thanks for the review, however, you only tried on single-side boards. How does it perform on double-sided PCBs?
That was excellent for (stolen) real-estate sign!!! I think the sign could be popular at your merch store!!! 😉🙃😎
Well actually it's Depron not Correx, said the pedant! ua-cam.com/video/x9xGeBrLvdA/v-deo.html Thanks for watching, have a great day!
good way to get some steps in 😅
Yep, can't stand around flying all day!! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
Thank you so much for this video!! I'm an avid reader and my kindle got squished in my backpack from traveling. I thought it was the end and i would have to splurge to get a new kindle, but $15 later i received a new screen and my kindle is back to its glory thanks to your video. Your tutorial was so easy to follow, thanks again!!
You're welcome! Have a great day!!
I think if you are controlling the turn by rudder you require elevator (up) to stabilise the turn as rudder only will cause the nose to pitch down. If you used opposite aileron this would oppose the turn and maintain the direction. Therefore if you continue with this project I would suggest that modifying the tail and providing an elevator should be number one priority. This I'm sure would lead to progressive mods say replacing the fan unit and bringing the control system/electronics up to date.
Thanks Tom! The fuse is quite well made and some thought has gone into the EDF tube etc so I will do something with the remains!! Watch this space!
Really interesting, and great blast from the past. Seems the perfect model if you wanted to get a lot of walking exercise. Would love to see if you could get used to it and have a more successful flight. Thanks for showing it.
Hey thanks! I have some plans for this, first replacing the electronics with proportional gear. Have a great day!
Think you've used enough throttle there in the gultch, Butch? 🤔🙄🤣🤣
As I mentioned the radio gear is not proportional!! Of course every club has at least one member who suffers from "digital throttle itus"!!
This is crying for an upgrade.
For sure! I will put new radio gear and see what can be done to get it to fly!
Oh well... At least you tried! 😂 But I wonder if this is the reason there are more airplanes in the bottom of the ocean than submarines flying in the sky. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Words of wisdom there My Guru! 😉🤣🤣
Thanks Mario! I will make something out of the wreckage!!
Bin it! 😊
AWWWWW! Poor Peter!!
I have only just discovered your video on this charge module, so I am hoping yours is still working. I bought a couple of these some time ago, and I wrote some comments on the Bangood site (24/5/2021) regarding tests I had done. I wanted to use it as a 'no-break' supply, but there is a momentary break in the supply when the charging input is disconnected. Other battery packs also have this problem. I havn't done any further tests since, but I am very confused by the specs. As the unit is advertised as 5, 9 , 12V o/p, and the only outputs are USB B style, not USB C, does this mean that with a suitable exchange of data, those sockets can go up to 12V?
Further investigation of the module, shows it has an IP5306 power bank charge/discharge controller, which only does 5V in and out, so the 5/9/12V spec must be fake - any comments?
@@TonyAbbey I don't believe it can output 5/9/12V. It does not support PD mode. Mine still works for the use I built it! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
From version V3.4.0, the developers increased the Wifi power. The receiver resets when switching to Wifi mode. It is necessary to add a capacitor behind the LDO regulator. I have 47uF/4V there and Wifi with V3.4.2/EPW6 works without any problems.
Good to know, thanks for sharing.
Do you need any electronic device to sync both ESCs?
No, not in my experience. Provided that the ESC's are identical and calibrated. I also built a twin EDF with no issues : ua-cam.com/video/1_Td_TzXwww/v-deo.html
Which is the flying time?
Using a 3S 1500 mAh pack, if you fly "scale" like easily 15 minutes. If you rag it around the sky like a nutter, less! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
@@1nformatica Thanks for your fast response! Now, may I know which motors and propellers did you use?
@@rva1945 There are links to all the components used in the video description.
Tried this on an infrared remote for an A/B switch and it works now. Thank you so much you saved me $61 US!
You're welcome! All donations gratefully received!! Have a great day!!
Great! If it showed RxBt not 0 in telemetry, it would be even better!
For some bizarre reason the ADC pin is not present on the processor. Both pins 5 & 6 seem to be removed on the EP2. There maybe other similar receivers that have the pin. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
Great tip. What about MATEK ELRS-R24-D can i do the same with it ?!
You're welcome! I see no reason why it should not work with that receiver. Only difference is it has a reset button instead of a pad which will make soldering a bit more challenging! Have a great day!!
To show my total lack of knowledge about these things ..... Is it possible to do the same pin mod and program them to output S-bus plus 1 or 2 PWM channels at the same time. Somewhere in the boxes here are a couple of Radiomaster mini ELRS receivers like that. The Junior Brains Trust hasn't had the time to sort us Old Farts out there yet! If so, that's 1 more way to put a brushless motor into a brushed toy with S-bus/DSM satellite sockets. 🤔😊
Well yes / maybe!! You can select CH2 to be serial Tx at which point CH3 will automatically change to Rx and cannot be changed. So you can have SBUS or CRSF on pins 2/3 and still PWM on CH1. CH4 &5 would be possible for PWM (I think) IF you can solder to the ESP8285 pins 18 & 19, there are no pads on the board I can see. This is beyond my megre soldering skills!!
@@1nformatica LOL! You can talk! You should see some of the disasters here, perpetrated by various individuals, depending on their respective levels of descent into Parkinson's! 😱🙄
@@theoztreecrasher2647 I usually have the dt's in the morning so wait for the afternoon when I can get my trembling in sync!! BTW which sbus "brick" are you using?
@@1nformatica 😂We can't even claim that excuse since most of us are banned from booze by the quacks! 😉 S-bus "brick"? Usually FrSky/Flysky/Radiolink S-bus mini receivers with the Radiomaster TX16S 4-in-1. There are 2 Radiomaster ELRS mini receivers here somewhere waiting. RP1 and RP2 I think. 1 has that little ceramic antenna.
@@theoztreecrasher2647 Sorry, my bad! I meant the DSM/SBUS "brick" usually with servos that you want to connect to in the model......

