to recalibrate the throttle. I’m running solo with no one else that I know of in the hobby. Thanks for your time!Leave a comment:

No problems here. Reverse works each and every time. Hard to help when we don't know how you've got it set up. What radio? What channel are you using for reverse? Do you have the proper switch assigned to that channel? Which switch? What are the limits of the switch travel (-100 to +100 for Spektrum)? Does that switch work for anything else? Is the throttle calibrated?Leave a comment:

Anyone have an issue with freewing 120A Brushless ESC with 7A UBEC and Thrust Reversing on the 90mm 8S v2 f16? Each time I’ve hooked it up it works great, once, then stays on reverse. Any help is much appreciated!Leave a comment:

Great video Dr Tom! Sounds and looks much more realistic with the slower frame rates. I need to try that.Leave a comment:

Very unfortunate! Been there, done that. We also have the scourge of grass at the edge of the runway, compounded by gopher mounds. We have a saying, "The runway never seem to be wide enough". No consolation but it could have been much worse. I'm sure you'll get her back in the air soon.
We got our first snow fall today. Our flying season is coming to an end for these sorts of planes. Lots of time for us to do repairs. Out come the float planes and VTOLs and "skidders". Melbourne must be well into spring by now.Leave a comment:

Hey team hope you r all well,, so my remaiden on 1100 grams of 8s overall went well... almost.. first flight very good... i think its underpowered on 6s.. not so on 8.. but second flight slowed a bit much aproaching final ,almost hit the dirt... went around ,, good plan stan,,, buuutt.. just touched the long grass,, very long .. on the edge of the runway,, and flipped it..
overall minimal damage,, vertigal 1 outer pylon nose cone all easy glue fix... front gear ripped out the front bearing mount.. oh and 1 bent elevator shaft.. coulda been waaaay worse... generally easy fix,,,,,, couple pics bent shaft

[QUOTE=lusek_pl;n433409]
Thank you very much for your detailed answer. I haven't had any particularly hard landings, but we have a very uneven grass runway, and the Falcon has a very long takeoff roll. Once, it folded over before takeoff while accelerating, and again after landing on the landing run. I noticed a grinding sound during retraction, and it turned out that the cutout in the fuselage for the landing gear leg was too shallow. I cut a recess there. I tightened the bolts on the pin, but the rod is already limp, and something is skipping in the retraction mechanism itself. I ordered a new one and will adjust it properly. The season is over here in Poland, so I'll be flying in the spring. Best regards.

Repeated take off and landing rolls on bumpy ground creates a vibration that will loosen the "driving" rod hex screws, or twist that rod or round the flat a bit. Look at the lower portion of your first picture (at the 2 grub screws). It's the rod that those screws clamp onto that is the part in question.
Also, the elbow of that articulated strut should be at least straight or even better, slightly over driven to lock in firmly. When you get the new part, operate the nose assembly and see where the elbow ends up. I think it's entirely possible that your current one came with that elbow not locked in, making it more easy to loosen everything and prevent a properly locked arm.
On my old one, when I took out that rod, it was severely twisted plus, the grub screws started to round off the flat. I put it in a vise and untwisted it and refreshed the flat.Leave a comment:
