Title: ME-109 My First Flight Post by: merog on January 20, 2010, 07:09:20 AM Guys,
I wanna share with you the moments of my first flight with my ME-109, build from an EPP Kit from KIWI RC (manufactured by BUDGET RC). Its a noob flight with full of crashes all over. Am grateful to my friends Chris Jackson, Mathew Wellington(NewZealand), Mark livingstone and Laine Stahr (US) who helped me a lot to take-off. I need ya all suggestions to a better flight! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVD975gJZ-s Thank you! Title: Re: ME-109 My First Flight Post by: anwar on January 20, 2010, 07:35:47 AM Congrats ! And to hear all the people cheering was touching {:)}
I need ya all suggestions to a better flight! You only need one thing, which is to spend a few hours on a simulator.

Thanx Anwar, I have FMS and loaded the ME-109 and spent days on it. But it failed me in the real field. I think I gotta go with a noob trainer like NutBall on the field first! Title: Re: ME-109 My First Flight Post by: anwar on January 20, 2010, 07:44:54 AM Forgot to mention dual rates. Reduce the throws on your plane using dual rates function on your radio, and it will be more manageable.

I think the control surfaces move less or more after activating the dual rates, right? Think to give my radio's manual a reading. Anwar, Can you tell me in simple way that what does a dual rate mean and what does it do?

But in my flight, I trimmed the 'End Point' of the sticks in my radio to reduce the throws of the ails. I think its wrong now, better gotta go to 'Dual rates' and 'Expo'! I got it! Title: Re: ME-109 My First Flight Post by: anwar on January 20, 2010, 09:09:00 AM Another thing I noticed is that you have to "plan your route a bit in your mind". I see that you are letting the plane fly too far away from you.
Flying at a lower throttle will also help. |