Thank you so much man!!! It worked for me in Windows11 and DaVinci18
You're welcome! Have a great day!!
As a grumpy old man, it takes a lot to make me smile, but your video made me laugh (in a good way)! I am going to get one! PS I really liked your comment about setting up a launch mode that is auto cancelled when you touch the joysticks - genius.
Hey thanks! I can't claim the launch mode as I nicked it from "Painless360"!! Have a great day!
Yep. I've bought from that site before - and similarly the pair of SU-27 style flat EPP foamies survived pretty well intact! But a smaller version (the Heewing Hunter version so panned by Lee @ Painless360) required quite a bit of the steam iron treatment. 😱 The big version (with your el-cheapo bundle) works quite well - noisy as though! I was thinking of trying that version there (with a Byme-D of course) since the tiny EPS brushed motor Jumper pair from Bangers many years ago were a complete fail. Even our more competent flier couldn't master that before final deconstruction ensued! 😉😊
It turned out better than I imagined when I opened the envelope!! Good fun, which is what it's about for me!!
Really well done, my friend! Amazing build and flight! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks Mario! It's a lot of fun!
It seems that all your Maiden flights are Tail Heavy...😉 Nice landing..
For the first flight it was pitching up as I put too much reflex on the elevons. Second flight would fly straight and level at half throttle hands off. Will try the "dive test" for CG on the next outing! Thanks for watching, have a great day!
Very well done Greg, yet another successful build and fly
Thanks Martin, missing some additional footage!! See you soon!
one of my many pending projects...🙄 For the moment I have 10 planes ready to test and when they are all damaged I could build this one! Good flights everyone and hello from France😉👍

Hola, Hay enlaces en el vídeo descripción. Un saludo desde Andalucia.
Heya, thank you for the clear and informative video! I have the same issue with the remote control, followed your tips and sadly still not working, not getting any lights for the infrared :(. Any other ideas?
My guess is bad battery contacts or the switch pads are still dirty. Check for broken / bad solder joints on the battery connections and check the board is getting battery voltage with a meter (battery not flat)! Clean both the circuit board and contacts with alcohol, I use Isopropanol. lastly it's possible the LEDs are not making contact, again check for cracked solder joints / pads lifted. Good luck!

If you still have this model just wanted to sugget try flying in mainly c mode as that is the easiest setting and A mode can be used for inverted flight etc. i thought a mode was the easiest gyro setting but its not c mode is. I noticed it didn't even steer right in a mode because it wasnt trimmed right but im a mode it didnt matter once it was in the air

hello were can i find the original firmware file for the cyclone 2400 pwmp rx?
Short answer, you can't! Long answer, the "original" firmware was based on the "Generic ESP8285 6xPWM 2.4Ghz RX". Since the ExpressLRS devs have decided to remove this target from the configurator it is no longer possible to build firmware for this Rx. I have successfully used the Happymodel EPW6 target. Configuring the 7th channel can be done with the "JSON" file as before. Thanks for watching, have a great day!
