    FPV-ing the Su-35 in the rain... because flying in good weather is too mainstream!

    Hi James:-)

    That is a good bench tip that I myself had not thought of. I am going to do that.

    Thank you and Many Happy Landings:-)

    This is not so much about the picture but more about something to make life easier.

    I have a tip for all new and old pilots getting in to 6S models that I think should be mentioned on the show: Make yourself an approx 1ft, or more, battery-cable with a smaller connector at one end and the 6S battery connector at the other end. Then you can use smaller batteries when working on the model on the bench. I use 3S or 4S depending on what is at hand. It will cycle the gear, you can set throws and test everything you need, also throttle at low rpm. This takes away the hassle of having to work with and connect/disconnect big 6S batteries indoors. With a longer cable the battery can rest on the bench and out of the way. I use XT90s on my 6S batteries and XT60 on my smaller ones, so the picture is a FW Su35 on its back with a 1800mah/4S XT60 battery on the bench connecting to the XT90 in the model.

    Use it if you want to, at least it has made my life easier.

    And for all the Mig29 guys: Get yourself a Y-cable from one battery connecting to both ESCs, and the calibration will be as simple as on a single engine model.

    Cheers!

    Ok here is another of my captured/Stranger in a Strange Land/Spoils of War Bird. FlightLine FW-190 V1 1120mm (44") Wingspan - PNP bird. As usual it looked great right out of the box. However I wanted to make it mine. So with the help of Callie-Graphics.com I changed it to one of the Fw-190's that the USAAC Captured, repainted, changed the markings to US markings and test flew it.

    So as usual the first few pics are what it looked like out of the box. the next few are in work pics. and the last few are of the finished warbird. when I get some pics of her in the air I will post them latter.

    I'd recommend to go a step further and use separate 2S Li-Po receiver packs to power your electronics separately from the EDFs, using a high-power UBEC (continuous 8A minimum).

    I use 600mAh batts and will normally replace them every two flights, leaving a lot of margin. Then again, all up to personal preference!

    He's a couple with the new cockpit. Everyone knows I hate posting pictures of my repaints, but for you I'll make an exception. The flight video I posted with the above pictures was also before I did the cockpit.
