No crow used in the video. I have it programmed in but in the video it was calm winds and it slowed up very well even with no crow so I don't think it will be needed.

I'll measure my flap throw and post it.

I haven't flown it since the video but I plan to move it back a little more. I'll post final CG settings. Factory numbers were nose heavy for my taste. Eg I started with both Rx and the ECU battery in nose and have moved the ECU pack to mid canopy. Still pitches down on inverted 45 degree upline more than I would like.

I've got the PBS 230N turbine and I start the 7 minute timer when I'm ready to start takeoff roll and land with nearly half a tank left when I shut down turbine. Mixed throttle flying. So 9 minute flight is likely where I'll end up.
