Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

Mark,
Are you using a switch and / or knob to deploy the spoilers and how much deflection are you using?

I just set mine up mixing it with my throttle and activated with the landing switch. I have an offset set at half throttle. When I turn my landing switch on, once the throttle gets to half the spoilers start to come up and continue to come up as the throttle goes down. When the throttle is all the way down they are fully deployed around 15 - 20 %. Which should work out really nice for landing.

As you accelerate they start to go back down to normal and once you get above half throttle they no longer work. Even when they are fully deployed I still have full aileron control. So if you do touch and goes or you have to go around again as you increase the throttle they will return to normal. Of course you can still turn off the landing switch.

I got the canopy on. Using a little elbow grease to hold it down I was able to get it screwed on. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The air lines are on the retracts, the receiver is in place. I just need to finish up by running the antenna wire, and balance it. Looks like she may fly either next weekend or the following week when I am on vacation.

Also, forgot to thank you for the idea of the stinger mod on the Jettstream muffler.
