Vic, I was going to say that you must have the Grandkids over a lot and watch that night in a museum movie w/ Ben Stiller. I took my kid to see it in the theater and we've rented it several times since! Great movie and you cracked me up

Jim and Jeff, I only use WMM and some upload with the "watch in HQ" feature and some don't. I'd love to know how to have that everytime. Please let me know what you find.

Jim Jim, I love head speed! I can't say that enough. Some like slower head speeds for hovering and the mushy, less responsiveness and normal. I don't. I like to have touchy control the whole time but just slightly more at Idle 1 or 2. I set my throttle curve so that I'm at least at 80-85% throttle when the heli lifts off of the ground at half stick in normal. When I hit Idle Up it goes to 90-95% throttle and I set my pitch curve to compensate for the head speed increase so that it doesn't jump up or down. I spent 2 days and 8 batteries of up and down flights programing. I started with the normal mode and the heli lifting off at half stick and 80-85% throttle. I adjusted my Idle Up from there. I say 80-85 because I don't remember exactly where my setting are. I had never done this before, ( the T-Rex is set-up per Finless and I never change a thing) but I found these steps to be quick in finding the sweet spot for the switch transition and end results. You do have less run times with the higher head speeds but it's worth the penalty for me.

BTW Guys... I stole the Rx out of the T-Rex today[X(][:@] I have an offer to fly gas planes on Saturday, ( weather permitting ) and I really want to fly my Edge 540T w/ Saito 82a. I haven't flown it in a year. I will also be hopefully maidening a Pitts S-2C w/ Thunder Tiger 46. We'll see...

God Bless!
