Doug,

Yeah, I have seen that bulletin from Spektrum/Horizon, mine (I have 2 DX6i's) were not affected, I didn't have any date codes on either radio, and they passed the monitor test...

I think that mostly applies to relatively new units, mine are just under a year old, so I think I'm OK there...hope yours check good too.

I just checked my gyro settings on my CPP which I was flying on Saturday (well, trying anyways, high wind gusts and CPP's don't get along too welll, lol), and the tail was holding well, but I had some tail wag at a a gyro setting of 85%...

It has been since mid-summer since I last flew it, so I don't know why I had it that high, I could probably do well to reduce it until the wag goes away...but if memory serves me correctly, I had a heck of a time trying to get a decent balance between the wagging, and having enough gyro to keep the tail from doing it's CPP thing...that is, wandering all over the place...

Most people are commenting on how powerful the N60 motor is, and I am hoping that might just be the ticket for what I was up against with the GWS tail motor setup...time will tell...

At any rate, for what it's worth, my gyro settings from summer were 0: 85% 1:100%

I think I felt that I needed a LOT of gyro, looking at it now....let's see what we end up with on the CPP 2's...

Good luck, and I hope your radio is OK...

Talk to ya,

Glenn
