"If you want to draw a true curve, you would need to do a throttle to throttle mix in PMIX 6 or 7 and adjust the points there as needed."

Status: offline 		next, link up and hinge the ailerons.

Started with making the bottom of the phelonic (Sp.) control horns rougher by rubbing them down with a low grit sandpaper.

Status: offline 		Ian, just checking on your progress. I was with Chris in Toledo this year and he had one there. I really liked the few improvements he made on this versus the successful 68" version. I admire your desire to electrify, I might go with a YS160 but boy are they thirsty.
