RE: Why is AFPD avoiding the Question?
RobT the answer is yes. Right out of the box, contrary to what one of the guys at IKARUS USA (in Florida) told me. There was no other interface controller as MudSurfer thought there might be, but then again I am sure he is right if an alternate version is ordered. To help, I will look at the box and give you the actual part number that I ordered.
It is a:
#302100136 AFP Deluxe l.V. with free Fuaba+JR Adaptor.
Rob just as you pointed out before, this adapter converts from a 3-ring stereo style jack to a two ring mono style jack. The install and set up went fairly easy. A little spooky on how to calibrate, but overall not bad.
Rob I actually signed in tonight to find and ask you and MudSurfer your opinion's on some fairly basic stuff. It appears you both have been at this a while, and I am only about 3 weeks into the Hobby. This Saturday I had a real milestone day, in that it was the first time I ever flew my batteries dead, and did not break something, no crashes and 2 out of five tries I actually landed on the runway of our RC field. I still have some trouble finding the runway. For a while there I would have been willing to crash my plane into ithe runnway just to say I had brought it down on it.
Well the question I have is basic enough to make me blush, but I have just got to find out where the elevator trim should be set. Should it be set to fly the plane level at 1/2 throttle? Or should it be set so that the plane lifts off the ground on takeoff at full throttle. Or is it set one way at take off and then modified in the air? I am going to post this as it's own thread, but I really kind of wanted to get both your points of view. MudSurfer you may have misjudged my character, but something tells me you really know how to fly. No hard feelings here, I really was laying so much whine out there, that I probably should have been serving some cheese with all that wine. :-) I look forward to your guy's input.
