Hi Steve, I'm not familiar with the Hitec Radio, but on a Futaba 12FG you can either set up different trim settings for each flight condition (Flap, Aileron and Elevator) or you can link your ailerons to flaps so that when you adjust the flap camber or reflex using a slider, the ailerons are driven at the same time to achieve an all moving trailing edge. I use the trim settings for reflex and camber and have the flaps and alilerons both linked so that the whole trailing edge moves with snap flap and ailerons in my flight modes (don't use a slider). The advantage of the flight modes is you can unlink things as well e.g un-link flaps and ailerons in landing mode. Cheers, Tom

Well my mate Paul flew in 60mph winds yesterday afternoon but it was struggle to stand up on the slope edge so I waited for the wind to die down to 50mph before launching a 3M mouldy. Mmm 30 sec air!

Gliders like wind, get it maidened!

You would be better off with a hotliner that has already been designed for electric power, that way you'll be able to get a decent power train in without compromising the AUW when trying to get to the CoG have a word with Sloperacer or T9 for suitable models or a MPX Blizzard if cost is an issue.

Panasonic SD62 bridging camera, takes stills and shoots good video, cheaper than a video camera with a view finder, can't get on with an LCD screen, Sony Vegas 11 editor.

T9 Hobby Sport sell them, if you speak to Rich he'll be able to let you know when he has some coming in.

Same F3F mouldies I fly in big winds, wonderful thing ballast and a slippery efficient moulded wing that works well in light and strong conditions. Go on, you know you want to! Edited By Tom Foreman on 04/12/2012 13:18:09 Edited By Tom Foreman on 04/12/2012 13:18:40

Try the RCMF forum, they have a Dynamic Soaring Forum, your nearest DS slope would be the Skirrid in South Wales.
