I set my aileron high rate to 1/2 the value given in the manual. It worked out fine. That's the only real gotcha with this airplane as far as I am concerned. I have a red on in my shop but I haven't opened the box yet. They may have revised the manual for the aileron throws.

Crap Hemidoo!!
I rolled mine way back and she still spins like a top. Of course it depends on what hole you're using on the servos and the control arms. Mine were on the out side holes for both the servos and control arms, really should have changed them to the inner hole on the servo, but instead I rolled it way back on the radio. Old guy moment I guess, I might change them yet, but for now she flies fine.

Finally opened the Red Avanti box. Sure looks like a 9 blade. Have not looked close enough yet but also looks to be an inrunner.
The good ole switcheroo. Manual says its a 1850kv 12b. I can understand wanting to use the same manual.
I'm sure there's a good reason whatever that might be and I'm not really concerned. Just would be nice to know what I actually have.

TI,
I'm not unhappy- yet . Probably wont get the same rich 12b sound but if there's an upside to going with the 9b I'm all for it. By being more effecient, faster ? Better flight times ?Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39

That said, I comfortably get 4:30 out of mine using Admiral 5000mAh packs and mixed throttle settings to leave the cells at 3.79 usually.

I just got my red Avanti S in the air yesterday. A friend shot some video today of me flying. I shot the opening and did the edit. Hope you enjoy!
I can't tell any difference in the sound. I been flying the original yellow one since day 1. I was on the 1st preorder for the much delayed original.

Hopefully not much longer, BPINE. If you haven't already, please enter your email address into the Notify Me field on the Avanti's product page, and our automated system will email you as soon as the Avanti is restocked and ready to ship. We've had trouble keeping these in stock for the year and a half since it was first released, because they keep selling out faster than we can get more. 'Good problem to have, I suppose!
