Thanks cherrybomb. I was thinking that was the case. It is a blast to fly for sure and it will keep you on your toes. I am going to dial in some more expo.

Make sure you are not tail heavy. The instructions say 12" from the trailing edge at the middle. I fly mine with 35% expo on mid rates and 50% on high. I consider the Outlaw a very stable aircraft and have never had problems controlling one.

It was windy and only needed a few clicks of aileron and elevator to get it flying straight.

The question that I have are first, is this plane just that sensitive to control inputs. I have at least 65% expo on every surface. Second is, when are you all switching to high rates?
This is the first elevon plane that I have flown. Any advice to help on my next flights?

Hey man!

You could definitely be a touch tail heavy. You're also getting in that range where expo starts getting a negative effect. Nothing really happens for so long on your stick travel, then it has to make a large movement to catch up. Check CG first and even if good maybe scoot it forward a little more. If it's still to touchy try bringing your expo down to about 45%

Been a little quiet around here so I'm guessing everybody else is having fun with their Outlaws too! Here's a little snippet from this weekend, had 5 go up and come down so overall it was an awesome time!!! We're definitely not 3d'ing them, but they are definitely scratching the go-fast itch!

Speed Freak Outlaw 150mph Follow the Leader Flight (Flight of Five) (1 min 23 sec)

They definitely are a hoot to fly and a fun change of pace. Have a handful of buddies here that own them. We are extremely satisfied with these quick little suckers!!
