Default RE: Showtime

Got three more 15 min flights in today, now I am at 23% spoileron and this (for me) seems to be just about right. Slow knife edge circles and some good harrier action, but still cannot do a 180 in a harrier with the rudder (It will snap if too much rudder)

The YS 1.20 is a good match for the plane at my altitude good power a real crowd pleaser (no muffler or header pipe, open at the head) (long story).

It is flying better, as time goes on. I am getting more "stick time" and trimming with each flight. I only have about 47 more flights and it should be trimmed out.

I set my radio for three flight modes. 1- moderate 3-D, take off and landing, harriers. 2- higher rates same expo for the wall and rolling circle and rolling harrier, elevator. 3-Flip and Hover mode, good for Waterfall, blender and flat spins, full deflection less expo( cannot recover in this mode). I did not have time to program and try flaperons in this outing. I will program this week and try out next time.
