Boys, boys!

There are as many different ways to set up a plane as there are people that own them. Each has their own preferences in equipment and electrical arrangements. I'm not going to begin to try and cover all of them, but what I will do is set the plane up the way I normally would to suit the way I prefer to fly. There has never, I repeat never, been anyone that did not like the way my planes and installations performed. Some may have thought the control sensitivity was too touchy or too soft, but all have liked the way they flew. From kit builts and bashes to ARCs and ARFS there has not been a complaint.

I am not going to use a choke servo since I believe it introduces an additional level of risk that outweighs it's increase in safety. I don't have a programmer and I am not going to run out and buy one for 5 servos. For me the use of Hitec products again is a giant step and one that I'm taking with extreme caution. Matchboxes have worked for me as long as I have used them, which is since they first came on the market. As for transmitter mixing and programming, I don't have time to keep up with every change in transmitter software that comes every other day. Between changes in programming at work, various transmitters where a manufacturer cannot seem to carry the same logic from model to model, servo programmers which have been well illustrated to be critical in the way they are used, and home computer updates and ungrades a person can spend their entire remaining life doing nothing but learning changes in software. I have other things to do more important.

If anyone has the impression that I'm developing a burr under the saddle they're probably right.
