Default 9 cap questions

Hi mystar, a bug, whether software or hardware, is defined as an error that results in the product not being able to function exactly as it was originally intended to. I do not consider what you stated above as bugs but rather a GIGO phenomenon i.e. Garbage In Garbage Out. The "v-tail" bug was genuine as it effected the ability of advanced v-tail gliders to perform the butterfly with elevator compensation but that has been fairly resolved by Futaba. An analogy of GIGO is like driving a car fast and suddenly engaging reverse gear to stop the car. Well, one could have used the brakes as this is what it was originally intended for. Engaging the reverse gear at high speed is something that you CAN do in any car, just like you can set the countdown timer to 0:00, but this is operating the product outside its intended purpose and naturally results in some form of anomaly or damage. Just my 2C worth...............
