Dual rates help with about 8mm of throw in each direction for launch, 5mm for high speed 40% expo 3/4 throttle have a friend give a good level toss at a 25 degree up angle. Be ready to give a little up and right to fight the torque. A failure to launch can be repaired as I’ve done it like 10 times but if you put this in at full speed it’s going to be pieces!Good luck :)

I run mine on 6s but lose the servo action when going high speed. I get servo control back when it slows down. Also your motor will burn out. The esc will be fine, but the magnets on the motors will wear out on 6s
