And an even more interesting use of that book on Economics ! I would have done the same too to any book on economics ;D Title: Re: Tamiya RC Scale Crawlers and Trail trucks (lots of photos) :-D Post by: sriharishine on April 04, 2010, 10:36:03 AM Anwar, Is that possible to make template for RC planes/helis for some standard functions?
Title: Re: Tamiya RC Scale Crawlers and Trail trucks (lots of photos) :-D Post by: anwar on April 04, 2010, 11:05:45 AM I am not aware of such use in the heli/plane world, except the use of a circular ring to reduce the amount of aileron/elevator throw for certain heli maneuvers. But the same feature is now available on higher end radios via software (just search for "swash ring").
Title: Re: Tamiya RC Scale Crawlers and Trail trucks (lots of photos) :-D Post by: deadman23 on April 04, 2010, 02:19:18 PM the dx5e comes with a servo high-low switch, so that ring wont be needed anyway, i guess.
Title: Re: Tamiya RC Scale Crawlers and Trail trucks (lots of photos) :-D Post by: anwar on April 04, 2010, 08:51:34 PM The "swash ring" servos a different purpose than having dual rates, it prevents binding of controls on the extreme corners of stick positions in mode 2. It is available only on the higher end radios, and it also helps do some maneuvers like piro flips easier when people are starting with such moves (these moves involves the constant "stirring" of the right stick in mode 2, and the radius of the stir determines the number of piros between when the heli flips between inverted and upright positions).
http://helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=180131 The red plastic ring on the right stick in the above link is what I am referring to. As you can see, the DX7 is much more feature rich than the DX5e, and it still needs a swash-ring (for people who want that functionality). The "high-low switch" cannot provide it. |
