If you don't do anything dramatic with the plane, you don't need the vectoring. Once you get into spins, flops and inverted harriers, it is absolutely essential to have the vectoring for recovery. A couple of us found it doesn't like to recover or recovers very slowly without the vectoring particularly with smaller engines. Vectoring makes the airplane overly sensitive for high speed flight and a hard pull at speed with it on might hurt the plane. I'd reommend having it on a switch.
Period, i'm going without the thrust vectoring for first few flights. Thanks Thud Driver.
Hey Airforce7, thats a beautiful picture of the Rookie with the smoke system will PM you for the smoke details. would love to have the smoke in my rookie too.
Hey, also i need your help in setup of my rookie with my JR 8 channel 3810 radio (I think in US market the radio was called JR 8103) Can i have all the controls in the elevon and canard mixing mode and with the airbrakes but without thrust vectoring. Or should i also invest on a new radio.
Thanks for the help.
