Phoenix Ready to Go

...along with the Dx6i

I have finally completed programming of the my Spektrum Dx6i transmitter and am happy to report that all systems on the Phoenix are working well.

I am going to try running the flaps on the Phoenix "back-to-front", that is having them slightly reflexed for powered flight and then set them neutral for gliding flight and landing. This should help to reduce the tendency to climb sharply under power. I can also alter the degree of flap reflex and change elevator trim if required. This should be interesting to try out...

I've also changed the power setting of the transmitter from EU to US, which apparently gives about twice the range, equating to an absolute range of about 500m, in my experience. That should be sufficient to should resolve any signal-loss issue, although that will remain to be confirmed in practice...
