Misc / Flight Model Simulator - FMS

Hi Fred,
I have just downloaded the simulator. Thanks I will get the cable I have at home and try it out tomorrow. If not I will buy a usb radio.
I hope the weather is ok for the weekend.
I tried that cable but was unsuccessful. However I found one on ebay so its now being shipped to me from Hong Kong!

A high wing plane sounds good. I would like this to have a bit of fun with and can take a knock if unavoidable.
I'll do a bit of looking to see what type of motor etc suit to keep the weight down.

Slope Soaring / Unknown Model

Its actually light and the wings are quite thin so it would be fast and areobatic.

I recently aquired this model and have no name for it or its type, as its an old plane. Does anyone think know it? It needs some work and servos etc but I hope to have it built in a few weeks and you all are welcome to fly it as I learn on the daisy.

Can these handle crashes well?
Once I get some flying time (a lot) it would be fun to have something like this to have for flying on the local football pitch beside me on a very calm day. Would a novice flyer be ok with flying this or something similar?

Fred & Joe,
I had a blast yesterday at the slope and hopefully I will have the Daisy ready for flying this weekend after I make the few adjustments. Thanks for helping with the setup of the radio etc. It was great to get flying with the 'student' glider, thanks Joe.

Fred,
I was away yesterday so did not get a chance to do anything. On saturday if you are flying i would like to pop up to the slope and let you have a look at the plane, if you get a chance, it would be appreciated. Meanwhile i will take on board your suggestions and let you know how i get on this evening.

I am nearly finished the assembly of my Electric Daisy(found some time). However I have two questions.
1. When I connect the battery the speed controller beeps every one second continiously. What causes this problem, how should i fix it.
2. When I turn on the 'Hitec Optic 6' the servos 'jump' they move position by about 45 degrees.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would love to begin flying soon. Thanks

Fred, thanks for the info. I got a chance yesterday evening to pop into Green's HS, where i bought the plane and saw a daisy that was built. Seeing it finished helped.
The motor is direct drive (Race 400 Electro Motor 7,2V). I got some washers (2.5mm + 3mm) to use on the bolts (8.5mm) that go into motor and firewall so it does not touch the rotary part.
I hope to do this on the weekend so I will let you know how I get on and I will post pictures of the build as I go along.
Finally, I will try to get out to Mt. Leinster some Saturday.

I have recently bought my first rc plane which is a DAISY electric glider. As a complete novice I know I will struggle with assembling this and I may need your advice/help (if you don't mind the stupid questions :oops: ).
Q1. Has anyone got any pics of their assembly which may be of benefit to me?
So far, I have cut out & trial fitted the vertical fin. Next is fitting the prop and motor which is half complete.
Q2. How does the engine fit securely in place? Do I then attach the prop?
Thank You!!!
