The big difference for me was how the controls felt using the 2.4GHz system. Even when I did the range check from approx 100' away I can see there was little lag between my stick movements and the surfaces, and this really showed when flying around . Everything felt on point like as if I added newer or faster servos.
I have a friend that had a report on thruput speed of radios, the Specktum(sp?) was the fastest something like 20ms, the 9CAP was the slowest of the 10 radios tested at about 200ms. I looked, I have a 9CAP, when I had the elevator on ch2 & 8, I thought I could see the lag, I put a Y in ch2 and reprogramed the 8ch servo to revese rotation and the lag was gone.
How much up did you have to mix for rudder elevator? Do you use a straight mix or a slope?
Good explanation Tom, I am very happy with my setup and aircraft and hope to get some video footage on the next good day.
All the 9CAP's have that problem and it shows up incrementaly when you go for 3D throws and don't have your servo geometry set up correctly or your using a lot of subtrim while increasing your endpoints.
So far my rudder mix is only setup for low to mid rates at cruising speed. I always use a sloped mix because flying a slow high alpha knife edge pass usally requires a lot more mixing than a high speed pass. My setting are 4% at the low stick position and 12 percent on 3D rates, but I have dialed in the 3D rates as of yet.
