New Fancy Foam MX2 !!!

Also, when I set my pitch, I go from one extreme to another, and listen for the sound of the motor/prop.

At one point with too less pitch, you will hear the motor RPMs way up. Too much pitch and you hear prop noise more than the motor. You want the pitch to be set right at that crossover point between the two.

So, who here can make a MX2 for G4.5?

Also, don't forget to make sure that the Flux Capacitor storage unit is full.

Seth, not making the dome tonite......

Hey guys, I got a chance to get 3 flights outside tonight withthe mx2, deeeaannng this is fun. I do notice a coupling issue without the pants, i may try them. but other wise this thing rocks, it almost autorotates like a chopper if you power off and dive with full roll kicked over,, now im playing with my swap meet find, extreme flight e extra 300. Chirs I am now showing some wood grain on my yak thanks to the B&E graphics,, not as cool as yours tho.. Im running out of room for stickers I should have bought the big redbull extra today.. oh well.. back on topic this mx2 rocks.. hahah

Hey Mike, I'm glad you're still enjoying it! The wind was dead this afternoon and I went out and put a few flights on my MX-2 in the front yard too. Man I need to fly it more often...

Be sure to let us know how the coupling is when you install the pants. Honestly I'm surprised you're having coupling issues without them... they are so small that they shouldn't have very much effect at all. But, having never tried an MX-2 without them, I can't say for sure. How bad is the coupling, and what does it do?

my old xcalibur had the same issue, It could also be an issue with not running the bent ailiron servo horn,, and maybe im noticing more movent to one side or the other, ill have to fly it some more to make a good judgement to what its actully doing. If I can get video I can see it better..

I have a FF yak 55M and I fly mine with the wheel pants but I heard without them they also coupl

I tried reducing the pitch and that made a big improvement. I was flying but the pitch servo didn't have a screw in it a fell off along with the pitch arm on the VPP, I will have to order a new one. Again thank you both for the help.

No problem.

Like I said, you can generally hear the prop or motor. Need an even combination of the two.

Kinda doubt that the horn is the issue.......... But aileron/wing centering can cause that issue.......

What you are noticing with the travels on the servo is this.......... Differential!!!! The reason they use the RRC horn is to eliminate the differential.

I have a feeling I'm going to have an issue or 2 with my AJ. I have 1 aileron up, and if I trim the servo, the one up, doesn't go flat, it stays up, slightly, and the other is up as well.... If I have issues, I will make new pushrods, tape the surface to the wing, and glue the pushrod right. But will see once I get a new motor for it.......
