    Yep that's what I love about it! From small 2 blade props to large 4 blade setups like the 1700mm P-51 or F4U...

      Yes the Dubro is what I own and was surprised when it was not offered by motion. Payed what I did from my LHS.

        Flew the morning in advanced mode. The sound is still there during a dive, but not a profound as it was yesterday. But, I broke a prop shaft after a bug decided to attack me. The plane was only bout 6ft off the ground and the tip of the shaft broke off in the prop. I was practicing landing on the dirt, so it was practically floating at that point.

          Throttle on full ( in your case) wings level, flight level. 1) bump the stick back to get the nose up, back to neutral. 2)stick all the way over until you regain level flight. 3) back to neutral. 4) Adjust for level flight. All these steps should happen in rhythm 1,2,3,4 just like the beat of song, two being extended of course. But you need to start any maneuver by flying straight and level. If you start in a climb attitude, you're already bleeding off speed before you enter the maneuver, Same with a loop, start with wings level and flight attitude level, give her a chance to build up speed then enter the loop.
          Rule number one, neutral is your friend.
          Just like doing a basic turn. Bank, neutral pull elevator, adjust elevator so you are neither climbing or descending. Neutralize elevator and roll back to level flight to end the turn.
          We all know if you don't neutralize the sick, you do this beautiful spin into the ground and spend all day wondering what happened and finally determine that it must have been...
          A) A wind thermal
          B)Radio interference
          C) The airplane (Not a very good plane, hard to handle)

          No, its simply because you didn't neutralize your controls before going on to the next step.
          Take it from me. I've seen Pandora Two do exactly what I describe when I was starting out until someone was nice enough to point this fact out to me.
          She survived and is a great flyer, it was the guy on the sticks that wasn't so great!!
