    I use the general rule of thumb for all my 3D planes, that being that low rates are set to 1/2 of high rate values. And low rate expo is approx. 1/2 of the high rate value + 10%. For high rates on a Spektrum DX7S/DX8 TX I'm using 70% Expo on Ail/Elv and 60% on Rud. This will get you very close...

    Yeah, I was surprised at the flight envelope. The Swift has a nice relatively thin and symmetrical main wing airfoil. Mine does very nice wing-rock free harriers. It is a breeze to execute spot landings right where ya want them:)

    I just got one of these in the air last weekend, mainly to fly on those really gusting windy days to save risking my balsa models. My experience was similar, i.e. the main landing gear mounting being angled, and the rough "hot-wire" cut aileron hinge area. Also the stab and wing slots were cut...

    Thanks. Still feeling my way around the site. BTW GYRO, are you going to make the HMRC Huckfest in mid August? It can't be any hotter in Knoxville, TN than it will be in TX:)

    Thanks for the welcome Swede. What's the setup on your 58" Edge? Mine thinks it's a pylon racer at WOT. Well, almost:) It's presently fitted with the Torque 4016T/500 MKII spooling a Xoar 16x8 on 5S. Just ordered some 16x7 props to try. Looking for a little more thrust for the slow-N-low stuff.

    FB was pretty neat at the start-up. Then they decided to "improve" by going to the "timeline" format. That really screwed it up in my POV, and it drags my otherwise fast desktop to a creeping crawl. So I bailed out of FB. We've got something better anyway; 3DRCForums:)

    Thanks. Flew glow/nitro R/C from '84 ~ '95, and CL before that. Had a'nuff of the noisy greasy airframe killing vibrators. Just got back in the hobby to give EP a go. Man oh man, finally, 2:1 thrust to weight for EP 3D! Wow, I'm hooked:) Been flying (again) for 2 years now and picking up some 3D...

    Help! need help with charger/psu purchase

    I've been looking at getting a PL8 to set up for multi-parallel charging. Presently making do (and rather nicely) with a pair of the dual channel CellPro 10S units, and using them to charge four (up to 5S) packs at the same time. Of course each CellPro 10S will handle up to a single 10S pack...

    Howdy from east tennessee. Just found this site from a link on RCG. Good to see a "3D" forum, and looks like a great place to hang out:)
