Hi I have been having a very bad experience assembling the Bison XT First the wing female connector on left wing had to be replaced which was a short ...this killed the flap servo and am waiting for Motion RC to replace this...Took it to the club this morning as although experienced with plane and heli builds no idea re the lighting wiring as no instructions or video.. As it happens I had the wiring correct as it was checked by two very experienced Motion RC customers.. The speed controller no instructions also.... When they plugged it in to test the Admiral speed controller went up in smoke all polarity was correct.. There is no wiring diagram but the only thing might be the white and black wire from the speed controller where does that go ????? Thats the only thing I can think it could be an issue but my fellow pilots know the speed controller...

I have just received my Bison, someone at Skynetic should be schizophrrenic about small screws
Thinking why such a beauty scale airplane should have a 6S engine to perform aerobatics instead of flying scale, less weight and better STOL performaces
Have you seen some full size pilot doing inverted flight at Valdez? Though hundreds of people follow those "boring " flights
Anyway my question is: provided it doesn't flyes scale, are struts required for STOL flight? Trying to avoid a number of screws and clips

just a question: to balance the P factor of such a big engine in this little model I think it is necessary to add more deflection to engine, to access the engine I have to dismount the plastic cowl, to do that is is enough to unscrew the to screws I see in the air intake holes?
