    I agree Larry, I find myself using both some times and after flying the MKII Phlatplane that John xtreme built for us that has ailerons. I would have to say this is a good practice.

    Kwok, what you said about the set-up is pretty much right on. Only exception is in Mix1 where you suggested setting RUDD to RUDD at "0", it actually has to be set at -100%. The AIL to RUDD in Mix2 is just the opposite and set at +100%. Thanks for your ideas. The "Stang" is flying well. I find flight times a little puny on 130 mAh batteries (cheap-o's). It does better on the battery Mark sent me. Maybe I am not getting them charged up enough or maybe the little Phlatstang is a bit of an energy hog. About 30 less than elegant landings and still no danger. This is a tough little design!

    The 160mah batteries are 30C discharge batteries unlike the 130mah which are probably only 10C or 20C rated.

    The 160's pack a punch! Almost like flying a totally different plane when you have the punch behind it. I have been flying with 138 mah batteries which are only 10C rated. The difference is night and day when you jump up to a 30C discharge rate.

    The 4Site motor was designed for the 30C rated batteries. It really does make a difference.

    I agree Larry. We love them! I can wait for them to come out with a higher mah so we can fly longer. Although we have found that with 4 of them you can pretty much fly non-stop if you place them back in the 4 banger charger and keep a rotation going. I have one of the 250 eflights for the helis but they do not fit my charger. I may have to get a cord for my 'real' charger so I can try some of these out. With the large wing loading of the Phlatboyz, I don't see the added weight being to much of an issue, it may even help.
