The plane was setup according to the manual as fars as throws go and expo but by the end of the day on low rates were at 30% expo on a Futaba 9c and the bird flew much better than the manual recommended 15% expo. I am looking for any thought from anyone whom owns this bird on their setup.

Sorry I do not have a video yet but will soon.


Couple Pics:
I have the same plane/engine setup as you. I have some questions. Does yours really lock into an inverted flatspin? I mean to the point that it is hard to get out. You have to give opposit rudder and wait. I have had some close calls with mine because of this problem. My CG is right on neutral.
