can it be tuned to become a fore plane or a scrub plane?

If your asking about a roughing plane for heavey wood removal yes. I watched the Woodwright Shop one morning and they addressed just this issue. Purchase a replacement blade regrind the front edge into a radius curve equivalent to an 8" radius. The way they proceeded was to draw a 8" radius on a piece of stiff paper. Us the line as a guide to regrind and sharpen the front edge of the blade to match the curvature. The angle of the gring is still as factory approximatley 25 degrees. This blade will cut center scoups allowing for thicker chunks to be removed. Adjustment of the mouth will be wider to allow thicker chunks to exit. Hope this helps and God bless.Joseph If your asking about a roughing plane for heavey wood removal yes. I watched the Woodwright Shop one morning and they addressed just this issue.

You can purchase additional plane irons for it and grind them to re-purpose the plane. For instance, by rounding the outside edges of the plane iron you can make a very nice scrub plane out of it.

A fore plane it is..just at a low angle..a scrub plane the angle is usually greater than 45 degrees I don't think it would make a good scrub plane.

Garrett Hack has a video at Fine Woodworking where he extols the versatility of this tool. He shows it's use as a scrub plane and as a smoother as well as a jointer for short edges. He suggests having two irons, one straight and the other cambered. Actually he is using the Lie-Nielsen tool but the Stanley is functionally the same.

You need at least a 3 ch receiver for the plane to match your TX - no ailerons so only need rudder, elevator, and motor control. I use mode 2 on my TX and use the aileron channel to the rudder servo. Great plane for both beginners and experts - if it is first plane or beginner use dual rates on controls set to 70% or lower to begin and don't use more than 1/2 throttle to launch - goes where pointed so start gently and be prepared to trim initial flight. Enjoy it!

Yes you can. With my setup i have the yoke, rudder pedals and two throttle quadrants and it works great!

not specifically, but maybe you could adjust accordingly by experimentation with settings

If you want the designed performance of you peripherals to function as they would in the aircraft, buy the equipment designed for such.You will enjoy the experience and avoid definite frustration from trying to RIG something. If $ is the issue I would suggest you buy the rudder peddles before the Cessna trim wheel or the multi panel. You can assign trim functions to the yoke thumb buttons.

Absolutely. I love it. It is finicky on tuning. But I would highly recommend it.

It's a strange program. I don't have a yoke and throttle, only a Joystick. That has a throttle on it. I have to go into the set up a lot to get it to work correctly. I think peddles would be a good add on if they work. The Cessna wants to go off the left side of the runway when you throttle up for take off. I suspect that is due to engine torque. I know when I fly a real Cessna, I have to use the rudder peddles which moves the rudder, to compensate for engine torque. Flying the heavy iron in the xplane program does't seem to have that problem. I wish there were some good directions on controls for each plane. How to program auto pilots,GPS, etc. It's a strange program. I don't have a yoke and throttle, only a Joystick. That has a throttle on it.

Yes, the DJI Assistant allows configuring for several variations. One of which is the tri-copter

Your question is too general for a simple "Yes/No" answer. I assume you are referring to the buttons and switches in the cockpit simulations? Firstly, it depends upon which aircraft simulation you are using - some of them, like the Cessna 172 are well-supported, and others have less complete support. Most of the commercially available plane simulations for X-Plane have very well-equipped simulations Then, what do you mean "do what they are supposed to do". Switches for flaps, and turning on an off lights etc normally are pretty realistic. Some of the more complex GPS navigational equipment is not 100% identical in function to the equipment in the real aircraft, but most normal users are unlikely to be affected by that. Most radio navigational equipment works as expected. Generally X-Plane cockpit simulations are pretty good.

I'm sure they would not do that. Jets are cheap, just order a couple sizes of pilot and main close to what you think it should be. They are simple to change out. Good luck.

I use the C.H.products flight sim yoke and rudder pedals.But my logitec extreme 3D pro joystick works well too.its is really what you personally prefer.joystick or flight yoke and pedals.

I would have to check but I sadly would not recommend this plane. The front handle fell off 2nd use. The adjustment is sloppy and awkward. The depth knob is not pinned on so if there is any tension such asa adjusting on the fly the knob backs off rather then adjusting the blade. It will produce good shavings but the repeatability is an issue.

do not see any settings as to such on the machinecan attest its abilities to sharpen well for planer blades is the best there is a learning curve for the process but once you get it going you can sharpen things fast goodluck

Sharon, I bought this plane and knew it was a horrible mistake. You will have to build the plane to figure out. There are no controls or electrical appliances to this plane. I would buy the Hobbyzone champ. Definetely worth the best buy.

You can shoot right throug it but it will always change the flight. What I did was shoot through then drill 1 size larger. Then istall a rubber washer drilled to size as the wipe.

Yes John... in fact I did that exact thing. You buy two pieces... place them side by side and change the knobs for multi engine aircraft... That way I have 2 red together, then 2 blue (in the middle for the proppellers) and final 2 blacks together (for the trohtlle). It´s amazing. I recommend it 100%. Eduardo /from Montevideo (Uruguay).

I don't think so but I've only done it for the Phantom 1. Personally, I wouldn't change out the motors or props on the Vision because they work really well.
