Test flights with the first 1,45 m version 🙂

We also work on a 1,45 m version 😀 2 protypes are in progress Cheers Soren

Kobra 20 For approx. 40 years ago there was a plan in the Danske Modelflyve magazine. It was a Kobra 20 (105 cm span,) and since then it has been built countless times and in many versions. 12 years ago we had a big winter building project in my club, where we made 12 planes at our club evenings at the local school. So this year we had talked about resuming the project with a club project in the coming winter. Then we contacted Dane-rc.dk and asked if he could help with laser cutting the models and he wanted to help, but he didn't have time to make the Autocad file because of other projects with large tow planes that he has promised to finish. Then they asked me if I could make the file, and I thought I could handle that, since I had made a couple of retro gliders last winter. After a few days I was ready to test cut the first one and it looked fine, and after test building and flying some corrections have come and version 3 is now ready for delivery. Dane-rc has now delivered the aircraft that we need, and can deliver to others who are interested in it. He gives a 10% introductory discount until 1 December.

Summer thermals Going for touch and go to thermal 🤠 https://youtu.be/gU14P303pA8 Cheers Soren

Yes, or the tow plane make a half roll and dive vertical 🙂

On the 3 Lidl in the video there is a tow coupling as in the video below. The towplane is a Funcub with a large motor, but a standard Funcub will also do it. The Standard Lidl is 280 gram and the Flying wing Lidl is 225 gram AUW On ather gliders we just use a piece of velcro, on the Lidl around 5 mm, and we place it at the underside of the fuselage around 5 cm from the nose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylMsItwYZng&t

Lidl competion at my club last weekend.

Making the Lucky Star, it is a vintage Dansk modelflyve industri A1 freeflight glider from 1959. I made it as a 3 ch RC glider with rudder, elevator and towcoupling The Lucky Star was one of the few DMI gliders that I did not make as a boy 🙂 On the 3 flight It was 13 minutes in the air, not bad for a untrimmed small vintage glider in mid winter 🙂 The plan is in Modelflyvning danmark,s plan database here: https://www.modelflyvningdanmark.dk/t... And many more vintage model planes here: https://www.modelflyvningdanmark.dk/t... https://youtu.be/oNCrU7-czIU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNCrU7-czIU Cheers Soren

Tow and talk in my RC club last weekend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe6aphDBrPA Cheers Soren

This page can change spm files from the DX8 G1 to Spektrum G2 I have used it with no problems ? https://spmtool.azurewebsites.net/ Cheers Soren

Just go for the latest update ? Cheers Soren

Still going strong ? Testing new servos last week ?

How I made the Nurflidl ? https://youtu.be/S8blabQUKqs

Maiden flight with my new build Nurflidl today. It is made from the old version with wide trailing edge. 22-28 knots wind, 100 gram extra inboard ballast and CG at 38 mm, 2 x HXT 900 servos, 4 x AAA Nimh battery. https://youtu.be/0H58No5q6bE Cheers Soren

I have test flown the Lazy Bee ? Michael from Dane RC is also flying in my RC club ? Video from the maiden flight day at his private airfield: He is also working on a glider version that I can test fly on the slope ? Cheers Soren

Turn on power on the plane. Hold the plane Set throttle to max Turn on the tx and after a few beeps pull the throttle back to 0, then the esc is calibratet. aaaaand ready to go after the cell count.beeps   This should be done with a new rx or new esc. You can maybe also just try to set the throttle throw to max and /or first try to give max pull back trim, sometimes this is enough to arm the esc. But the right way is to calibrate it as first described, then the esc know where 0 and full power is and it will arm the esc when powered up next time Cheers Soren   Edited By Speedster on 07/01/2021 18:14:54

Maybe you are way off in trim and sub trim. Try to set the aileron trim to neutral and set the sub trim to 0, and adjust the servos and the the pushrods so the ailerons are in neutral position and try again And take a look at the Dualrate/expo screen, here you can also adjust the travel in the dualrate. Soren

The first time you calibrate the esc and set the full and low power settings. Set the throttle at full and turn on the tx and rx and at the first bip you pull back to low throttle.and after that there will be a battery cell count beeps and the esc is loaded and ready. After this you will need to set the motor brake on,, (motor glider) by using the manual for the esc. or a programing card Good luck Soren

Just get one with voice, you will not regret it. Then you can have variometer and other nice stuff. But I would go for a least a 8 ch. 6 ch is not that good if you want a plane with flaps and other fun things, Cheers Soren

I got the Mobius from Banggood and it was a "New version" I don't know what lens it has. I think it is the Mobius on the video, but it could also be my old Gopro Hero. Soren
