I am about to pick one of these up. I am teaching myself how to thermal and this seems to be the perfect dlg for that task. As a background I have had a Blaster, XP3 and a homemade DLG, with 4 control surfaces and it was focused on flying the plane vs looking for lift. I want to focus on looking for lift, I am expecting the Photon (polyhedral wing) will fly pretty much hands off and with only rudder and elevator inputs I can be sure that its external forces acting on the plane and not the control surfaces.
So.... a couple of questions:
1. I am getting the RE version not the REF version, will I miss the flap?
2. How can I slow the plane down w/o flaps.
3. Any tips on flying RE, in the past I have ALWAYS had ailerons.
4. How long should my first flights last.
5. Any other photon II tips you can think...
