Default RE: What can you do to an ARF 4*60

Flew my Dad's a bunch, and he was bored and built me one from a kit, so mine has red and red transparent covering.
Running a Magnum 91FS.
Only change I made off stock config is to use flaperon setup on my Polk radio.
I link flaps to elevator for normal flying with 100% opposite throw to the flaps when elevator is moved.
On landing my landing mode switch commands 100% up aileron on both sides as spoilers.
Drops real smooth toward the deck with no speed gain, regardless of wind. If you are going to be short,
pulling up elevator raises the nose a bit and drops off some of the spoiler and you can extend the glide as
long as needed.

I use the same flaperon config on 2 kit bashed sticks as well and love the whole flap coupling thing.
Swithcing everything over to a Hitec Optic 6 soon, as the mixes are far cooler than the polk for less money
