thanks for the info, helps alot, mine balances around 5-5&1/4 with no weight, i am going to leave it there, i see some people go back even farther and say it still lands nice, no balooning, i am hoping to get out this coming weekend for its maiden flight, i have a satio 100 in it, should be good i think, we are around 5000' so thats why i think i needed a bigger motor, what are you running that it is so light in the front??
and i do feel comfortable with the dual rate switch, i have a yak, had an edge and a funtana in the past, so i set those up the same way, 3d rates and usually ended up between recomended low rate and high rate for my low rate, i use expo too, that helps...this will be my 1st fat wing type floater, i am looking forward to seeing how she flies...
