RE: my girlfriend got me an Evo 50!
Looking forward to hearing the flight reports. A buddy of mine just maidened his Sceadu 50 with an O.S. 50 Hyper and Spektrum DX7. He couldn't figure out how to get the gyro in HH mode with the DX7, and he found it was a pain to hover without it, (plus he's really new and too stubborn to let me help him get it trimmed). So, it didn't do much.
Maybe you can get us a video of your maiden flights?
