The Nerf Vortex football is the one Capt. Mike recommends. Apparently he has tried some different ones in the past, and the Vortex whistles seem to have the greatest sound output for our situation. The Vortex football has three different whistles in it. A long, medium, and short length whistles.

Originally posted by xviper2 View PostThe problem with what you did was you had BOTH the BEC and a separate battery (your 2S) feeding the RX at the same time. If you are going to use a separate receiver battery, you must remove the BEC from the equation. It's called a Battery Elimination Circuit for a reason. If you don't eliminate the separate battery, then you need to eliminate the BEC. Powering the RX with 2 different sources is just asking for trouble, especially when one is a much higher voltage. When using a separate battery (that goes into the RX) or using an auxiliary BEC (not the stock), the red wire(s) from the stock BEC(s) must be pulled so you don't have conflicting receiver power sources.

The second flight found me pushing it a little harder on a 4 minute timer and I still ended up with 40% in the packs. I am running my first Lemon 10 ch receiver and a Hobbywing A3-L gyro with the gain set to about 11 o'clock. It was a long but fun couple days at Tired Iron Aviation's 4th of July fly-in. George got video of both flights but here is the first. Thank you so much George, excellent job.
The nice part is I could still drop some 6S batteries in it if I wanted to. I will be flying this one a bunch more going forward as I continue to get settled in with it. My second flight was to redeem my landing on the first flight and was a greaser.

Unfortunately to late for me. Gotta do the touch up. Oh well.
Sorry I didn't put this out earlier.
You have to practice to get the feel of the tape and watch it give way as you pull on it.
You will get better at this with time like I did, this is my fourth plane this year painting and I just learned on the fly from my mistake.
A bad one was I thought I had the heat gun set on 150 degrees but it really way 1500 degrees while I was pulling the tape (gater finish that will have to be fixed later) Now I leave my hand in the way of the gun to check the temperature as I go just in case I made a mistake on the heat setting.
Good Luck.BVM Bandit, EFlite Carbon Z T-28, EFlite Carbon Z Cub, EFlite Promethus, FW Avanti S, FW A-10 ThunderBolt, FW P-51 Mustang, EFlite Convergance, EFlite Carbon Z Cessna 150, EFlite Habu, EFlite Styker Q-F27, HSD Navy Super Viper

I cut 3/8" off the nose spring to soften it and cut one coil from the mains to make them stiffer, works great and would do it again.Warbird Charlie
