Hello,

I went and red manual on this little jewel.  It seems as though it can setup very precisely.

My question is does the device settings need to be changed when the wind chamges?

How many times have you flown round one in the morning in 0-3 variable winds only to come back fly round two in the afternoon with the winds at 10+.  It would seem a little more accleration and more decleration could be valuable in the changing conditions.

I was thinking if in fact these things do need a change in the above situation would it be easier to carry three of these things in your flight box.  One setup with parameters for 0-5 winds, one set for 5-10, and one for 10+.  Then if you are at a contest and it changes you just plug a new one in.

The way Darryl has his running the bottom of the plane the access would be so simple.  Unplug one plug another one in.

Am I thinking along the right track here?

Brand?  Is this Igor Burger's thing?

I thought you flew slime power!

Increasing response may just make your plane even more unpredictable in gusts.

Yes this is Igor's thing.

Yes I fly IC but it doesnt mean I cant follow along and learn, right?  Need to know what the competition is doing.

Doug, if we get to make it to Dallas in June you are welcome to put in a flight on my model with the active timer.  I'll either have the Geo or hopefully I'll have finished my new Impact by then.

I do not change settings regarding wind. I do not change ANY setting for wind, as my friend Marphy always changes wind right after the take off 

However I never needed such difference, I set it for wind and I can live with such setting in calm day.

I would say it is just opposite, I think calm day will accept stronger regulation.  It is just like with IC engines, while jurassic 4-2-4 engines with nice and strong switch will fly nicely in calm, they will tend accelerate in wind in low positions ... while piped engines with well and precisely limited rpm by internal structure of pipe (baffles, cones) are signifficantly better in wind (compared with 4-2-4).

No, you not need 3 pieces, IF you want different setting for different conditions, you need just table with proper settings. You can somply set different setting in relation to conditions just before flight. It is programmable by small box plugged between ESC and timer and you modify settings - question of seconds.

I usually do not set anything, but in Bulgaria I flew practice flights early morning (9 degrees C) and official flight on strong sun (something around 40 dge C) and that dry air did my flight quicker morning and slower afternoon, so I rather set lap time little bit regarding temperature. But on local contest in more stable temperature I not need to change anything whole year.

Hmm I do not know exactly what you mean and what exactly I wrote, but reality is that I USE accelerometer (at least in that laters timer). I tested and used several other solutions, but this is what I actually use - by the other worlds, most sucessful for me so far.

Pay him no attention Igor.  Tim is the purveyor of bad information.

Tim, Doug and I are still flying IC but if you think that we do not study EVERYTHING that our competition is doing you are sadly mistaken. You never know, Doug and I might just have an entire electric fleet that nobody knows about...

My bad.  Thank you for straightening me out.

yep, lots of super sekrit R&D planes with experimental power systems.

I don't think Doug is debating.  He just wants to learn what's happening so he can continue to beat us.

Who sells the Igor Burger's thing?

Igor who?

OK Igor & Tania, I would really like help, I'm already ordering Max Bee plans from P.A.M.P.A.  what do I need from Igor, i.e.  timer, ESC, accelerometer,&motor (what exactly do I buy& from where) and how much does it all cost?  Please just send me a personal message with the information.

Thanks in advance, James

I think it would be nice to see the most recent total setup from prop to battery that the current WC is running!!!

I heard ,,its a cloned brain, interconnected into the control system,, kept alive in a saline solution and fed small shots of nitro,,,
Hey its what I heard,, ( granted it was in a nightmare dream last night, but I heard it allt he same,,,)
