OK Grandpa T and bgw45 I need to be spoon fed. Could you both please list the rate +/-;
the switch; Adjust to trim setting; both top and bottom on/off settings;and Cut Position.

About the Throttle curve. My settings are:
points 1 thru 7: 0%,12%,24%,40%,60%,80%,100%
What this does is give a little finer control of the throttle when landing.
I like to set the angle of attack and then use the throttle to control
the descent with a little increase in angle at flair time. Using the throttle
curve gives a little finer control of the throttle. I just finished flying the
A9 this morning for the first time and after one adjustment the throttle control
and landings were great.

I think the A9 runs the servo's faster which in turn causes increase current
draw. I have a pair of JR DS821 digital servos on the ailerons and with a low
battery, 6.25 volts, was lighting up a Hextronic voltage monitor like a christmas
tree. I did some measurements and the voltage was getting as low as 5.75
volts, under a 2 DS821 load which is not a problem. I have not seen this with
a DX7 and about 170 flights. I think I will change the servos to Hitec HS322HB
standard servos and get rid of the Hextronic voltage monitor.

Thanks guys Internet, is great because nobody at my club has an A9 and some
do not even know what it is.
