    If you are setting it up standard by the book, radio set up 1 aileron, 1 flap wing, 1 elevator, 1 rudder tail, Throttle goes directly to 1, Aileron from the BB goes to 2, Elevator from the BB to 3, Rudder from the BB to 4, Gear from the BB to 5, Flaps from the BB to 6.

    Normally I bypass the BB for many functions and go directly to the receiver. Many times I will split the surfaces and go directly to the receiver in separate slots, example Ailerons, set up the radio for flaperons (two aileron wing) and put the two ailerons directly into the receiver on their own channels. Another example in separating the elevators to get tailerons.

    Here is what my F-22 is set up to do.

    Ok thanks Evan d. Another question the inputs from the blue box differ from the spectrum rx does the box connections got to be the same as rx channel assignments?

He loves flying it. He is on the buddy box. But the last 6 flights i haven't had to take over at all. Here is 2 flights we got Saturday afternoon.
    he is getting better.

    Oh it's just this particular photo - I dont transport with the wheels down. Usually there's a few jets stacked on top of one another with padding in between.

    We have utes, well, we used to when we had a manufacturing industry. Similar LS series engine to that 'vette with space for an AL37 in the back. I believe these were sold in sedan form as a G8 in the US. Makes light work of a raptor, just go easy on the clutch...

    Thank you

    the mig is significantly bigger. It won’t fit back there.

    Special enough! The color looks like it goes well with your Yamaha. And you can cruise around with a Raptor and I'm guessing the Mig as well. I think you're doing retirement right Evan!

    I fit the F-22, mig 21, JAS 39, and the EF F-16 all in my pick up. Just to be transparent I do have to take one wing off the raptor .
