Sounds like experienced advice to me. I think I'll go ahead and add the weight and work up to things slow.

Should I use the dual rate low and high throws as recommended in the instructions? or should they be lower than that.

I'll set-up the "3D" max throws on an alternate aircraft program for safety yet still be able to "try" them.

As long as I'm thinking of it. Are you guys able to hover with the OS 1.60 and how much reserve do you have??? We were hoping these 2500s will have enough power but I know they are not as powerful as the OS. So, if the OS can't do it then I have a good idea what the 2500s will do.

I'll try to get some pre-flight pics in the next day or so. We've decided to forgo graphics and pilots and such until we find out if were happy with the planes.

Thanks,
Mike
