I set my elevator throw at just under the manual high rate value. Seems fine for my style of flying. 5/8" measured from the front of the stab. I know the manual is a little screwy calling elevator flaps and not labelling the elevator travels.

I hope you get this before morning. The elevator is where my concern is.

I would like to try again in the morning. Thanks for the help.

I have my C of G on the corner of the plastic square on the wing has shown in the video .It comes in fast and if I try to slow it down on the approach it gives me the impression it is going to tip stall ,so I keep the speed up to stop this ,hence the fast approach .I come in low on the approach ,get over the strip and then slow it up and then pitch the nose up so it lands on the back wheels .Must be my bad flying skills if everyone else can slow this bird down .Do not get me wrong .it is a lovely model .I love it just got to get to grips with the landing

Yes, the stealth coating works! Orange ordnance would be a nice touch.
Captain Moron, where is your CG?

The F35 camouflage does it's job well .I only fly mine on a nice blue sky .Overcast and grey sky forget it .Also I find it is not the easiest EDF to land

Put two more flights of the F-35 today. Adjusted the gain on the aileron down to roughly 25% and the oscillation at all speeds is gone. I really enjoyed both flights today, it really is a cool jet. Explored the slow speed envelope and it really handles well.
I’ll continue to dial it in with each flight. With the gyro on the elevator feels a little heavy to me, so I’ll start working on that. I’m new to the Hobby Eagle A3 Pro, so I’m learning that as well.
The F-35 is awesome, very impressive in the air.

It's somewhere in here... we didn't have an agenda, and I couldn't see his screen. We just sorta winged it.
