Step 18: Radio Programming
The prototype was set up utilizing 8 channels as follows using a Futaba 9C, many radio system
and option exist, it is up to the builder’s discretion to pick the equipment that best fits the their
needs:
‰
Ch 1 Elevon (Elevon mix enabled)
‰
CH 2 Elevon (Elevon mix enabled)
‰
CH 3 Throttle
‰
CH 4 Rudder
‰
CH 5 Retracts connected to RC Bee Gear sequencer (i.e. Gear servo, Door 1 Servo and
Door 2 servo)
‰
CH 6 Brakes (Mixed with CH 2, activate on down command) also Mixed with CH 5; enabled
with Retract Down only
‰
CH 7 Aux 1 Canard (Mixed with CH 2); the VR(B) trim knob was used for trim, this feature
required a proportional mix of AUX 1 to AUX 1 (all five points programmed to -100%) to limit
the travel of the canard from level to up attitude on the trim knob VB(B) or slider control
VR(D).
Note: The canard trim control could be programmed to one of the side mounted slider
controls such as VR(D) for ease of access to be used to experiment with high AOA landings.
‰
CH 8 Aux 2 Nose gear steering (Mixed with CH 4); VR(A) was used for trim also Mixed with
CH 5; this channel is enabled with Retract Down only.
Step 19: CG and Control Throws
Set the Center of Gravity for 5 1/16” (130 mm) from of the leading edge of the wing panel at the
root. The CG should be determined with the UAT filled with fuel and with the gear in the
extended position. Battery positioning should be enough to achieve the correct CG location.
Note: To simplify the process of determining the CG the author created two plywood fixtures
that can be inserted between the wing panels and the fuselage, see photo 99. The Airframe
then can be lifted with a strap on the GC point to allow easy adjustments, see photo 100.
