[NSRCA-discussion] Brio 10 Set up

Fri Apr 21 07:31:12 AKDT 2006

 Hey Mark I figured you wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. My setup is as follows, Hacker A30 16M, APC 11x7E, (don't run an SF prop with type of power),  Eflite 40amp ESC, (cheaper and works well doesn't have the braking options of the CC35). Batteries are Hyperion 2100 3S. Yes they are good and cheaper than the TP's. I'm peaking at 33amps. Based on what Venture Hobby shop guys are saying TP had better lower their pricing because these are selling much better.
   Servos are 9 gram except I have a Micro digital elevator servo for accuracy. It's a JR. $35. If I were doing it new I would opt for the new Futaba mini servos.
   AUW is 31 oz. while they seems heavy to most it can handle it. It flys so close to my 2 meter planes that it's scary. Were lucky that QQ and Horizon have decided to put type of effort into a pattern design. The sales of these lil buggers should make it easy for the big manufacturers to bring more like it. Mike

I just picked up the kit yesterday at the hobby shop.  Impulse buy
considering I have two full size versions, and all this talk about it
for $99
I couldn’t resist.

   Hey Ed most of us have found the rudder servo needs to be in the tail. They seem to be a little nose heavy with the pull pull. Mike

    Let’s hear how you do. I am about a week behind you with the same setup except that I am using a TP 2100 mAh (3p), because I have one available and for the same reason I’m using HS-55s. I also switched to a Castle Creations Phoenix-25 ESC for the additional features. Where did you put the rudder servo?

      I just finished setting everything up in my "minúsculo Brio".  I grudgingly decided to use the Spektrum.  REALLY wanted to use the 10SXII or 10X, but why buy another receiver.  I like my Spektrum for foamy work, but thinking ahead to having to finally learn how to do useful mixes, fake a rudder DR with a mix etc, get the switches working the way I want, I was being lazy and wanted to avoid it.  So I finally hit the books and have it configured right, the only important piece missing is no expo on rudder.  

      I'm trying the "best recommended setup", i.e. the E-flite Park 480 1010Kv outrunner and the E-flite 40A ESC and starting out with TP 1320's.  Bench tests don't seem too envouraging re. how the vertical will fare with just a 1320, but we'll see.  Seems to sag fairly quickly and it might really need a 2100 pack. The weight is encouraging though and another 2 oz with a TP 2100 isn't going to matter much I guess.  I skipped their little plastic spinner and the all-up weight with Spektrum Rx and 4 JR 281's is 28.9 oz, at the low end of their recommended weight range of 28-34 oz.  I was suprised at how far forward I had to put the battery to achieve a 4" starting balance point from the LE.  It's as far forward as it can go.  Hoping to fly soon if the weather cooperates.

      BTW, has anyone using the 281 digitals noticed that they are never 'happy'?  All of mine run through this cyclic little 'blit' where they can't help but try moving a step and then go back.  It's not an oscillation per se, there are several seconds or more between these 'blits' and it is competely unrelated to whether they are connected to a control surface or not and also unrelated to battery voltage to the receiver.  Also unrelated to receiver type or transmitter used, doing the same thing on a R955S as it does connected to a Spektrum receiver.  No relation to lead length either. It's just what they like to do apparently.  Anyone else seeing this?  Seems like a deadband value issue could be involved.

      Ed

      Just wondering which motor, battery, ESC, prop to use on this aircraft.  Also I fly at 6000 msl.  Where would you buy all the accessories and aircraft.  TIA
