Just received my Spitfire and LOVE the looks of it . All the pics and videos , just don't do it justice. The paint and detail is absolutely incredible for a foam model.. Between this, the A4, F16 , and Avanti I feel like a little kid again , just starring at the planes when I'm not actually flying them ! So glad I pulled the trigger on this one before it disappeared from the sale page although had I seen one when it was 1st released , i wouldn't have waited. This is going to be a nice change/addition to the EDFs I already own
Couple of quick questions,
1-Is everyone flying with the manual call outs for
1-Rates
2-Expo ( 30 % sound right ? )
3-Flap/Elevator mixing ?
4-Flap speed , 2 seconds ?
5- C/G
2- I currently use and love Lemons Rx's and was elated to see Motion carry some of the models, B/C they truly are great RX's . I purchased one for this airplane , but realized that this one does not have the Adjustable gains on Aux3 like the LM0044's which the Admiral model clearly mimics in appearance . My questions on this one is to anyone at Motion that has flown this aircraft with the Admiral RX , what did you start with gain wise on the Elevator/ Aileron and when are you going to start carrying the Lemon PLUS Rx's with remote gain. I'm not complaining but this is something that is standard on the Lemon RX's , Why isn't it on the Admiral brand?

Anyway, all seems fine now, he's having a meeting with Alpha tomorrow and hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here on. I really appreciate the chance to be involved, so thanks!

Heck no James, the whole idea is for everyone to work together to keep this very special company exactly that.
Along time ago, I quoted the phrase,"Where would I be without MotionRC"
The friends and good times I have because of this hobby are some of the best things to happen to me and if I hadn't started dealing with Motion, they just would have happened. You know how cool it is to go to Nefi and see the boys and we all know each other on a first name basis??
I appreciate the company being the way it is and I love the fact that it is veteran owned, but above all, I love the fact that it rocked this industry.
Now, back to the Spitfire......

Motion RC worked with Lemon to create completely custom firmware for the Admiral stability plus gyro/receiver. There are also some small hardware changes. I did this to make the gyro extremely simple to setup and use. I also had the goal of making it extremely to use and fully functional if you have a 6 channel radio and 6 channel plane. After many months of testing and revisions, we have what I think is a fantastic gyro/receiver. I did remove the remote gain adjustment for simplicity. I felt the remote gain made setup too complex which was in direct conflict with my ultimate goal of simplicity. I'm debating about adding an advanced gyro/receiver to the Admiral line which will have remote gains as well as telemetry.

I believe that should be a no brainer decision Tom, especially with the telemetry aspect.;)
I've been using the Lemon 7-channel Stabilized Receiver for a long time, and the remote gain on a knob is one of the features that I use a lot. In the Admiral stabilized RX, I love that Channel 5 is released back to the user for controlling servos. As I'm a warbirder, almost always flying retracts and flaps, I've always hated having to program around Channel 5 in the Stabilized Lemons.---

Felix, to be clear, are you also looking for a receiver with telemetry but without a gyro? If so, how many channels?
If I was looking for a wish list it would be
1- A real seven channel RX ( all seven channels usable without turning off the gyro function) . Panic recovery is not so important to me but brakes are. We have a short runway.
2-Remote gain
Telemetry would be nice to have but not as important as the 2 features above , But my wishes for telemetry are
1-Speed sensor
2-Altimeter
3-Battery voltage ( not voltage at the BEC )
To be clear ( sorry if I wasn't on my original post ) Telemetry is something I would like to play with , but not as important as a real 7 channel RX with remote gains
Thanks Felix ..
