Mixing can be cool, you can program you radio to add a little rudder in when you give aileron, or you can "dial out roll induced from rudder."

Computer radios are great, but you have to become one with them. I first bought Airtronics Vision because it was/is the best sailplane radio, this was in the late 80's I then bought a Hitec Eclipse radio, I had to wait for them to write the owners manual, I think I had #77. Then I bought a Futaba 7c, because I read how good the 9c was. Turns out buying the 7c because the 9c's great reviews was like buying a Chevy because you read a great review on a Cadillac. So I bought a 9c. They don't sell 9c any more, but they have a 10 something 2.4 GHz, that's what I'd buy if I was starting RC now. I understand that being a UC flier converted to RC you might say will I get my money's worth out of it? A lifetime warranty doesn't have the same meaning at 65 as it does at 30, but the Futaba 10 GHz radio will last forever, you won't outgrow it and you'll learn to use it's features over time.

Learn to forgive the RCer's when they say the built an ARF, for they know not what they say.
