Hola, no esperaba gran cosa de este modelo. Pero no he conseguido conectar la emisora con el receptor de ninguna forma. Imagino que el mó*dulo receptor/variador está* roto, pues se queda parpadeando continuamente. Si lo llego a saber, compro un variador por si me pasaba esto, y usaba el receptor de mi emisora. Saludos.

Hola Salvador, pues segun el valor del paquete te lo paran o no (al menos eso tengo entendido). Me lo pararon, pero los de correos se encargan de todo y te cobran el IVA y los gastos de aduana, te llega a casa sin problemas. Suerte.

Hi Matthew, have you tried resoldering your bullet connectors? The other possibility is that you're overloading your speed controller, sometimes the mounting screws are too tight warping the rear motor mounting caseing causing the rear bearring to bind, the motor should turn freely.

Where can i get a brushless motor for this? I have one from years ago and i set it up to use a hyperion 2850 kv motor geared and worked great, but now it glitches like crazy and everything has been replaced but a motor and I CANNOT find a motor (inrunner or outrunner) to fit in the limited space! Does no one make a ~3000 kv 24mm dia, 2mm shaft with a weight of 50 grams, capable of 10 amps anymore??

Otherwise, why does this thing glitch so much? I cant imagine why the motor went bad or if it is, but what else could it be?

Does anyone know the prop size?
Thanks in advance
 majik01 2645 points
Prop has no markings but it is very close to a 9070 Reverse Pitch SlowFly prop which makes sense as it has a brushed gear drive system. Check out the multirotor section for the reverse pitch propellers.

I have bought the HK 30A brushed ESC, can I straight soldering the motor to the brushed ESC and connect to my my RX? If I use my own RX I only connect the servo to elev then I can control left n right.
 majik01 2645 points
The unit has a all in one RX-ESC unit with a proprietary 2.5 Ghz radio system. Using your own Radio Tx/RX/ESC will work but why stop there, why not convert to full brushless which will last longer and provide more power and flight time.

yes, because there says ARF but the descritipons says: Required: 8 x AA batteries (for the Transmitter) 800~1000mah 7.4v 2S Lipoly like all is included what do you think

Funcionaria si le cambio la vela x la otra que tienen de 2.15 cm?
Orlando Daniel  1 points - 3/19/2013
 
Muchas gracias Cleyton, tus respuestas me han sido de gran ayuda.
cleyton  5 points - 3/18/2013
 
Orlando, creo que va a quemar los 3s CES, además de que no caben dentro del compartimiento de la batería, como cambiar la esc, la radio y el motor, esta posibilidad existe, sólo tienen que observar el diámetro y la longitud del motor de modo que es posible usando la misma caja de cambios que está instalado en el parapente, y preferiblemente un brushlless motor. He buscado en Google para el futuro de caja de cambios en caso de rotura de la vela a llegar, y esto: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__15

Cleyton: Muchas Gracias por tu respuesta. La radio me da 200 metros de alcance, lo comprobé* alejando el Transmisor y funciona perfecto, hasta esa distancia. Alguien sabe si puedo utilizar una bateria Lipo de 11,1 voltios (3S) con este mismo motor y receptor? o quemarí*a todo? ¿*Y una baterí*a NiMh de 9,6 voltios? Desde ya muchas gracias en lo que puedan ayudarme. Caso contrario deberé* cambiar motor, ESC y radio. El tema es que voy a tener que desarmar todo. Orlando
 sidd232 646 points
3s va a quemar motor, si decides cambiar sistema a 3s deberas modificar todo el sistema de electronicos por uno que resista los 11 volts.
cleyton  5 points - 3/18/2013
 
Orlando, el problema debe ser el alcance de la radio, que es muy pequeño, me recomiendan cambiar la radio y esc para poner fin a este problema. Siga las sugerencias: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/sto

Compré* el producto desde Argentina y lo recibí* en perfectas condiciones, todo funciona ok. Vuela perfecto, responde excelentemente a los mandos. Solo que pareciera que le falta potencia, no puedo hacer que se eleve mas de 8 o 9 metros. Le doy potencia al má*ximo pero queda siempre a la misma altura. ¿*Como puedo solucionar esto?. Gracias.
 sidd232 646 points
sin cambiar a sistema de 3s para mejorar potencia usa batterias con mayor potencia de descarga como las nanotech 45c o mas.
Marciel  2 points - 3/17/2013
 
You put a esc for brushed motors, but you also have to put the receiver rx, because the original receptor already have the built-esc. It may be a esc 30A. Have here in the hobbyking store. The ideal is to put brushless kit complete with 2s battery
 sidd232 646 points
yes that's right, to make this aircraft brushless you'll need pretty much all electronics to be replaced,motor, esc, and reciever thus a radio too.
Steven  6 points - 3/16/2013
 
how do i modify my own esc and rx on this rc paraglider?
 sidd232 646 points
get a reciever from a complete radio system (not the stock one), this new radio must have "elevons" or delta wing programming capabilities just plug one servo to aileron, the another to elevator (with the mix already programmed in radio) and esc to the throttle channel, of course the other leads from esc go to motor, set it up as for movement (in case you need to reverse) and you are done.
 majik01 2645 points
sidd ... why use elevon or delta mixing? This only uses the yaw servo to turn and throttle to go up and down. What other servo would you connect on the other channel to and why mix rudder to aileron or aileron to elevator for that matter? Three channels will be perfect and two channels will work.

Olá* Cleyton,
Infelizmente a Hobbyking nã*o vende peç*as separadas deste modelo. Neste caso eu partiria para a adaptaç*ã*o de um motor brushless, assim como uma gearbox, mas para isso teria que pesquisar e ver o que existe no mercado que pode ser adaptá*vel.

ok, Obrigado!!!

do you have the p-glider-arf in the usa the shipping from china is verry expensive im ready to buy this unless i can get a shipping discount they quoted around $30 if i can pay around $15 i can purchase this
MICHAEL  2 points - 2/16/2013
 
Thats what happens when you use a 3 cell battery when the maker says use a 2 cell you run into Problems...
 sidd232 646 points
for this case since the motor seems to be brushed a 3s would burn esc and motor, so stay with 2s. If it was brushless it would fly with 3s with proper throttle management.

Olá* Rafael,
Infelzmente o Range do radio é* muito pequeno... somente 15 metros.... Se vc possui outro rá*dio , sugiro que compre um receptor parkfly mais potente e troque o sistema de RX/TX.

Se vc nã*o possui outro sistema de RX/TX, vc pode verificar aqui no site mesmo... existem opç*õ*es excelentes da linha ORANGE que vã*o certamente resolver seu problema.

Grande abraç*o!

2 thumbs up!
Got this para-glider to take off from the ground. Surprisingly tough given the rough landings. The wheels pop out but are easy to put back on for the next flight.

Just got it yesterday. Over all it looks nice but it feels all too fragile. Maybe it will fly ok and I'll not break it on first landing.
One complaint I have is that kit is missing servo horn. Can't fly it before I figure out what to install instead. Other then that good value for money I guess.

Endless fun, with 1000mah battery I get 13-15 minutes of flying. This paraglider can take a beating! I have managed to do a loop one time, I have tangled it up at twice the height of the football stadium light posts and slammed it into the ground with only a broken prop, hit barbed wire, poles, fences, people (me! Stitches in my hand :( ). One thing you need to know is the prop will push into the motor housing and the gear drive will be chewed out if not careful a simple homemade spacer will suffice I can upload images if anyone needs. Best fun i've had. Also this can carry heaps of weight e.g. camera, soon I will try FPV. PS I have bought 3 (2 for spares encase they stop manufacture)
