Default RE: GP Gee Bee R2 ARF

I have tried expo and I hesitate to use it large percentages as it diminishes the available trim movement as well as this plane reacts quite differently in pitch when on high power verses low power settings.

However, I went back to the field on Sunday and programed in an additional 15% expo on the Elevator (now at 35%) and increased my throws back to the "origianl" 5/8" U & D.

The landings where significantly better in pitch control.

I then proceeded to program 50% expo on the elevator and went back to 1/2" U & D max throw and I now have a very smooth transition from flair to wheel landings on grass with plenty of available elevator to prevent nose over tendencies.

With this setting, I'm very please now with the ENTIRE flight envolope.

All other throws are per the manual. (Rud -1" Ail.-7/8")

Best of luck to all. You will lbe very pleased with this very unique airplane.[sm=thumbup.gif]
