Hey RCjetDude. Just wondering how much battery you had left after your flights. I have the 8S version set up on one 6S Admiral 5000 (50c) and one 2S Admiral 5000 (60c) to get to my 8S. Temps are great here in Oklahoma but 20 mph winds a bit more than I want to tackle for a maiden in a light weight foam jet.

I'd recommend programming two flight conditions in your radio, that will allow you to toggle a switch to enable Aileron mixing. That way, you can evaluate the merits of either configuration. However, before you do all that I'd recommend first maidening in the configuration I set in the manual. This will give you a benchmark for how we intended the model's flying surfaces to be configured, from which you can then experiment and draw your own conclusions as to which is more advantageous for your flying style.
As for throws, I always program three rates, with the manual's rates being either High or Middle. It's nice to have at least one seeing lower than that.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Smooth flying. 6s or 8s? Everything set up by the book?
Thx, 6s fms 1900kv. Very light setup. The only thing by the book or close was cg and their 5mm of up elevator for neutral is perfect. I dont even look at recommended throws. I just fly: and setup how i like) Lots of elevator btw!!:)

For those who couldn't wait till Christmas day and have already assembled the Raptor, could you help me confirm/clarify one step in the assembly process:
When attaching the horizontal stab to the fuselage the manual calls for two 3x10mm screws to secure the pivot rod to the fuselage. The only screws I can find in the parts bag this size are these pan head self tapping screws. Once fully screwed in, the outer screw does not sit flush with the fuselage. It is protruding out by about 1/4" from the hole. Does this look correct? Wanted to make sure I'm not using the wrong screws.
