RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B

Ch1. Throttle
Ch2. Rudder
Ch3. Elevator
Ch4. Ailerons

Not in that order but that are the 4 Ch. needed to fly the Predator.
Typically a 3 Ch plane doen't have Ailerons and a 4 Ch does.

With the stock wheels that come with the Predator an 8" prop is about the limit I tryed a 9" prop and it was too close to the ground.
