Planes > Indoor
New Indoor Venues
Aidan:
Thanks Keith.
I'll plan to head over on Thursday. What time?
Just a quick disclaimer: I'm no expert pilot! I can do a bit of hovering and aerobatics and avoid the walls most of the time but with a regular venue you'll match that in no time. I can possibly help out on the technical side :?:
I reckon Richard can show you some good indoor flying in Cork.
The secret of indoor flying is to fly a slow, manoeuverable plane, make good use of your rudder and throttle and figure out how to hover for when you need to stop!

Happy Days:
Okay Aiden, the time booked is 7 - 9 (ish)pm
Glad you're able to avoid the walls. I found difficulty missing the floor, and Brian assulted the roof girders a couple of times :lol:
Brian:
Hi,
Well Keith,now you know,I like to get it up there !!.
I assaulted the roof the floor, Brendan & I.
Question; I have a hacker 10-15s and an expressfly/turnigy ESC.
; What is best timing setting for max power ??
Brian
Fred:
Good news guys ! :clap:
So, that mean we can have an indoor session in the morning, then going flying at the slope ? :D
Sound good to me !
On a side note, as for what Nando was saying about indoor over here, me too was surprised when I arrived here that indoor was almost not done... Found out why very quick;y... 60 quids an hours for some indoor venue ! :shock: :shock:
Take my small village where I come from... Indoor gymnasium, have it for free if you are registered in the village.. And that is the case everywhere, all free ! (well, your local taxes are paying for it already... but all sports clubs can use the facilities for free...) Just go to the Mairie, and book for some hours, or a day or two... :D
That was my grumpy moment here... :P

I use that motor with Phoenix 10 and Hacker X-5 ESCs. I use default timing on both and I'm happy with them. I've messed around with the throttle response, brake, etc but never bothered changing the timing.
I use 2s lipos from 250mAh to 350mAh and either 7x3.5 or 8x4.3 GWS props. The 7x3.5 is okay on a 125g or lighter plane with decent cells but is a bit marginal on anything heavier. I've started using the 8x4.3 recently and I prefer it. Plenty power for 135g planes and should be okay for slightly heavier stuff too. Probably best to avoid lots of full throttle with this prop! - it's pushing the motor pretty hard.
The 8x4.3 GWS props do need balancing!
What props and cells are you using?
