Get all you can.

You also may want to move the CG back, it helps to make the plane come alive... But move it a little at a time so its still controllable.

All the rudder and aileron you can get.

Be carful on the elevator. That plane does not have much surface, so you need alot of deflection for 3D. Too much deflection on that plane, it gets squirrley.

Just pull easy on downlines. Pull to hard with 3D deflection and the plane will snap, pull again, snap, again, snap all the way to the ground. Most people claim the got hit, when this happens.

Thanks for the information. I can get some extreame throws on all flying surfaces and I guess thats what you are telling me. The more the better.EXCEPT on elevator. Is it better to use 2 servos for the rudder vs 1 on a pull-pull.

John, thanks for the advise. I watched your videos and they are great. can you tell me what servos you are using and if you are using 6 volts. I noticed when you go from a straight line to verticle for the Hover, the movement is very quick. I am using a 3.2 for my patty Wagstaff X300 and can't get that quick movement. I am using 4.8 volts and Hitec 625bb on the elevator.

Ken
