Precise, clear instructions! Thank you for that Andy.


I suppose it doesn't become evident until you make the set up connections, which I haven't up to this point.

Very glad you understood because explaining isn't my strong point

Hi Andy


Good plan with the P40 I think. I've taken a similar approach but am using tx mixing to get same result. I think its going help reduce the banking seen on a lot of the 1/10 aquarama builds, we shall see.


Have a good trip.
David.

[Taranis]

I will and at least I'll have your progress to watch 

[Taranis]

Counting down now    This time next week I'll be back 


I'm surprised that after 12 days away my finger tips are still healing from modelling abuse, ought to be like brand new for a while at least 
It's too early to start buying anything yet but midweek I'm going go order an etched parts bending tool, most likely one by Trumpeter mid sized. There are quite a few to choose from but I doubt I'll ever need a big one and I'm not paying £75 plus for something made in China even if the brand claim made in USA   

[Taranis]

After extensive research I've just bought this for delivery after my hols.

Morning Andy


Looks good, will be interested to see how it works out.


David.

[Taranis]

Hi David
This is same brand but a different model to Stans.
It has four working faces and you rotate the one most appropriate to the front.
These do not get discounted and this is the best price I can find.
There are copies on Banggood but they look like they are cast and plated rather than cnc machined.
Stans 8” is over £80 delivered
The 5.5 is not far behind at 72.95 plus P&P 4.95
If I did battleships like Stan I may have spent more money for the longer models

Morning Andy


Just posted something here as your thread is falling off the forum list...


You've been back a week... Wondering if you've lost the boat...?


 
David.

[Taranis]

Good morning David.
It's a case of you've got to do what you feel like doing when you feel like doing it 


I was torn between groundhog day or continuing with an old flame on the arrival of these



Gives you a while to catch up 

[DJW]

Ah, curse those old flames, but I can see the attraction...  Very nice indeed.


OK, give me til after Christmas and I might have caught up...

Hi All


A question on the P40E after setting up and with every thing in neutral, if I apply just left or right rudder I find a motor will start which one depends on which way I move the rudder stick. If I apply throttle forward or reverse then apply rudder then I get the desired effect of inboard motor slowing down.


Mode is throttle left stick. Any help appreciated.


Mike

[Taranis]

I don’t know Mike but that would be useful for parking the stern end against the dock by blipping the rudder.
A question for component shop

[mikew]

Thanks for your answer Andy.
I did ask, but was told the code has never changed and has always been like that.
Something that I thought was just not right.
Oh well onwards
Mike

[Taranis]

I can only think that applying rudder without throttle has little to no effect so it's perhaps programmed to apply a little throttle autonomously

[mikew]

Will give it a try on the water when weather breaks !!
Once again Tks
Mike

[colin-d]

Which mode do your have the mixer set to..?
Sounds like mode 4... spin on the spot..


You probably require mode 1 or 2.. !

[mikew]

Set to mode 1, but did try all modes and still same result
But thanks for reply.

[mikew]

Any further replies please PM me.
Thank you
Mike
