was expensive as you can see, but now at £299 seems to be quite a package

The Parrot Disco is a fixed wing drone with FPV https://www.parrot.com/uk/drones/parrot-disco#parrot-disco As ii's been available in the UK for sometime now, I was hoping for some information regarding flying performance etc..

has anybody purchased one yet ?

I have the Turnigy 22260 3000Kv 650W motor (EDF OUTRUNNER) with a Turnigy Trust 70A SBEC and I'd like to fit it to a 10 blade fan unit and fly my Durafly Sea Vixen. Can I ask what the maximum battery 'size' I can use ? Thanks Roger

Will be using the Evolution 20 where the manufacturer recommends the ignition system should run with a 2 cell lipo - when I connect the 'other side' of the kill switch to the receiver won't the voltage be to high ?

and the problem gents - tx throttle epa set at 100% full throttle but only 80% closed - adjusted both to 100%, 'tune' played and the motor started ! Thanks again for your generous support Watch this space as they say, sure to have further questions Roger

Check the cut off voltage on the Esc Sam - how do I do that Sam ? Have you programmed the ESC? - how do I do that Dave ? do you have the throttle at minimum ? Esc will not arm unless throttle is moved to minimum, you may even have to drop the throttle trim down also. - it was set to 'closed' to avoid the motor everything suddenly kicking off - will try with trim down as well So are we saying that a 14.8 volt motor will run with an 11+ volt supply (3 cell) ? Roger

Thanks for that John, thought that might be the case although I may have considered something from Hobbyking that calls itself a Pitts Muffler for a 26cc engine (£27.00) but doesn't say if it will fit the Turnigy - I'll have to contact them Roger

But the box says displacement 32cc, so is it 26 or 32 ? I know it's a cheap gas variant (why I bought it !) but even so, it is very noisy. Does anybody know if another muffler is available for this model ? Thanks roger

Hi Keyword Help - Still learning much about electric flight Just finished my Durafly Sea Vixen and with all installed I thought I'd run the motor It's a 14.8 volt motor and although I've yet to purchase a 4 cell lipo I thought I'd 'give it a go' with a 3 cell but the motor doesn't run despite the fact that all the surfaces work. I noticed when connecting the battery that the usual electronic 'bleep' wasn't there ! Regds Roger

Sounds good John, Just finished installing the aileron servo's tonight, had a quick look at the fan housing and all seems to be a snug fit. As this is my first edf unit and I have the Changesun 10 blade to fit, I'm a little confused about the supplied washers in particular, which one goes where I'm assuming that I've to use the supplied alloy shaft to place over the motor drive shaft in order that tightening will achieve a tight 'grip' and to do this I will first pass this shaft through the back of the fan and then offer it up to motor drive shaft. Once this is in place, use the bog standard nut and washer to tighten from the 'other end'. roger

Hello Bill Well I'm about ready to start the Sea Vixen, seem to have spent hardly any time with the model after opening the box to see it was all there. How did your's fly ? What about forum comments (not this one) regarding the motor wires affecting the airflow through the fan - is that a comment to ignore ? Do you have any more close ups of the motor / fan installation ? Cheers roger

looking better all the time !

Should I be looking at a ubec speed controller ? I understand that in the event of a motor failure then I would still have control of the flight surfaces ? Thanks for all the help with this one guys roger
