Default RE: Mix Elevator with Throttle for Scale Flight?

To be totally honest with you, that's something I wouldn't be comfortable mixing in. There are times that my want to give a throttle increase without having the elevator changing. IMHO there are times that could really cause more problems than it fixes. What this really boils down to is flying a scale plane. There are lots of small things like that that we "could" program into the radio, but "should" we? The way I look at it adding in a little up elevator in certain circumstances is simply a part of flying the plane. So in that case you need to weigh in what you was a pilot wants. Since I don't always want elevator with a throttle increase, then for me I wouldn't make that programming change. In your case you are going to have to look at the way you fly and make that decision on your own. If it's something that won't cause a problem for you as you fly, then you can sure try it. And if you don't like it you could take it back out. But like I said, it's not something that I would do for my own flying.<div>
