Really starting to hammer this thing in the air , its definitely my favourite plane , started to chnge the c of g , so its now slightly tail heavy , getting there and enjoying it greatly , doing plenty of 3d practice . i think ive managed now to get down to about 20 metres up . that might sound funny to some of you guys who fly 2 metres up . but its a challange .
had a misshap with it today , flying on 5s , which caught me out because the previous flight was 6s . anyhow MY DX8 , DECIDED TO RUN 3 DUAL RATE POSITIONS , IT PREVIOUSLY HAD 2 , BUT AFTER SETTING 3 POSITION DUAL RATES ON THE RARE BEAR . some how it added another rate to the mx . which happened to be 100% throw and zero exponential !!!! this gives the elevon about 85 degree travel , which acts like an airbrake brake and will cause a spin if in a dive rather than pull out of it , i had no idea what was going on , thanks to those long reeds , they caught it perfectly , no damage at all . and i was able to get another flight out of it , before i spent the batteries . so i guess we must always check our txs when we add new model setups , i had to reset up the rate percentages on the mx after this miss hap . lovin it .
