Wow, so Bush, I dont understand why you dont do the pre order. I mean for 1300.00 bucks, just pocket change lol. Nice looking transmitter although the antenna that is also a handle looks like it would break if it were to fall. I think I'll just stick with my DX-18. But for those who has to have the "Latest and greatest" it would be pretty cool.

Yeah I have heard good things about those. You know they all have people who knock every brand it is that you need to be happy with it, that's all that matters. I have been told "oh you need to get rid of that transmitter, its no good" but I'm happy with it lol

Hey whats the deal with mixes anyway? I have never used them and no nothing about them. Can you explain the who, what and why of it please?
Has something to do with mixing things like Aileron and Elevator for when you move the control surfaces to do specific things or something like
that right? Or am I way off.

[MENTION=3728]Bushwacker[/MENTION] No you are pretty right on. I never used mixes either until I read this View attachment Mixing Tips.pdf It is a one and a half page article on mixing that I read here Now I use mixes on everything, even my foamies!
Now you say where did you find that? It is all here on this site that I have spent countless hours reading, and I still do, and it is in the "Everything else airplane forum" Under the first sticky.... There is a TON of great information in that thread. I find I have learned more from that thread than anywhere in my 3D flying career if you want to call it that lol. There are how to videos by BoneDoc, Michael Wargo, Flying Circus, and more. If you haven't dug into that thread, you ought to. For me it makes going to events and asking questions of the guys who can really fly make more sense. That thread is really what brought me to this site a few years ago.:thumbup: Don't get overwhelmed when you first look at it. It is a huge thread especially the first post, scroll down and take a overview look at it and pick out what you want to read. You will find you will go back and read the whole first post in its entirety, but be prepared it is a book! lol There is even a rolling harrier training program in there that helps show the timing for rolling harriers.... Rolling harrier tutor

Just try setting up one mix for knife edge and when you get it dialed in you will swear by it, my opinion....

I will get off my soap box now lol
