I have the Flex Cessna 170 and the Avios Grand Tundra, both with the Aura 8. I have flown these aircraft in 35 mph (blow your hat off) crosswinds doing touch and goes. I actually had one of the more experienced pilots walk out and ask me "How are you doing that?" That is how well the Aura 8 works in these planes. It really does give you more days that you CAN fly than you could without the Aura 8 and does so without the pilot really being aware of what is actually happening up there.
Hi Mike, I have had my Flex RV-8 up for six flights so far. When I tried engaging my flaps at 3/4 throttle the plane pitched up dramatically. (Had to disengage them in order to go back to level flight) It lands and takes off perfect without the flaps. When I tried to pull up from a descent and pull down from a climb there was a serious delay in reaction to my controls. (fighting me all the way) I am plugged into the Aura flight control system. I have not used the high rate flight mode yet.( which is set for full out on all the controls) There are two different settings. Should I unplug the Aura and plug directly into my AR8010T 8 Channel Receiver in order to prevent the delayed reaction? Using a DX8 Transmitter. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, M

Nice job Mike!
What battery did you use in this video?

Have you figured that out yet or is the plane still sluggish coming out of dives?
is that how the pilot comes?
No , it is plain white foam . Easy to paint with model masters paints .
