Hey, I maidened the trex 250 with a couple of flights, so technically I'm back already. Your turn now Smiley

How's the water logging at hoskote ? Anybody still going there ? I was planning to go there and complete the beastx setup last weekend, but dropped plans after seeing the heavy rains on friday and saturday.

Vinay has been keeping 'Very' busy these days. My first RC pals in Bangalore, I haven't met him in the past 6 months or so! Even my constant coaxing to come to the fields doesn't help. I am sure many people in the local club miss his Heli flying..

It is quite nice so far. I have only the trex 250 setup on it, no issues so far. If you have any specific questions, let me know. The one in the market now is the 8fg Super 14 channel tx (which I hope is telemetry capable when futaba releases it).

The 8FG to 8FG-Super is mostly a free, doable by end user software upgrade.  On the hardware side, they say the only difference is the length of the sliders on the sides (as some people found the original design hard to access).

And it is said that all 8FGs are telemetry capable, they are just waiting for the receivers and telemetry modules to be launched by Futaba. Guess there may be another user land software upgrade to go with it.

Sounds good so far. But bro would be visiting me only in jan, Till then my RDS with 2 Sanwa RX and 6 Assan RX should be more than I would ever need.  Smiley But I have decided not to buy anymore sanwa/Assan RXs. It would be futaba/Orange only.

I have no problem with my RDS/Assan setup though. Both are working rock solid. Its just the no support for HV on the RX that bothers me into investing more. I dont think Sanwa can keep up with Spektrum/JR/Fut unless there duplicate RX and I felt this long time back, hence the assan hack.

BTW how are orange RXs compared to assan/fr sky? Divyam had called me yesterday and I suggested him to google Turnigy 9X with FR Sky or assan. 9X are I guess available at Sujju's place and only the module/RX be imported.

Yes it is the newer Futaba 8FG Super only - two of them would debut in Hoskote this month.
Turnigy 9x/Flysky is not 2.4G ready out of the box ? Sad.

Its a plug in module right? No soldering required though. But end up near 8 K. Advantage - 9 channel. Disadvantage not sure if can be used with gassers.

Why do they have the Stars and Bars markings on both the port and starboard wing Dorsal (Upper) surfaces? The standard rule for US a/c after Sept. 1943 was to have the Stars and Bars on every aircraft's Port Dorsal and Starboard Ventral (lower) wing surfaces.

So what if it is a SPAD, markings have to be adhered to, or else do away with markings.

Sorry if I sound like a puritan, I am. Bang Head

I believe the markings were done by the builder's wife (quite likely as instructed by him)... and making it "look good" was the only intention.  "Scale" was not even an afterthought.
