Darren_O Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Just about to pick up a 2ch Multiplex Scirocco, v-tail r/e model. Not flown R/E only model before and I'm wondering do you put rudder on your normal aileron stick? I fly mode 1 so having all controls on 1 stick would seem a bit foreign.

Phil.Taylor Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Yep - "rudder" goes on your main "aileron" stick For a v-tail you could use an elevon mix rather than v-tail mix Phil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isoaritfirst Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 R/e can be very nice to fly, but imo dont go for massive rudder throws, keep them small and allow the model time to react. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satinet Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Bear in mind things tend to happen a bit slower than an aileron model. Downwind turns are to be done with care in strong wind, if you are slope soaring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren_O Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Ta for all the advice, had to delay picking it up as my cars stuck in the snow. It's not been touched since the 70's so it's going to need covering and a refit. Looking forward to flying it in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulj Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The snow advice is not the same all round the country. Here in North Wales, the covering is light in lower areas, and passable higher up. I was out and about yesterday without concerns. Perhaps Darren was unlucky - he certainly hasn't ignored any advice from the government or met office!

Darren_O Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Car's stuck because it was parked at my home when it snowed. I live on top of a steep hill, so even if I'd wanted to ignore the advice I couldn't as it was stuck...in the snow...the car is currently shod in medium compound track tires which doesn't help.. I did however walk into work and drive my van because people needed supplies.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren_O Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 She's here! Complete with full plan and original booklet. Very dirty and in need of a lot of tlc, she's never flown but has a few bruises from living in a garage 40 years. One for the workbench. Going to have the plan scanned/digitised.

Gary B Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Nice, shout if you need any of the German translating. Looks like it has Graupner spoilers. Cheers Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren_O Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Well spotted, it does have Graupner spoilers. I was born in Germany but my German is almost entirely gone. I may take you up on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary B Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Odd because the box art shows MPX type blade spoilers, perhaps they were an option? Just been scratching about in my loft and pulled out an MPX Dart, not flown in my hands. The radio install is proper 'ship in a bottle' stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren_O Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Moving along a bit now I've got some time off work. I think I may re trim the ruddervators in the transparent lime, just the control surfaces. They look a bit like I've wedged floorboards on the tail, was that the style of the time? #square. Little bit of white trim to tidy the edges and then it's on to the electrics. May give the fuse a respray too, the bright white film shows it up now. Wish HK did a slightly ivory film to match old fuselages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
