Yes the B is supposed to be the home takeoff point direction in relation to the aircraft.

Spoiler / flaps wing set and programmed ready to go.
dod go back after this video and make some adjustments. In my haste to clean up my program I deleted some changes I made. She all ready now though.
next I need to switch out wings and set up a different model setup for Stock wings setup and stock wing using RCGeeks set up.
then we can start flying her again.

Ok that’s I’m either 95% or 100% done.
I got my stock / RCGeek setup all done and Programer.
I’m not sure if in stock she flies with tailerons all the time or only with wings back. Wing aileron throws per manual seam pretty aggressive, unless it’s only elevator and not tailerons.
With a flip of a switch it will go into RCGeek setup. Only thing is I can’t remember if he used ailerons as flaperons while in flaps or not. I have them added in because I had them setup in my previous setup and liked how it helped on final and all the way in.
So here she is with stock wings.

You will actually be before me. The weather this year has been non friendly to flying rc planes. Like today. We actually have a 6% chance of snow. And currently it’s hurricane winds blowing. This is not even in the normal realm for this area.
then in a few weeks I’m off on a 20+ day vacation on the other side of the globe. So it might not be until May for I can fly her😔

I figured I'd ask this here instead of my personal thread. I'll put the info there as well for redundancy.
let me preface my question with a little background. I've pulled the stock electronics from the plane including both esc and the stand alone BEC unit. I am going to replace the esc's with units that have their own BEC's built in. I also plan on replacing at bare minimum the 2 elevator servos. Looking at the specs of the replacement servos I see they are capable of running at 3 different voltage ranges. I then checked to see what the voltage output range is on the esc / bec. I see that the lowest output voltage for my new BEC is 6v. Wondering what the stock BEC puts out I went looking online and the only info given that I could find just states that it is capable of delivering 8 amps. My next step was looking at the servos in the plane in and their specs. They all say 4.8 - 6v input range which is ok for the lowest setting of the new BEC.
Here are my questions...
I can find no voltage input info on the wing sweep servos and someone who has one of these planes stated to me that 6v will burn them out. They didn't offer any more info than that. Can anyone provide some additional insight to this?
Second, I want to run any and all of my replacement servos at a higher voltage for the performance increase. How can I seperate those servos from the rest. I do not want to burn out the stocks that remain.
