Here's a neat trick for the guys still stuck on the resolution issue...I have been building two sets of control surfaces for my planes. One is undersized, for IMAC precision. The other is oversized, for 3D. Each surface is all set-up, with the servos attached. To switch from one to the other, I remove the hinges and swap the servo/control assemblies as a unit. Since I use Matchboxes, I plug the second surface into the remaining ports in the matchbox, which are pre-programmed for that particular surface. It takes about 3 minutes to convert my plane from ultra-precise IMAC to hot-dog 3D.
That's a cool idea, and with some recent experiences in breaking a hinge, it isn't a bad idea to have removable surfaces on normaly setup airplanes.
