Thanks for that quick reply cynr100, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. I've been reading your posts with interest and want to hear about the mods you made to your AXN for slope soaring.
Just to confirm, if I buy the 9XR (no module), a 2200mAh lipo battery and Phoenix V4 I will be able to start practising straight away?? I'll buy the 2.4 GHz combo later when I get the AXN.
I was reading another thread where you helped a noob (rocketnz) get started with his AXN. He decides to go solo, no instructor, just teach himself. Then he rushes out to fly and plops the AXN down hard because he got the ailerons reversed. Goes home glues up the plane and then relaunches and flies like a bloomin champ. I just hate it when that happens, I know it will probably take me a year to get that good.
I really want to write an acerbic reply to that guy and let him know that normal noob pilots probably hate him.
