Welcome to the club!

I agree that the VR.1 knob is too sensitive for camber. Haven't found a good
way to make it less sensitive. The only suggestion I can come up with is
when you set up crow make sure to set channel 6 (flaps) to 100% and then
limit throw with EPA for ch 6,7. This will make VR.1 less sensitive relative
to the flap stick than leaving EPA at 100% and setting crow/ch 6 to less
than 100%.

The latest thing I heard from Hitec is that our friendly rep is fighting
hard to get sailplane-related issues addressed for software updates. He
estimated it will take at least six months as their engineers are working on
other things, too. At this point he could not promise anything because "our
problems do not affect 95% of other users".

Reading between the lines, I can't help but wonder - why is it necessary for
our rep to fight with his management for us?

That's it - we are second class citizens for radio manufacturers!

P.S. Thanks to everybody who responded to my earlier posts about this radio
