Ignition cutoff enabled - here you can see the exterior red LED and the green LED on the cutoff transmitter module inside.







I also got the control servos set up - not really picture-worthy but direction, sub trim, end points, rates and expo are all set up.


I want to try the airbrake feature too... it will, of course, be tested three mistakes high... but I wasn't sure what to do with the elevator. I guessed that with the ailerons at the back of the wing and behind the CG, deploying the airbrakes would tend to raise the nose, so I added a little down elevator to counteract that. They're set to come on gradually so as to avoid sudden attitude changes.


Thoughts?
