no, but why spend so much on something that isn't as capable

its not THAT expensive

I wouldn't buy a Radian either

I guess I don't like foam sailplanes

I wouldnt mind a radian pro

oh when i was a young pup

I caught my first thermals

on a foam sailplane

I've heard the radian pro is not as good as the regular radian

i twas called teh cox double eagle

I only got started with RC earlier this year

www.rcgroups.com : Cox Double Eagle NIB - RC Groups

i've been flying sailplanes for a while

started when i was a kid

now i have 2

I'm trying to pack in what I missed in my childhood :P

a 2.5 meter jk thermic

and a 2 meter gentle lady

I asked for an RC plane for Christmas for years in a row and never got one

the gentle lady acording to anyoen who knows gliders sucks

but it sucks so bad its awesome

lol

it has a flat bottom airfoil

very high lift very slow

very light

garrisonaerodrome.com : The Push-E Cat from Garrison Aerodrome

this was the plane I had on my christmas list

want to build one eventually if I could ever get someone to cut the foam for me (or cut it myself)

KeyserSoze3D,

all the connecore were right

male to female

www.youtube.com : Learning to fly my Gentle Lady RC Sailplane - YouTube

that has 0 cruise

but what it does is climb in a mouse fart

wht is not wrth making antnnas?

lol

you know how with a higher performance sailplane you can blow right through a thermal

with the lady

you don't blow through anything

it won't even make it through the other side

lol

KeyserSoze3D,

so whats the issue if all the pins are fine

well you could have some interference

with what

check your range with the motors off

well

the speed controllers and motors

if i change the antenna leafs

like bend them

it gets better

or worse

yeah

you can get really long flights with a gentle lady without circling

just fly back and forth through a thermal

LOL

anyway I like light and floaty more than clean and penetrating

hheh

vlcn my second sailplane

www.rcgroups.com : NIB House of Balsa Two Tee Sailplane Kit - RC Groups

a 2 tee

it has a great feature on hard landings the T tail would fall off

lol

so KeyserSoze3D

how can i bend the antenna so its best signal?

shaun413, If you are really intested in making your own atennas I'd suggest you get reading

what kind of quad 250?

do i need swr meter?

zmre

zmr

250

no

?

i doubt its your antenna

why

I've used ebay antannas

and got more than 50 feet

as I said

i get plenty more than 50 feet

it just gets lines

oooooooh

always

depending on what the lines look like that's not completely unexpected

if the lines are constant that's almost certainly an issue with dirty power

vimeo.com : IBCrazy's FPV "New system" - Cloverleaf demo on Vimeo

aint anywhere near this good

the lines come with range

sounds pretty normal to me

try it without the motors running

just walk away from it

uh ok

reason why

how would i fix it though

a power filter

well its 12 v

esc's are noisy

also, routing your wiring more carefully and/or relocating components

as are motors

so i dont have it filtered

yeh

my wiring is a mess

do you have your power cables

runnign near your video cables

touching

its a PDB

really you want your vtx well away from everything else

if you can

well my vtx is right by my battery leads

and cable

whch pdb

overcraft

when i have a video problem

the first thing i do

is take the power system out of the equation

how?

you cant fly without powa

you do't

you set your plane down

and walk away from it

or your quad

ok?

then i check connections

qll connections seem gud

solder links

make sure not to have power wires over signal wires

but you can have a motor with a bad bearing

putting out interference

heh

or a crappy esc

well

umm

the power wires are over the signal wires?

ofc

what do you mean

well I have wires that run from my battery to my ESC

and have wires that run from camera to my osd to my vtx

I dont wan tthe motor wires

well its all on a pdb?

yeah

so all you can have is

bad hardware
