Improved setup for the MD Hobby E0717 kit build from the PNP version - flt 5 #rc #rcplane #E0717

The MD-Hobby E0717 can be purchased as a kit or PNP kit on Banggood. I bought the PNP kit and added my Radiomaster R86C receiver. The build went fairly well as I followed ‪@PropsWheels‬ build video of the same PNP kit. He provides some excellent tips and ideas for finishing the model. I did have some initial challenges flying it but after adjusting the various throws and expo this is a successful flight. The plane is rather floaty, especially in a breeze. My setup is: Ailerons 50% weight 50% expo Elevator 80% weight 45% expo Rudder 80% weight 40% expo Even this setup could be relaxed to provide an even smoother flying experience. Off camera I did perform a roll with the setup above so there is still plenty of aileron authority. I'll be trying out some other settings in future flight videos. I am thinking of modifying the wind and adding flaps by splitting the aileron near the middle and then increasing the aileron weight. The servos would need to be adjusted to allow the existing aileron servo to properly act as a flap servo. I would then add 2 outer servos to control the ailerons. My current receiver is a 6 channel one so that would fit right in. Here is the link to Props & Wheels build video    • MD-HOBBY E0717 1030mm 4CH RC Airplane PNP ...
