Sorry, I didn't mean to be misleading...I needed to test the forum's ability to embed images so I selected a random image I had on my HD.

Nevertheless, Nice Work! I've had a bit of "heat" scarring on my F-18 and F-4 Nozzles as well. Maybe I should say "Extreme Heat", cause as you know, I go a bit overboard on everything!
I didn't realize how "hot" those RC Geek Afterburners really were.:lying_face:

Yes, LB, these are my nightmarish version of "Scale Exhaust Nozzles". I was actually trying to match Tamm's Fusia Kitchen Aide dough mixer she saw that reminded her of me! :lying_face: They do radiate in the air!

Yes gyro to receiver is three single connections for the aileron, elevator and rudder signals and two three connection wires for the sensitivity and mode. Then each aileron, elevator and rudder servo plugs into their assigned slots. Other things like reverse, retracts, drogue chute or other non flight surface servos go straight to the receiver.

The single signal wires for A, E and R does confuse some people.

Thanks Gents,
I’ve had some bad servos in the past, even if it was just one or the other I should have had some opposite authority, everything seemed locked up, no rudder either. I didn’t have any holds showing during or after impact. It does announce that too, I had the volume up since I was the only one there. I’m at a loss. I wanna buy another, but now have concerns. I don’t fly much with gyros anymore, but was even considering the one with a gyro, to magically save it, if it were to happen again. lol wishful thinking. I’m bummed, it’s a beautiful model.

Can anyone tell me why we get a second set of oleo springs with the v2, what are they used for?

They are different spring rates. If you want a softer strut compression, use the 2nd set.

Would you recommend the installed spring for grass or go with the softer spring?

I haven't changed mine out. Kept the stock springs. I fly off both GeoTex surface and grass. For me, the stock springs seems to work OK for both. People used to complain about this horrible kangaroo bounce on landing that caused severe damage in some cases. They thought the struts were too stiff. Some resorted to turning the struts backwards to minimize the bounce. I think that's one reason why Freewing included different springs. I suggest you decide for yourself if the bounce is a problem. If so, then consider swapping them for the other set provided. The V2 seems to have addressed a few of the issues found in the V1, one of which is the "bounce".
