I tend to fly by myself way up here in Northern Canada so I'll admit I get nervous at the big jet events. It affects my comfort level. Things I usually breeze through get a bit difficult when the pressure of 100+ people behind me all watching comes into play. So I'm going to use a Cortex to take some of the edge off. I completely understand that some "veteran" pilots think of this as cheating but frankly I'm not out to impress. I'm out to fly and enjoy it. End of story.

I just picked up a Cortex for my F-16 1/8th Tams and I was hoping you guys could tell me what kind of gain you are using on your cortex to start out? I'm using a Jeti DC-16 radio as well. Just a baseline so that I can get used to it would be great. Thanks for anything you can tell me.
