Philly, you are confusing me...
i get that alot lol
first throws. with 140% ATV and the standard horns i was getting the full 3D rate, all be it at a slow speed. with the Du-bro horns i was getting EXTREAME!!!!!!! rates so i had the idea to take the ATV down, with the travel now being 80% not 140% the effective speed picked up, i know this reduces the force and resilution ( 80 steps instead of 140 ) but i have 5kg, and if The Boy is doing ok with 3.5kg then i must now be about there. The longer arms also give me the option of going past 3D rates ( plus i didn't want to not use them ) comming in a hole would bring me back to the standard JR horns again.
Mixing.... i have no intention of mixing ailerons, flaps ect, but if i give my elevator as much throw as poss i'm going to have about 170 degrees movement, this is way over recomended 3D rate, therefore i don't want that to be my high rate ( would make normale 3D flying very hard ), but switchable. the only way i know to do that is use the airbrake switch, make it not do flaps, but mix it to elevator, hit the switch, elevator goes up. only i want control over it, so i want to hit a switch to take me into yet another rate, so i have low, high and mental ( elevator only ) i have no idea if this is possible with a FF8, but i'm going out in a min, so i'll find out

horns are in my flight box, so i can always go back to standard horns and 140% if i find 80% isn't good enough.

later guys, lets hope the mist dosn't come back
