140H Grader

Awesome job. Smooth as silk. I looked at both videos, guess there is a little tweaking to do?? It'll be nice to see it in some loose dirt; watch it roll up a nice windrow.

Thanks guys for the kind words. Yes,i have a little tweeking to do and learn how to drive it . I only have one switch that is spring-loaded. It would be nice if all the controls were, but I am happy that i have gotten this far. I may get a chance this wknd to put it in some loose dirt and see what happens.

Again, thanks all!

Learning to drive is difficult, but soooo much fun

As you saw, I modified my transmitters' controls for my grader, maybe you could do something similar (it's really not difficult).

But what do you mean with "switch" - aren't you operating most of the functions with proportional sticks?

Cheers

Jens, I am using an Airtronics 10G.....U can assign the functions to any channel that suites your desire. Here is how I have mine cnfigured:

Elev stic=circleboard rotation
Aile stic=Steering
Rud stic=Pump
Thr stic=Throttle

8 different (3 pos switches) that are mixed with the rudder channel to control the pump. The pump only operates when I move a selected function.
Of those 8, only one is spring-loaded....the others are on-stop-on
