Introduction In the previous two posts I examined the Varioprop 6 R/C model airplane PWM transmit signal and simulated it in Scicoslab. In this post I test the Transmitter to Receiver link on CB Citizens Band CH19 27.145MHz and confirm correct operation of the Rudder/Elevator/Engine Speed controls. Test Setup Figure 1 shows the Varioprop 6… Continue reading R/C Varioprop 6 Signal Tx/Rx Decode_b

Introduction In the previous post I fired up my Varioprop 6 R/C transmitter and examined the transmit signal. The model aircraft control works by using PWM Pulse Width Modulation for the Rudder, Elevator and Engine Speed. There are 4 pulses; one for each control and for carrier sync. The width of each pulse is a… Continue reading R/C Varioprop 6 Signal PWM Scicos Simulation

Introduction I have always been interested in model aircraft and while on a trip to Europe in 1970, I purchased a Graupner R/C remote control plane kit. I took my time building it so as not to make a mistake. Several years later I bought the remote control gear. I never flew the plane since… Continue reading R/C Varioprop 6 Signal Decode_a
