Hi Chip,
I guess that's just a "me" thing having to flip more switches. I "fly" through all of my maneuvers so the only switch I was flipping before was for my snaps and spins to activate high rate aileron and elevator. My rudder was / is always at its max throw (as needed for that airplane and not the total amount of travel allowed) and I just adjusted with Expo. I don't use a snap button or condition (I only have the 10 CAP and it doesn't have conditions (read price $499)). Maybe most folks have the 12 or 14 channel radio and can use these. So...I only flipped a switch for 3 maneuvers in my sequence and flew through everything else.

With the Split Rudder (and at least with the 10 channel) I have to remember to make sure "full rudder" is on for takeoff/landing, stall turns, snaps, spins and split rudder is on for the rest of the time (point rolls horizontally/vertically, 45's).

I'm sorry if I confused people but for me, it's a ton more but BUT, well worth it when you see how this aircraft presents. It's just a new thing to learn, not a deterrent from this plane.

Maybe you should come back to Texas for a spell and we'll go out to the field. I have no doubt you can teach me a better way to do the same thing with the radio I have. It's the only way I could figure out to make this work. I've just always flown through things and tried not to be dependent on the radio but I'm willing to learn
