Default RE: Another Impact bites the dust

CG is set per instruction with battery pack (yes, I'm still using Ni-Cad) as far forward as possible right behind the floor exhaust opening, I'm using two Futaba 9650 on the tail. Wing and stab incidence first set at zero/ zero, I ended up with very slight negative incidence. Might not be suitable for all, but that's the way I like it for both upright and inverted.

I have the following mixes, 3% on thr to down ele, 5% thr to left rudder, 2% left rudder to up ele, 1% right rudder to down ele. As for rudder to aileron mixes, 3% on one side and 2% on the other side.

I am using a condition on my elevator stick. I normally fly with very little elevator, but, when I give it full elevator, it increases aileron, but decreases rudder throw. With my Smaragd, both the snap and spin stops on a dime. But with this one, I still haven't quite master the snaps yet. Eventhough I had over 100 snaps, it stil looks real funky, guess I have to keep playng with the throws.
