Default RE: 4* 40 construction issue

dual rated Tx computers r nice.
the way my control throws on semi bash 4 *s are way beyound plan's
recommendations on high rates. on low rates it's mild use for take off and landings.
i usually slow the plane down and do fly by a couple of times
to let my speed perception adjust before attempting landings.

you'll start noticing ground effects more on a low wing verse a high
wing. a coushion of air between the wing and ground during landings or
flairing. i over shot at first. the plane seems to want to keep on flying
more than my trainer, at first.

if you don't have a dual rate TX , set the throws low at first.
Then work yourself up as you get more comfortable with the plane
be increasing the throw or setting the CG back.

you'll start noticing your dead leftthumb as you pratice aerobics.
