Since I moved into a computer radio, I fly everything but 3D type planes on high rates , but have the expo dailed up pretty good , 50 to 60 % .
You are correct when you say Hobbico have great customer service , but it was my boo boo and I`ll fix on my dime Tx for the info tho.
As far as C A hinges go , had pretty good luck with them . I have a roll of clear monocoat and when I use C A hinges , use it to seal the wing gaps , seems to help a lot.
