Pretty much the same, I personally move the "crossover" point closer to 1/4 stick rather than 1/2.

oh question, any one using the castle thunderbird 9 ecs, does it kill the motor when the bec goes off, or does it pulse.. reason i ask is a guy i fly with had his foamy just fall out of the air during a hover when the bec kicked... my guess in no hovering after the 2 minit mark?? last thing i wanna do is snapotailoff..

i always fly outside, but the wheelpants IMO just mame them look that much better. I just hover catch it to land anyway, never use them as a actual landing gear. Didnt put any of the metal rod like the instructions say to.
