RE: TF Contender
I can just see it now: People all over town reporting seeing a buzzing UFO. lol
As I've said before, I am just learning to fly. Maybe 5 10 minute flights to date. Work makes it so hard for me to get to the field. (26 miles away). I am using a 8103 with my trainer and I dialed in 20% expo, but my instructor said no. He wanted me to learn with no expo for now. He did not want me to get used to "throwing" the stick around on a trainer and then when I got to the Contender or Super Decathlon having a hard time. He said they would appear super sensitive.
I listen to him, because he has demonstrated that he is a very capable flyer. Even those in our club who fly at competitive meets respect him and the advice he gives.
I know he will encourage me to use expo and dual rates when he thinks I am ready on my other two. (When I get them built)
Fortunately, my second job (home business) will slow down until spring, and the weather here is nice on some weekends throughout the fall and winter. So, I'm just biting my nails and going when I can. I want to solo this winter.
