    the cut on my thumb i was cutting away from my self just a shame a was holding the other end but i can now feel and move my thumb all be very little so i think a good job done as was told expect to loose the nerves that side and as for the prop strike model was restrained i was just thoughtless and my hand went in the arc its just a so-and-so trying to get blood out of balsa and not being able to even think of flying for more than 12 weeks as for the futaba issue so easy done may be fail safe wrong way round and tx turn off and back on when coming out of programing so easy to say should off done this or that afterwards (Edited for language!.....)

    you need to get cog as on plan what engine are you using should be 46 ish are you doing cog with a full fuel tank ? if you have to have servos at back and rx and battery over tank if not further back deltas can fly slowly you dont have to fly flat all the time and keeps your rates low it worth doing right a good delta is great no fixing wings on no screws to loose or leave behind

    the imax is a good all rounder can even charge you car battery with it i use a old computer power surply you get 5volts and 12 volts from it or a lap top power surply but they often will not give enough when charging at high rates
