CG at 24-25cm is a good starting point. Jamie adjusted the Breitling as he flew it. I'll measure tomorrow to see where it ended up at. I'll also puts the control throws and transmitter settings we ended up with including expo's etc although this would be to personnal taste.

Wiped the Tx memory when the Aurora went. I played with and tweaked the set up quite a lot, did not record the settings. Ian may be able to measure it on the Breitling one.

Take off flap 1.5"
We didn't use any up elevator mix for landing. Jamie flew it in but as he says down mix could be used

Set EXPO at 35%

New project on the drawing board. We're calling it the camel but the designers have got the hump so it's being put on the back burner!!
