How do you reverse the landing gear switch on a DX5e??

#1 disconnect pushrods from the servo/wings
#2 flip the switch to a "flaps up" position
#3 trim the flaps level
#4 modify the pushrods to match the new positions of the servo horn and a flaps (I guess, you will have to make them shorter)
#5 install the pushrods back

get it ?

the landing gear switch on my DX5e which you cann't not reverse the gear channel on Sad

there is another way around - "reverse" the switch , not the servo
(you may need to replace pushrods).

hi,

on your video at 2:00 - flaps suppose to go down, in your configuration they are called spoilerons.

What lead you to choose the headplay goggles opposed to let's say the FatShark? Resolution?

The price - they were on offer from Dell for $149.
Friend of mine bought them for me and shipped over from USA - 160EUR delivered.

purely by remote vision

'cmon lads - we even have FPV section on this forum.

this model is not an UAV -just an RC plane,
various OSDs provide you inflight info (like heights).

also, BFPVMFA (fpvuk.org) offer the insurance for this type of flying.
