Thanks, Lee. An excellent example of one of the changes we make when we scale down and R/C an airplane like a DRI. Flying a full scale Triplane is much closer to what you experienced without the centering spring in your transmitter.
But this really isn't a "scaling problem" at all. It's a problem of using different technology on the model than is used on the full-scale. On the other hand, I agree completely the Lee that the technology of our transmitters makes our job a lot easier. The self-centering is a good example as is the availability of trim, not to mention such exotic computer features as mixing and throttle curves.
