I don't see a problem since she seems to come in nice and slow. I have V2 f16 6s no flaps mix in and can land little hot. FW 16 mixed in flaps for takeoff but helps with landings.

Flap Elev
Pos 0 -100% 0%
Pos 1 -29% 9%
Pos 2 29% 17%
Switch D
Speed: 2.0s
These values put the flaps and elev mix at the measurements called for in the manual. Depending on how your servo arms are positioned at assembly, your measurements may be a bit different.
Also, under the Set Up menu you have to set the wing to 1 Aileron and 1 Flap before you can go to Function List.
Hope this helps

Not sure if it's the same with a 8 and 9, but with the DX18 you have to activate the flaps under the Aircraft Type (system setup) section to even get the flap system to show up. Under the wing setting tell it that it has 1 Aileron and 1 Flap (since we are in essence running them on a Y) Once that is done you should be able to find the Flap system under normal setup.My YouTube Videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrz...4Q-xrOOtP2C-8w

First impression: a really smooth flier and although I did not expect jaw dropping speed with the three Nerf Vortex Aero Howler whistles it's still pretty fast.
I'll have to see how much faster Doug's Avanti is before deciding to keep the whistles or extract a few.Used 3 Nerf Vortex Aero Howler whistles installed into fan cover. Flies smooth and although not jaw dropping it has very good speed even with the whistles.

Four more flights on mine this morning.I moved the battery back about 3/16" to get it closer to the aft CG and have to say I like it there. Holds a line while inverted better and let me change the up trim I had in it before back to 0.
Also noticed the tendency to climb slightly with flaps deployed so went back and added a little flap/down elevator mix like the manual suggested. Worked well with 2% at half flap and 4% at full on my DX-18
It's a keeper barring any unfortunate radio or other electronic failures.My YouTube Videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrz...4Q-xrOOtP2C-8w

I was excited to see my first Freewing 80mm Avanti this AM. A clubmate (Michael Troy) had his up for a couple flights and I was able to get a few quick shots of it in, in between a couple of first flights on a new Freewing 8S 90mm Yak 130!
What a fantastic looking, sounding and performing sport jet!

Finally got mine together and have 'Buzz' the pilot in her. Painted my dashboard a light nutmeg brown, just to be able to tell it from all the other Avantis that will be at Nefi !
HH, it looks like it needs just a touch of red, and I mean a touch as red is a very overpowering color ! Try it on some paper first before the airplane. You should be able to match it that way.
Here's Buzz, and ex Airforce pilot in the cockpit of his new Avanti...
