One more question. This thing caN glide forever. I was thinking of setting up the three way switch om my Turnigy TGY-i6 to do both flapperons and spoilerons. Found the info to set it up like that. Only problem is that the ailerons are in a y harness and the wings glued in.
I could cut a hole in the bottom of the fuselage and change out the wiring, but do you think it would be worth it? I think it would definitely help to get this thing down in tighter spaces.
Also how would the ailerons get hooked into the receiver then? Use channel 6 for either L or R and keep the other where the Y harness is plugged in?

Got home early and thought i would try it out. The winds are 15-20 mph with 25 mph gust according to my weather app. Being impatient and wanting to give it a try i said the heck with it and launched the AXN into the air.
It was like trying to run on a greased railroad track. I did one loop around my field and landed nice and smooth despite the wind. Thought it might get away from me a few times, and i think it would have if the wings were not clipped. It is very responsive now and not so sluggish with the wings shortened.

something like this. I cant find the one that i use, but really the same thing. Tells you how buch current, amps, bat. voltage..... You really should have one if you start trying different props. If the ESC is only good to 25 A. then you obviously dont want to pull more than say 20 A to be safe. Also, Dont pull more than what the discharge rating is on your battery. It will heat up and puff if you do. Hope this helps.
