RE: Slow stick Forum!!
calvino Did you add some glue to the control horns like the manual said to do all gws manuals shows a little glue icon when adding the horns stops them from falling out lol not sure programing more brake will help your prop from free wheeling sometimes that helps from brakeing props is your plane CG close to were it should be mine will glide some when landing no nose in crashes sorry for the bent shaft

RE: Slow stick Forum!!
You know i have noticed something in the younger flyers some think when they grab the radio for the first time they think there playing a game you know slam the stick hard just like in a video game but if they learn that moving the stick slower and know when to let off there controls there plane will live longer the sims do wonders for the new pilot will teach them how to do it right the first time and just think it will not cost you a plane not saying how young iam lol but when i started there was not much RC flying around we learned on control line planes mine was a very old large wing B52 bomber had two johnson 29 glow engines ran wide open for six minutes the plane was 75 feet from the hand control what a blast it was to learn and fly thanks

Hello i Have a older radio the Futaba FP-T7UAF 7 and i looking for help i have two questions one is i know the receiver is a dual conversion and i am trying to figger out how to if possible to set the radio were both elevator and aileron move at the same time like elevons or Vtail And if i use the radio can i use a GWS 6n receiver as long as i use the right Frequency for my small foam planes since my receiver is to big for them oops one more question since the receiver is a dual conversion can you use a single conversion receiver as long as the frequency is correct
