Wow I am going to print this out and post it above me as I work. I have been flying for many years and knew there had to be some mixing just from looking at this. The instructions really ought to include this as I would not know.

Anyway, I am using a Futaba 6EXA which has dual rates and exponential. For Futaba, exponential is negative where other Tx units may be positive. So you are saying 35% Expo on low rate and upward of 50% on high rate or are you talking about the percentage of throw to set up on full and low rate. I really want to make sure and clarify this. 7-8mm and 10 - 12mm on high and low rate is easy enough by setting the dual rate high or low to get the right throw. I have not used 50% Expo though.

As long as we are getting into the nitty gritty, I have a Hitec Supreme 8 channel Rx and Futaba 6EXA Tx as mentioned. I can use channel 6 for left wing (flaps) and run the right wing to channel 1 (standard Airleron). Note the two wings are routed to a single plug so i will have to remove the Y connector and then connect these separately as noted?

Elevators are also run in parallel through a Y conenctor and I assume goto channel 2 (elevator)

I will of course refer to the Futaba instructions but again want to be sure with an expert on this before doign anything. I did by the way run the battery and motors to cycle them. I assume 2 -3 times should adequatley condition this battery.

I did note that there is a 2200 Mah hour battery and wondered about upgrades to this mainly along the lines of the 2200 20C batteries that are on sale on NitroPlanes. I know I will want a spare battery but the higher C rate I assume out to give this thing more push and perhaps better flight time. Any advice for upgrading that won't have me bruning out parts.

Thanks in advance
