Default RE: Venus II

9 lbs. seemed heavy so I re-checked as I have a spring scale which wasn't perfectly zeroed, and was holding the plane upright on the spinner and felt I might have been pushing down a little. The more accurate weight is 8lbs 14 oz. Still, a little heavy.

I could have shaved some weight by using carbon landing gear, forgetting the wheel pants, going with a smaller servo for the throttle and a lighter lithium ion battery pack instead of the monster NMh I used. But I'll see how it feels first.

Question: I have to hook up the two elevator servos to a seven channel Spektrum AR7600 receiver with a X9303 JR radio. Which channels do I use, and how do I setup the radio for the elevators? Thanks in advance.
