Wes,

Glad to hear you got her up. It's a great feeling when they fly, and the GSS really flies well right off the bat.

I don't know if anyone else has tried it, but with the Spektrum DX-7, I've plugged my left and right ailerons into the correct channels so that you can not only add differential aileron throw if you wan to, but you can also use the ailerons as flapperons. You do lose some aileron effectiveness, but it helps to steepen the approach, adds a little drag and lowers your stall speed, which will help slow the approach a little and use a little less runway while landing and rollout due to reduced landing speed. Haven't tried deploying them yet on mine, as I only have about three flights on her and I want to get comfortable with the Fuji 34, stall speed and CG range.

Keep us posted.
