Went out this weekend and was testing some logic switch programming for snap rolls on my IMAC bird. Much tighter snaps now. Stick positions dictate which flight mode I am in. With the sticks buried in the corners, rudder and elevator throw are reduced by 50% and the aileron throw is increased by 10% :) One happy camper now!

Very-very nice Mark. That is one beasty plane now isn't it? It looks like it is just spot on perfect. I have to admit, I am very impressed. Way to go my friend.

Well after feeling like my sukhoi was lacking in power on Saturday and then watching my videos I determined it did not sound like it engine was spooling up to max RPM's. Pull the cowl off last night and what do I find, none other than the throttle arm still has over 1/8" of travel left that it can go after the throttle stick is all the way forward. Open up my radio end points menu and sure enough in my hurry to get the plane setup I messed up the end point for max throttle. Will get that all corrected and maybe try it again tomorrow if I can get someone else to come out to the field with me.

Thank you Rob. The 30 x 13 x 3 Falcon is a nice prop as long as the air isn't to dry. If I get above 6700 with low humidity it rips pretty quick. That is why I take the 29 x 12 x 3 EVO Mejzlik with me so I can swap them out if I need to in order to keep the noise down. The only thing I don't like about the Mejzlik is it will turn 7200 in an instant if I don't get off the throttle quick enough. The 180 swings them both with authority :)

CCA is a noise sensitive venue. I would stick with the Mejzlik or if you use the Falcon keep a sharp eye on your sound scores after the first couple of sequences.

I think I will be putting the Mejzlik back on today and getting used to it again tonight. I took a pretty good hit on scores in MO with the Falcon and will need all of the help I can get at CCA :) Thank you for the info Robert!
