E-Flite Splendor

[Michael]

I maindened my new E-Flite Splendor yesterday, and while the first flight was successful, it was difficult a bit, especially on landing. When I discovered that I was flying with -20% exponential on my JR radio, I knew the second flight would be better. It was. 

Anyway, the purpose of this post is to comment on the way this plane rolls.

Mike Hazelton was spotting for me when I flew the plane, and we were amazed at how well and linear this plane rolls. After a 360 degree roll, I let go of the sticks when the wings were level, then the model stopped rolling just past level and then twisted/rolled back perfectly level.

I wondered how this model was leveling itself when I let go of the aileron stick but never gave opposite aileron to compensate.

Well, last night I remembers how the AS3S receiver works in this model; it corrects the attitude of the plane to the stick inputs from any variance such as wind and other factors. I surmise that when I let go of the aileron stick, the model is still rolling from the inertia of the roll, but the AS3X corrects that to the position where I let go of the stick.

Just amazing.

I got the same plane! It flies awesome. In fact, you were the first one to maiden mine.
