Test flight was a success this afternoon. I only had time to put in 2 flights, before the infamous Bay Area cross wind started kicking up big time. First flight only needed some minor trimming, plane tracked well, but did need some up ele with both rud for knife edges. Up/ down line were fine, with just a hint of down ele needed on the down line. I flew half of the P-09 pretty confidently on the second flight, and was satisfy with the few snaps the plane performed. I'm using most of the recommended throws by Naruke, and found the ele was too sensitive to my liking. However, the ail throws was just about right.

This is my first experience on both the cdi and the Futaba R6008HS, I've found the initial throttle response was a bit slower than the non cdi. However, I'm using a special Akiba throttle curve that actually retard the speed of the throttle servo. Therefore, I will probably adjust the curve slightly. Nevertheless, it has a very linear feel to it, you could definitely tell after some minor adjustment you will be able to take full advantage of the torque curve.

As for the R6008HS, very smooth, and you could definitely tell it's more responsive than the other rx.

Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to get the plane to trim out to my liking in the next few weeks. Will report again ...
