Yeah, you should have seen that thing. The SSE is a very capable plane and this one was set up by the original owner to be very agressive, which it indeed was. As soon as I tried to make a simple turn to orbit into the pattern from where he was flying, I realized that I had a handful there.. and was wondering how he managed not to dump it before I came over to him.

His expression when I asked him if he needed any help was priceless. "Yes PLEASE!!" then said "I don't know what to do next!!!" Obviously, he was way behind the thing.

So, I managed to get the TX from him without it going in, though. The very first thing I did was drop the throttle to about half and then I tried to make that turn. WOW. I've flown some sensitive aircraft, but this one.. jeech.. Once I got it figured out, as I said, I landed it and we started to make adjustments. The dual-rates came out.. first thing.. then mechanical adjustments, like different holes on the servo end as well as on the control surface, and a little on the bit of end-points too. All three helped calm this thing down.

But, the combination of to much throw AND the dual rates, hell, the low rates were agressive as it was!!! It was fine after that.

Poor guy, though, passed away a few weeks back. Very nice man. Very funny.. good sense of humor. We'll miss him.
