New video! :)
On another note, bit of a rookie mistake here... it turns out I have been a bit dumb with my Gripen setup (NO, not regarding the CG!).
This is my first jet running an S8R stabilized receiver and I didn't properly set up the endpoints, so I was getting quite limited rudder/elevon throws.
Now that I have setup the endpoints right on the gyro, that's a lot of extra elevon/rudder authority that I was missing.
Already made three flights (not today's video) and the jet behaves more to my liking. Already achieved 45º sustained and controlled high alpha just 50cm from the ground.
This will further improve when I get CG more aft.
