These forums really helped me when I first started using RF9. Thought I should give back. Also here's an updated script, it uses some new libraries so you can just plug in a cheap xbox one controller via usb into your computer, and that will act as the input into the simulator. #original...

Since nobody on here has copy-pasted a simple code snippet to retrieve the angular orientation data from an aircraft whilst flying in RF9, I'll do it, somebody has to do it-*looks up at the sky* I am the chosen one. The code right now just has placeholder controller input values set, you will...

oh, I see lol. Ya I just use the 3W 120B2 with large power percent and changed gear ratio for large thrust...hope RF devs add a high thrust electric motor soon.

Ya, "FreeRCHobby.com" , just Google them and they've got the cheapest, strongest electric motors I've seen. You know I'm trying to sell a 3W 684 competition, twin spark engine if you're interested. At a dirt cheap price too, Since the market for such an engine is so small..

I see. These graphs are in line with my suspicions. Thank you for pointing them out. The 55" 3 bladed prop has a maximum rpm of 2700 with the MP238/50, so the electric motor is likely faster at least at raising the rpm. Appreciate your time Legoman :) , HEY! a Lego has fallen into the river...

I see, I wasn't aware the ICE had its own breaking system, I assumed it only used resistance to slow down. Now the opposite, Would a brushless motor achieve the desired thrust faster than a internal combustion engine if they both used the same propeller? A comparison perhaps, which would...

Oh, and one more sorry, would a brushless motor lower its thrust faster than a ICE?

Hello Legoman, thanks for your response! I'm currently eying the MP238/50 brushless motor from FreeRCHobby. It's a Chinese company. It generates close to 216 lbs with their 55" 3 bladed prop according to them. You were dead on about it having to do with the weight of the prop, after selecting...

lol no gals use this stuff..joking! I'm joking.

Hey Tiz, Well I can tell you the Hangar 9 P51 Mustange 20cc is ready to use as a model in 9.5S as well as the version for interlinDX. I'm not sure about connecting your transmitter, I use to use the software "vJoy" for my transmitter though that also required an arduino. With the newest...

Hello all, I have a large quad drone modeled in realflight9.5 which is controlled via simulator with ardupilot. In RF9 I had it using 3Ws gas engines to simulate the desired amount of thrust as I could not find an electric motor within the simulator that could output the required amount of...

Marcus, I greatly appreciate your reply, I've seen you often on here, you're like a knifeedge legend. The point you made about the strength of the wing in scaling is something I completely overlooked, I supposed having an accurate tell of the strength of the wing in flight is something I shall...

12oclockhigh, Thank you for you answer, I appreciate your input. Jack

Hello friends, I was wondering, what is the point of creating the whole model for RF9 other than for visual purposes, collisions? Because you could use a solid block for your plane if you just get the physics right-meaning you go into RF9 and you create your wire frame wings and select the...
