stebro Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) watch this : bixler kit version build Cheers for that. That is much better than the guide i watched. Made me think why only parts of my fuselage was stuck together and realized that they had used double sided tape in SOME places just to hold it together. Graeme you will need some cable and bullets to extend the motor wires or you can just solder them all together if you like but then you dont have option of checking motor directon. Plus think you may need to get some araldite as now i got to stick it all together i dont think there will be enough Edited March 12, 2013 by stebro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toys4x4boys Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 No probs, I've got wire and bullets Link me to the right araldite though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stebro Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I have just got 2 part araldite from motor factors. I hope it right stuff. One of the vids i watch showed the fella mixing his epoxy so it must be same gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) yep you mix it buddy one tube is adhesive, the other is a chemical setter/hardener. mix it carefully try not to add anything extra like hair, fingers, etc etc. also mix it slow, dont get it full of air bubbles, nice and easy slow mix. leave it for about a min or so, then a little slow mix and apply. dont go mad this stuff is sticky and seeps out. a little spittle on finger tip helps smooth it out. and good on you watching vids of builds, this is how you learn and gain knowledge. tips , tricks, hints and how to avoid mistakes Edited March 12, 2013 by Tamiyacowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer watch a few now but most of them showed the fuselage built which is wher i got confused or if it was together the whole lot was loose, but now i know that they stick it together in places with tape just to hold bits in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stebro Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Right so i managed to extend the motor wires , make a bind plug and solder TRX connectors to battery and esc Then i set about binding spectrum to the orange TX. Was unsure if they did work but they did. Much to the wife pleasure as it beeps away Anyway once that was all done i tested the servos out to make sure they worked before i stuck the fuselage together and they all good. Need to check once servo is which at the moment as i cant remember them except throttle. 2 of them are labelled up with numbers so just need to find the guide which told me which these number related too. So mixed my epoxy up again to the wife delight as it stinks Needed a little weight to hold some of it together and what better than my DX6i God this stuff tastes foul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) yep things like servos can be held inplace with a little reinforced tape. sweet with the build take it slow and easy, let that sucker dry fully ( 12/24hr). wait till misses hears the thing start to scream and whine when its propped up lol i got the bug and have put some moneys a side for a bixler II , im interested in those flaps Edited March 12, 2013 by Tamiyacowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stebro Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Well just connected everything up and all servos work fine but motor is just beeping like mad. Have done a google search and that not helping Swapped motor wires round as there is no real way of telling which wire goes where but that didn't help. Dont know what else it can be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Try this step set. hook up motor to esc, hook up servos, hook up rx. make sure bind plug is in. now power up system by hooking up the esc battery. check rx is blinking. now power up TX and if a dx6I ( hold the trainer toggle switch in on mode) ok once the tx is bound , unplug battery from esc, un plug bind plug, re=power up , tx on first then power the system. the esc now should now emit a small tune " beep beep beeeep beep beep" now it should be ready to enter setting on esc and program the cutoffs etc etc. what ESC is that buddy ? right its a 18-20 or likes esc. first off set end points. power up tx and put throttle to 100% now power up esc, you should here a tone/beep/tune, once it stops, put throttle to 0% thats the end points set. now with esc sat infront of you on the right side , red battery wire at bottom black battery wire at top. on left side : top left side wire is negative black, center wire is Positive RED, bottom left is signal yellow Edited March 13, 2013 by Tamiyacowboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to do it about 4 times till it was right. Will set end point now, well later as off to hospital again with my bloody eye Do i need to set end points or anything on the rudder etc?

Tamiyacowboy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) just make sure all servos are centred. all trims are neutral. RE-CHECK servos when all connected to surfaces. check pitch up/down rudder left/right aerlions left/right. then pop out side hold craft tight and check throttle range. see if motor turns correct and air is blowing towards the tail, if air is blown towards the nose the motor needs wires need swapping over. turn off brake on esc / set lipo battery, soft cutoff. maybe grab a lipo alarm/tester/buzzer and install to. also first flight, trim her when able to get fairly high then trim for level flight at 40% throttle or a speed to your liking.. you may find her nose heavy so slip battery backwards to the tail a little bit. then come down to around 15/20ft and cruise/power fly till you hear lipo alarm buzzer from plane. make down this time and program you handset timer to it. this way if you cannot hear plane alarm you will hear the handset warning. Just because it flys fast does not mean you should fly at that max speed. Edited March 13, 2013 by Tamiyacowboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stebro Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Why is your eye bloody ? Got hit with something in it on friday but never bothered me till last night. Was at A E this morning but they couldn't get it out so got to go back friday for them to try again but so bad tonight went back again but gave up as 6 - 7 hr wait just make sure all servos are centred. all trims are neutral.
