Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

Opjose - thanks for the Bobcat file for G3 - very cool.
I just changed my flaperons to Spoilerons after doing about 30 touch and goes with your modeled plane. I was easily able to keep the nose off the ground for the entire length of the runway with very positive control...

Can you tell me how much throw you're setting for the spoilerons? Give me measurements at the root - closest to the fuse so I can make sure I'm measuring from the same position as you are. I'm using the Spektrum Heli version, so I'm using the 2 position switch on the top left for my flap settings: Normal, Spoilers 1, Spoilers 2. I'd like to know how you're mixing your elevator with it. Using the model in G3, it wants to pitch down when I raise them, so I"m assuming you're mixing in up elevator? Also - what is your throw for the elevator? I like the sensitivity of the model, but ailerons are a bit twitchy for my taste....however, I snap-rolled the plane, and WOW! I gotta try that with my real one, but I'm afraid to rip off the tail booms! (I did finally switch to metal screws all around, but still...lots of stress doing a snapper!

I wonder if anyone has a model configured for the HET F20 EDF? I'm about to finish one...

Thanks!

PS. Didn't fly - looked like rain out west by the field and I was lazy...
