My 35% Dalton 260

[Gordo]

How big of hole did it make and how long ? The sheeting is what makes the wing ridged . If its large I would make a pattern and cut a new part , then the pattern over the wing and cut out the damaged part , repair the foam with some go rilla then go rilla the new sheet into position . weight it down and a light sand should do the trick on the seems . Mix up some sheetrock mud and elmers wood filler for a nice match and it sands way easy to you will have it fixed in no time .

well the problem is my wing is covered. But the hole about 5/8 wide or less and maybe 6 inches long. It is not that bad but am just worried. Not that much of the sheeting is remove from that area

Well guys I got the first and the last flight on my new Dalton today. It was flying beautiful and then the reciever locked out. I got it back for sec and tried to get it back to the run way but the reciever locked again and it didn't get it back.

Ben thanks for building a great fuse. Well now am puzzled but I have it's bigger brother(42%) at home to finish. I would like to thank everyone on FG for there help on this project.

Yep..........I still cant figure it out.......all I know that I lost connection.......and then the motor died.

Damn that suck, that da-100 re2 combo was crazy. It would accelarate on a up line and it sounded like an electric in the air. I couple of clicks of elevator and aileron was all she need for hands off flight.

Man DOUBLY suck!! Sorry to hear about that .

What radio system were you guys running?

[ibange]

That was sad to watch. Losing a big plane always sucks but on the first flight is really awful. I hated to see it going in. Aerobatic guys didn't fare well today! One firewall broken off, one crunched up elevator/rudder, your plane totaled, and I almost lost mine to loose batteries on the last flight. Landed with only one of them still hooked up to the turboreg.

I had a JR 1221 RX, am going to call horizon on monday, I have a lot of un answered questions. I really think there was something up with that 42% blue box i had in my plane. What hurt me the must is the amount of time I and my friend put in on this plane. Also I am running the same setup in my 34% Extra, but the system is regulated, has 921 rx, and a smart -fly power expander instead of the blue box.

My set up was AR9100 - 2x A123's - 12 8711's (regulars) - no regs. I just think that I was fliping the plane a lot and working every servo pretty hard and the voltage dropped to low and the receiver lock out........its the only thing that makes since......because the motor also died.....like a fail safe.

I had a near miss with my 103" Extra 300SC as well. I think what helps with the Spektrum system is that if you have issues, you can use the flight log to trouble shoot your problem. Change a couple of things, and it's running well now.

my was JR 1221, 2*2600's li-ion 9 7955 , no regs. I motor never quiet on mine it just went to low idle, Then the rx reconnected and then i lost it again. It sucks

What is the best way to use the flight log? I will get one for use in my 42% , what is your current setup in your bird
