Default RE: C-ARF Flash - tips ?

Hi i3dm

I've been flying mine with a P80 and it's more than adequate if you fly from a sealed strip. If you fly off grass you will probably need the P120. I started with the control throws at about 50% of what the manual indicated as they looked too extreme to start with. The flaps are questionable, generally if there's a bit of wind I dont use then for take off or landing. Only in dead still conditions will I use the landing flap and then it's about 50% of the recommended setting.

All up, I love this model, it's my first turbine and I've found it very easy to fly and land. The only drawback is the shear pin arrangement in the main legs but the Jet 1A trailing leg arrangement is well worth looking at. I'm going to retrofit these to mine when they arrive.

Have fun.

Rod
