Hi Don ! I am the guy that was flying the Aresti at the Nats im Victor Diaz D3 Bbq camp... I was having trouble with my engine and you offered to lend me a YS 140... how's everything ? I usually practice on the sim during daytime before 1 pm due to my schedule at work and on Sun-Mon on evenings... hopefully we can get a practice session together some time !

Hey Crashlander how are you doing ? I got my Phoenix at Graves, it even comes with a fully functional Spektrum 5 transmitter. You can also use your radio and I believe the adapter was included. I paid $130 a couple years ago and the latest version is 3.XX. Updates are free and so are aircraft downloads. There are a couple of pattern planes , I am flying with the Integral which is tweaked to perform more like my Onas...

Going on now tonight for about 15 minutes. A routine schedule is tough around work and kids activities- homework and etc. Snow this weekend maybe some then.

Thanks Neil, the view I had was making me dizzy! I actually increased the weight of my plane from 8.5 to 10.5 lbs and it flies more like what I experience in real life.

(The search feature is pure junk on this site )

Would someone mind sharing one of their Variants? I'd love to see what a plane feels like that was optimized by someone who's actually flown a 2M pattern plane.

I've got my Integral tweaked so it looks just as bad as my Wind110, lol. I can share it too, if someone wants to see how much I've hacked up the plane.

BTW, anyone see you can change the sound and stuff? Now flying an e-powered Integral, before wasn't using it 'cause I wanted to fly an electric plane
