Re: Fumotec 490
Thank you, hopefully when the windows are in it'll look a little more finised

Re: Fumotec 490
A few pictures of my cab, the window edges painted black before glueing the windows in.

I still need to finish this off the black edging sticker supplied with the kit https://i.ibb.co/BnVVP5x/IMG-20190620-195532.jpg |
Re: Fumotec 490
Upgraded my Graupner gimbals for 4D versions, will give me the ability to use the aux functions now. A fairly cheap and simple upgrade although fairly nerve racking opening up a graupner radio :rolleyes:

Re: Fumotec 490
Those gumball controls look like they'd be nice to have. Much easier to use than the stock sticks, I'd think.

Re: Fumotec 490
Looking good Calum, you have everything working to your liking now?

Re: Fumotec 490
I think so Joe, haven't got many hours on it so far. My only problem is the stick cylinder - I can't decide if its faulty or not. It doesn't seem to have much power but maybe I'm expecting too much from it?
Whats the digging power of your 490 like? Calum |
Re: Fumotec 490
I have my pressure turned down to 18bar, I dig in cultivated soil & it won't pull the model off its perch... if the stick with is pulling the model around, the pressure is too high... but with 14mm cyl bores on this model I don't think it's possible anyway... what do have your pressure set to?
Keep in mind raising/lowering pressure will greatly affect reaction speed too. |
Re: Fumotec 490
It's set to around 22bar, I'm not trying to dig up my garden or anything extreme. Just I feel it should have a little more power?
I don't have anything to compare it so maybe it's okay. Certainly digging sand it managed easily Calum |
Re: Fumotec 490
Adjustable by remote?
Nice details, btw :) |
Re: Fumotec 490
Yes, servo operated - bit of head scratching trying to get it to run smoothly.. :rolleyes:
