RE: power cut during flight?

Taking a guess here....if you are using a Phoenix 25 speed contoller it has a glitch in the older models that will not arm on every 8th try.

RE: 3 channel control preferences

RE: Fan Fold Or Depron

I read somewhere here that Depron is called by a different name in the U.K. You may want to look into that first if you have no luck finding "depron".

RE: E-flite Ascent maiden

Putting about 1/4-3/8" washout on wingtips is easy and well worth it for the ascent. I cannot tip stall mine, even if I try now. It will do real tight circles with full (3/4") rudder throw. Here...
