It only took me a few minutes to correct this issue after I downloaded the ESC manual from the Hobbywing website. The ESC’s brake function must be enabled in order for the folding propeller to work correctly. It comes equipped with a Hobbico Star Plug (), which is also compatible with Deans Ultra Plugs ().
The motor is controlled by a Hobbywing SkyWalker () 30-amp ESC. It provides quick climbs and moderate aerobatics. The motor now runs vibration free.Ī 1,200 Kv brushless motor is included with the model. Just be sure to loosen the yoke after you’ve finished balancing. It helps to lightly tighten the propeller yoke to prevent the blades from folding back. It was slightly off balance, which I was able to correct by adding tape to the light blade. I also placed the propeller in my Du-Bro () propeller balancer. One wrap of tape around the propeller adapter shaft fixed that problem. I removed the propeller and found that the yoke did not fit tightly on the propeller adapter. I noticed a slight vibration when I performed a test run-up. A 2-inch spinner blends the propeller assembly with the fuselage. The Funter’s power system consists of a 1,200 Kv brushless motor spinning an 8 x 6 folding pusher propeller. I wasn’t so diligent at first and nearly lost a wing panel on an early flight. Make sure that you tighten the clamps adequately and give the wing a pull test. The wing panels are secured by tightening clamps that grip the spar. I wanted to keep my Funter as simple as possible, so I decided against the flaps.Įach wing panel slides into place over a carbon-fiber spar. Origin Hobby even offers the necessary hardware (minus the servos) in a set for $2.50 (Part #300315). As long as you have a spare radio channel, you’ll just need to provide two additional 9-gram servos and control linkages to implement this feature. There is an option to split the ailerons and use the inner surfaces as flaps.

In stock form, the ailerons are nearly the full span of each wing panel. This cut down on wire clutter and also allowed me to trim each aileron individually. I omitted it and connected each servo to a separate channel on the receiver. Final assembly is a quick process.Ī Y harness is included for the aileron servos. This receiver easily fit in the suggested location. I used a Tactic TTX850 transmitter () and TR625 receiver. The only required radio gear is a four-plus-channel transmitter and receiver. The included manual guides you through the necessary steps. Because most of the power system and radio components are factory installed, there is little assembly work required to make the Funter airworthy. This kit is made primarily of molded foam parts. Depending on your mood, you can exercise either capability (or both) on any given flight. While it has respectable glide performance, it is also a sport model that will crank out impressive aerobatics. > Be careful before you label the Origin Funter as just a powered glider.
