RE: Share Futaba 9c settings for Blade CP Pro

I've just got a blade cp pro over the holidays. I would like to use my Futaba 8U. Would most of the 9c settings work as I'm not familier with it.

RE: thinner,slimmer,faster mods to my diamond dust

Hopefully, I will be able to find out this weekend. In theory, with less drag than the "fat factory thick" wing, I should be able to get away with less diameter. My last test with the "modifed" 7.2 X...

thinner,slimmer,faster mods to my diamond dust
