Finished the Tiny-X plane

Filed under: R/C Flying — admin @ 10:29 pm

I just finished building my Tiny-X plane.  

The servos and control rods went in fairly straight forward.  Though attaching the elevator servo from underneath was a bit tricky.  I had to drill a small hole through a piece of balsa blocking the screw driver. 

I was going to use a 72MHz receiver, but I need to find the manual for my Hitec transmitter.  I have forgotten how to setup a new plane, reverse the elevator, and adjust the servo travel.  So, I used the Spectrum 2.4GHz, all menus are shown on the LCD, and are very intuitive.  (Those receivers are a bit pricey, especially when I have many 72 MHz receivers just sitting around!)

I am re-using a 4 year-old 2S1P 1000 mAH LiPo, we will see how long it holds up.

 

If the weather is right, I will try a maiden flight tomorrow (Mother’s day).
