I'll try to catch up here.

First--Bob--as is normal with me and nitro, I didn't get to fly the new plane yet. Rain and electronics don't play well together. I'm hoping the weather will be clear this weekend so I can get the C30 up too. Congrats on the pro. I haven't actually flown one myself, but from what I've seen it's a totally new animal.

Ghaws--in order to use JR equipment you'll have to replace the receiver half of the 4-in-1 with a positive shift. The stock Rx is compatable with Futaba and Hitec.

Roundrobin--welcome to the insanity. Tighten the blades only to the point that if you rap them with a finger they move about two inches. Too loose and they just flop up and down. Too tight and they won't track. Also do yourself a huge favor and get a good simulator. Both Realflight and FS One are $169 right now, they will save you a fortune in replacement parts and psychiatric care.
