My FLIP 3D with an OS FS-70 Ultimate engine is ready to fly. I experience some problems with the idle settings of the engine and I have not flown it yet. Its is weight is around 2.5 Kgs, a bit heavy I think but I have not added any extra weight rather than the engine which is heavier than a 40-50 sized one.

I would like to ask about the movements of the control throws and expo rates for the first flight and 3D later on. Can I use the ones of Madness I as indicated in CPLR's web site? Kyosho's manual seems a bit novice I think, it is like a toy manual for my little brother....:-). Also, I am using the following servos:

JR-4231 (6 Kgs) for Elevator, and JR-2235 (5 Kgs but very fast) for the rest (ailerons and rudder) are they good enough?

Anyway, any advice would be more than wellcome. Has anybody of you flown the plane with the OS FS-70 Ultimate engine? I chose it instead of the YS-63 because of its user friendliness but I think I made a wrong decision...I'll try to be optimistic...;-). Currently I have the choice of either using an APC 13x7 prop or a 14x4. Which one would be better for the Ultimate you think?

Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks and regards,

Nick
