@@bzplanes4922 Thank you very much!

[@terryallen5837]

Great Flight!! What are you running for Motor/ESC and batteries?

[@bzplanes4922]

Thanks! it has Rimfire 65CC, Castle 160HV, and 2x 6S 5000mah 55C

[@pauldouglas4900]

How long are your flights? I have the RF50cc and was planning on using 2 x 12S 6000mAh before I read this.. thanks! @@bzplanes4922

[@pauldouglas4900]

@@bzplanes4922 What flight times are you getting with this combination? Thanks!

[@bzplanes4922]

I’m getting about 5mins, still 3.75V/cell after landing. Sorry, for 5000mah 12s is 4mins.

[@bzplanes4922]

Maybe need to check static thrust to make sure it has enough thrust. I feel mine, 65cc, is just a bit more than enough.

[@retlawren]

Hello, great flight! One question, how many cm do the landing flaps go down? In the instructions they write 25mm, which seems very little to me.

[@bzplanes4922]

Thank you! I set my full flaps 55mm. In case of strong wind landing, use half or no flaps.

[@retlawren]

@@bzplanes4922 thank you very much. At this setting you need elevator down mix? If yes, how many %

[@bzplanes4922]

There’s no need of mixing elevator
