I know on mine it does off/ gyro/ self leveling, I wonder if that's what happened.

Agreed but I then have to buy a programmer which works on an app and I hate apps. I would rather just bite the bullet and spend £25 on another hobby Eagle A3 super 4 and I already have a programme card( no apps just connect at home or at field ) that I am familiar with. It just pisses me off that I have to do this.Originally posted by xviper View PostComment

Gyro Off no light, Gyro on green light, self level green flashing light, I checked operation and colours before I flew it. Also manual states up elevator to flap mix. it balloons if you do this, but flies level at 1/3 throttle if I apply down elevator mix. I have set 1mm down elevator trim which gives me level flight at half throttle if I want level flight at full throttle I just hold a touch of down elevator. c.g 120mm for first flight but right side up with gear down. Subsequent flights moved lipo 10mm further forward ( Turnigy 5000 60c 790gms ). I normally c.g. warbirds upside down with gear up. Manual does not specify which way up or gear up or down to c.g, bearing in mind c.g marks are under wing. no point in having c.g marks under wing unless the c.g relates to under wing balance otherwise it just leads to confusion. Not very good Motion r.c. if you have not flown a Mustang before.Originally posted by Evan D View PostComment

I am going to try connecting roll dial switch to the gains slot on the Gyro ( middle slot I think ) but unless it has been activated in an app to enable me to do that it wont work in which case I will probably just Yell at Motion customer services, bin the gyro, remain pissed off for a while and then install the A3 Super4.. dam just checked it, this gyro does not let you adjust gains in flight and the middle slot is for nose wheel steering so it looks like it is the bin option.

Why not just buy a blue bridge and you have it for this plane and the future. The freewing gyros are as good as the Hobby Eagles. I have 8 HE gyros in my fleet. The freewing is easier to work with. Especially because I have 2 HE gyros that the USB ports wore out. Now they are stuck with their current settings. The USB C plug on the freewing is superior to the USB micro B plug on the HE.Comment

There is no inflight main gain adjustment with this freewing gyro and I do not use mobile apps. A3 super 4 or A3 EVO allows main gain adjustment and on field adjustment by using programme card or dial pots respectively no smart phone required which suits my mindset . I do not fly in 20mph plus winds as I do not enjoy my flying in the wind and cold because I am a born softie !!!! If the Freewing gyro worked as advertised it would have suited my needs but it did not and it is now removed and replaced never to be seen againOriginally posted by Tygerman42 View Post

Cosmetic tip….
After many flights, I noticed the fuselage foam at the (pilot right) front of the canopy well was compressed. A gap between the front right side of the canopy assembly and fuselage had formed. Hmmm….
Was I putting the canopy assembly on without checking alignment? Nope.
After paying attention to my battery removal and installation procedure, I found that my fingers were compressing the foam.
To prevent this, install some thin plywood or carbon fiber sheeting layered onto the front side of the canopy well. Fat fingers won’t compress this tough layer! If it is thin enough, the canopy fit isn’t impacted.
After gluing on a thin sheet, I then filled the gap of the compression, sanded and painted the filler.
If you get ahead of this, you will avoid the fill/sand/paint step.
