Title: Indian Brook Gym
Post by shawn m on Dec 24^th, 2011 at 9:59am

Hey guys...

I got the green light to use the gym in Indian Brook on the 26th... Who is up for some flying? I was thinking of opening up around or just before 10am if anyone is interested and needs to try out any new toys that may find under the tree...

Please note that we will be flying at HERH on Jan 3rd at 7:30 to 9:30.

Any recommendations for dual rates and expo for this plane? I'm setting up my DX6i using what is recommending in the manual? Wish me luck...

I've got 30 percent expo in mine. no dual rates or anything else. just bound it and went flying. I did make sure the servos were working in the right direction is all.
