Giant Slow Ultra Stick

ok good i just thought this could help

No problem, thanks !!! So any other choice for my single color cable? I guess I could try that orange, Spektrum seems to use that a lot?

sounds good to me

Here's the servo wires in orange and blue. I used the orange from the wings but darkened it a "tiny" bit. So which is best, orange or blue? Or something else?

the orange looks good to me it goes with the orange on your CS

Orange

 

[technoid]

Yeah I like them in orange too. Got a question. Can you tell the difference between the orange on the servo wires and the motor wires? If you can which orange do you like the best. They probably should be the same. Right now the orange on the "battery" wires are the same as the rest of the plane, but the orange on the servo wires is a "tiny" bit darker.

I kind of think the orange on the "motor" wires is a little more pure orange. But I'm bad and stuff like that.

Either shade works for me....

Thanks. I changed the servo wires to match the motor wires so that whole area will be the same. There really wasn't much difference but I wanted them the same.

I thought I'd upload another beta for anyone that wants to checkout the wiring. I also added a Cinema Cam since I like to fly around looking at stuff. I really like using it in RF-X to explore the island they added at the end. I do have something I need some help with. If you fly around normal everything seems to be okay but if you go up a little higher and flip the plane around hard the wing will break off. I played around with different values but I had to go up to Strength = 220 on the wing to keep it from breaking off, which is a lot. Anyway, I'd appreciate any feedback on this from you guys.

i will check it out a bit later but not sure if upping the fuse strength will help that or not

Been gone taking the wife to Dallas to her specialist appointment. I tried adjusting the fuselage strength too but it didn't seem to help, let me know how it works out for you.

i tried making the wing break flying it up to 230 ft diving straight down and pulling full up and down EL multiple times pulling full power high rates loops and inverted loops right down to 10 percent battery and i never could get it to break off set at 100 for both wing and fuse , (the fuse strength didnt seem to make any difference) i got the wing to break off at what i think would be close to the real RC one would with a crash and really hard landing nose bumping runway first , i'm wondering why you had your try break off in RealFlight Evolution version and i couldn't in RF8 ? Maybe a few others can test it out at the 100 per wing strength setting .

Hum.. that's odd I can break it off easy. I don't normally use RealFlight Evolution. I still use the DVD version of RF 9.5 unless I'm releasing a plane and then I use RealFlight Evolution to export it so it's in the RealFlight Evolution area of the Swap Pages. I'll see if I can make a video to show you. But what I do is go up pretty high and flop it over and give it full elevator, ailerons, rudder, and throttle. One direction of that combination seems to break it off easier.

I couldn't get the wing or wings to break off either. Like Doug said, pretty much tried everything he did.

 

[technoid]

Here's a minute and twenty second video with four breaks. If I remember correctly, I climbed, turned, gave it full down elevator, and immediately give both sticks full up and right. I didn't think to turn on the radio gadget. This is with the beta physics. Like always it looks better if you use the YouTube link and watch it there.

 

[rcdoski]

Don't know what to tell you Tech. I think the one you have is a defective Beta. I even tried in chase mode, going up over 800 ft straight down full throttle 82 mph full down, rudder and ailerons didn't break. Tried it with full up also. Still didn't break.

Ha.. I guess I'm a destructive little brat.

That one got me laughing pretty hard!!!!

The beta is set at 120% (as downloaded)
This is the only time I managed to break a wing.

It's weird that everyone can't or has a hard time breaking it off, but I can do it over and over. I haven't tried it in RF EVO yet but I'll try it there tomorrow.
