I think the pic had a bad angle. It is centered and lifts off straight. GREAT heads up on the fast landings and autos. I have a larger tail fin I will use when I get into the fast landings. I never thought about that, I just liked it because it lowered the CG.

I understand about the batteries. I will look into getting the higher capacity ones. I didn't know I could use higher capacity batteries so I got the same capacity as the original rx pack. Also, I have the equipment for the NiCad and that is why I an trying to keep the same types of things.

In the mean time, I can recharge them in minutes with my fast field charger. It will fully top them off with my field battery while I refuel and rest.

I will try your technique as well to get the antenna routing as best I can get it. I will someday upgrade to the 2.4G system. The RC world sure did pass me by while I had my children.

Thank you for all of your help. Take care......jster
