Default Axiome Test Flight

I have tested my Axiome and conducted already 15 flights where first 7 flights were of 15 minutes each for Motor break-in.
First 7 Flights were horizontal 8's with throttle at 2 clicks open. No climbs no fancy stuff. Fuel is normal 30% Heli and Prop APC 19X11.
Overall the YS170 CDI runs very well and coo like a pigeon. The next flights were calibrations. I immediately notices that I need to forget all I new about the rudder. Rate needs to go down to 20% with 0 expo. Only then I started to understand the effect of the rear-drawing wings and the top wings.
After many years of using JR9411SA on the Ailerons I have shifted to Savox. It just SO MUCH BETTER. The Savox ailerons servos are so fast, precise and responsive that I should have switched to it much earlier. Rolls, part rolls etc is a different ball game now.

- CG is 190mm and it is good position.
- 2 LiPO packs of TP 1320mah
- PowerBox Sensor as double-regulator-switch and bi-directional backup
- Final weight 1930 grams

Down sides:
1- Oxai Ailerons horns are a joke and not suitable for the job.
2- The Rear H.Stab supporting pipes needs to be glued into their guides otherwise tolerance will be developed at no time.
3- The Oxai silk covers are very nice visually but practically do not worse nothing because they are very thin. Try CoverMe products you will note the
different immediately
4- Oxai use to send a set of scheme colors to in order make corrections and touch-ups if needed. I did not get one. :-(
