I fly around at about 1/2 stick on my K142, I think you are going planning to use a JM 160?

I’m also running K142 with Jeti setup very close to yours. I have a 3S2100 LiFe turbine battery in the nose just in front of the nose gear, the other two batteries 2S1800 LiPo are in the tray...

Given that the JM 120 weights the same I’d go with the 140, but either will fly nicely.

I’ve had great luck ordering directly from Adrian at Electron in Spain, usually get delivery in less than a week. Jag RC is also good to work with, but they usually don’t have stock of what I’m...

I watched Jonathan’s video, it was impressive troubleshooting. I’ve got few extra receivers laying around, I think I’ll play around with the different modes so I can better understand it. BTW, I’m...

I just was providing the Electron numbers as a reference, the JP will be different, but probably higher than the 1.0 Amp you current have set in the LGC 15. If your nose retract is working reliably...

Sounds like you need to increase the amperage cutoff a little. For reference, the older Electron motors (EVo40 size) are set to 1.2 amps, the newer Classic motors run at 2.2amps shutoff. I bought an...

I recommend you watch some of Harry Curzon’s videos before making a decision on Clone vs. Double path as clone mode has implications on telemetry. -Tom

I’m also running Electron ER40 retracts, using a Savox 0220mg(hv) on nose steering with the LGC15 gyro controller. 25 flights on combo of grass and pavement, working well so far.

You have to send email and ask for them. I could not find them on the website either.

I ordered the graphics for my Red Launch scheme, may she rest in peace, not my Yellow Cayman scheme.

I have flown them with both the K142 and the Xicoy X120. The K142 jet has a 4L tank, the X120 has a 3L tank so it’s about 1Kg lighter than the K142 jet. I have flown the X120 version off grass, no...

I did not do the upline 45 maneuver yesterday, in hindsight I should have. Like you, most of my flying was < 1/2 stick. I also agree that 8# difference makes the Rebel much easier to lift:) Regarding...

I had something similar happen to me years ago, fortunately it was not one of my jets. Did you forget the wing retention bolts?
