Wre We Today
Paisley, Ontario
Yes, I am still around, of course you know that,
because you follow Patsy’s posts faithfully. We certainly have had quite the
year, quarantine when we came home, covid-19 ever since and now staying here
for the winter. Everyone has their opinion on what is right, what isn’t, wear a
mask, don’t wear a mask, don’t go out or go out. This post is not about any of
that. Each one of us has to determine what is right for oneself and respect
each other for that decision, that’s all I’m going to say about it.
This post is hobby related; it has to do with me
expanding my knowledge of new products that I want to install in the 15 ft.
Telemaster. My RC buddies, know that I am a basic nothing fancy flyer, so I am
really stepping out of comfort zone with these new products.

| 15 Ft Telemaster |

| Spektrum iX12 Radio |
Secondly, I purchased a Spektrum AR9030T, 9 channel receiver and thirdly, Smart-Fly Power System Eq6. This last one is completely new to me and will admit that it may be overboard for what it is going in, but I believe a good way to learn about it for other models. It will also, I admit, take me some time to get my head wrapped around the setting up part, but that’s the challenge, right.

| Spektrum 9 Channel Receiver and Smart- Fly |
Today, I went through the process of binding the
receiver to the radio, with success confirmed by plugging in a servo and
operating it.

| Receiver bond, servo one direction |

| Receiver bond and servo opposite direction |
Bear with me as I go through the process of setup and installation into the Telemaster, with it’s maiden flight to happen this summer 2021, COVID-19 or no COVID-19.
One of my followers,” Yankeeflyer”, I know is wanting
to know how the Corsair is coming along, I have it with me, but haven’t done
any more to it. Space is limited, but I hope to do some work on it while here.
Bear with me and I will post updates as I work on it.
Thanks for stopping by, your thoughts and comments are
always welcome. As this is probably my last post of the year, I want to wish
you all a Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year. Most of all, please
be safe and stay healthy.
I agree - it is best to try new things and push the limits as we do not want to turn into old fogies
ReplyDeleteSure don't want to turn into an old fogies.
DeleteI sure would like to be there for the maiden flight of the Telemaster. I know it's a long way off, but let me know!

ReplyDeleteThat's ok Shirley, happy to see that you read my posts. Yes we are adapting well to our new digs, but sure miss our trailer. I sure hope we see you next year, this winter isn't going to be the same, we miss you all.
DeleteKnowing the basics of RC Flying this is all above my level.

It's about time.
There is always something new in this hobby and if you don't do it, I can understand it being above your level. Merry Christmas to you both.
DeleteWay over my head. You're going to need a pilot license for that flying machine.
ReplyDeleteYes, when they are flying, they're way over my head to, haha.
DeleteYou seem to be enjoying what you are up to these days with your hobby and I will leave this comment at that point...:) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Tom and I.
