Default RE: Gaudius

Had a successful maiden (for me at least) with my Gaudius on Saturday! This is my first 2m and this plane flies so nice. I found myself over-controlling it a little at first, but after a few flights it felt real good. All control surfaces are perfectly neutral but I did add a 3% throttle to elevator mix at idle for the downlines. I found using the break on landings helped it settle in; used a low idle throughout the sequence.

I'm using 2 Turnigy 5S 5A packs and used 50% fuel after a 5.5 minute flight, and only was pulling about 30mAh from the receiver battery per flight.

Now I need to practice practice practice!
