The way fuel prices are. 15% works just fine. I did upgade all my Hypers to cermic bearings just in case I want to up the fuel.
Nice save on the antenna failure. I just finished converting all my ships (7) to Specktrum rx's.

Got a couple more flights in on the Tiger this evening. It really flies well. I look forward to changing out the washout and seesaw arms for the Pantera parts as well as the harder dampers. I'm curious to see how that speeds things up. I'm still flying the Raptor 50 flybar and white paddles on this Tiger too.

Tony,
That exact thing happened with me revolution antenna and my tiger. I was just taking off, and it started to glitch violently (PPM) so I set it down fast and found that it was the antenna. Went back to a regular wire until I changed out to the Spektrum last season.

must have been a downdraft

Dampers, How many of you are flying the stiff ones. Thats all I fly.
The next question. How many flights or how do you check them before replacement? So far Pantera 1 has about 6 cases of fuel thru her and with normal sevice to the bearings and all the Dampers still "look ok". I think.

I've been flying the stock dampers but thats about to change. My first set of hard dampners are on the way and will go into this Tiger I have been speeding up. I'll set the Tiger aside pretty soon and get back to the Panteras. I'll be adding flybar spacers and the hard dampners and moving the paddles back to the aft holes again. As for checking dampners, I give the blade grips a wiggle each day before I fly and look for any signs of wear.
By the way, is it spelled "dampners" or "damper"? I have seen it both ways, everywhere.
