LineMaster 2.4GHz the next generation of Control Line handles

(1/4) > >>

Carlos Diaz:
Hello all!
I would like to introduce this prooject we have been working on for several months, the development of this new handle. With an integrated 2.4GHz transmitter, it brings the ergonomics and reliability of traditional grips but with the ability to extend the control and safety of your model. Initially we are thinking about Scale and Carrier flight modes but we plan to expand the project later to Stunt.

Some of the functionalities we have developed so far include:
- Throttle control and 2 auxiliary channels (for flaps, retracts, or whatever u want to add) with the possibility of expansion in the near future to 6 or more chanels.
- Screen with intuitive menus and joystick for navigation.
- Creation of up to 4 models and custom settings for circular flight.
- Slide & Lock mechanism for quick model exchange.
- Over 50 meters signal range
- Over 170lb pull test
- More than 4h of autonomy with a single 18650 cell.

One of our collaborators and test pilot will be Bob Whitney, an incredible pilot and outstanding judge in the world of line control. With his vast experience, Bob is providing valuable insights and reviewing our 2.4 GHz LineMaster control prototype. His confidence in our project is a testament to the seriousness and strength of our proposal. When the prototype is ready, Bob will be our test pilot, ensuring that the 2.4 GHz LineMaster meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

How about a better picture of the handle? What receiver is required? Any idea of an expected availability date or price?  I am returning to carrier after a layoff, and planning to go the 2.4 ghz route. I have modified transmitters and made handles before, and yours looks very interesting.

I too like this handle.  Did a response on facebook, but I don't get on there very often.  Let us know when ready and price. D>K

Pretty Cool...but it's sort of already easy to do from off the shelf parts. Here's mine made from a "Dumbo R/C"  R/C surface controller.  Has 6 channels already, though access to CH 3 and 4 somewhat obstructed by your right hand. These are intended to be held in your left hand and the wheel (deleted) turned with your right hand. I had to alter the mechanics of the throttle channel a bit to accommodate an airplane speed control. Car speed controls go backwards and forwards and center at 1.5 ms. The control with Receiver about $35 from amazon when I got it.

Gave up on it in favor of a Climb and Dive Timer and a large EZ Just handle; throttle toggle a little uncomfortable for stunt. Probably be OK for scale or something where you stay mostly upright. If stunt included a touch-and-go, I'd revive it!

Cheers,

Steve M.
