[NSRCA-discussion] Brio 10 Set up

Fri Apr 21 16:24:16 AKDT 2006

Ed,

I have done one on E-Sky/E-Flite 4 channel radio (Mode 1 to Mode 2).
I once also tried to switch from Mode 1 to Mode2 with a Futaba 7UAP, but
couldn't do it because of so many wires going weired locations.

Beside, I am not that good with soldering iron, but if it is just 3 wires, I
think I can handle it.  I will open the DX6 tomorrow to count the wires.

Mike just told me that he had couple of JR radios' mode changed by Horizon
free of charge.  Will they do for Spektrum?

I will give a call to our Horizon Sales Rep and make some suggestions
regarding the mode changes or availabilities.

Gotta go start building my Brio 10.

Ihncheol:
Are you good with a solder iron?  Make your own mode 1 changes if so.
You're just moving wires from one pot to another.  I guess you would have to
deal with the wiring on the digital trims too.  Could be done, ofcourse your
warranty goes poof!

I am going with Six-Series with gearbox setup.  E-Flite 40Amp, TP 2100, 4x
Futaba S3110, JR 610UL. APC 12x6E.
I've tried E-Flite 480 on a Pilot Zero 10, but with 3S 2100. It was under 30
oz and flew really well.  I don't think the 1320 will do very well
I wish Spektrum comes out with Mode 1 for me.

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.

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
