Default RE: 40% power setup

I would stay at 6V. The only reason I went to a higher voltage is an attempt to squeeze every last bit of performance out of the airplane. In a couple of weeks I may find that there really was no benifit to running 6.5V and all I did was increase the wear of the geartrain. Being that I compete in at least 6 contests a year I will try different setups and flying styles during the winter to see just works the best with the upcoming seasons sequence. By the first contest of the year I am usually pretty comfortable with my setup and tend to leave things alone and fly as consitantly as I can. This years sequence however has some oddities to it that is making the ideal setup difficult to get. So far the best I can do is to be clicking to different rates throughout the sequence.
