I have the same plain. its arf almost ready to fly. you need to but the wings and the 2 tail pieces it will be flying by time the battery is charged

How did you set up the flaperons with the DX6i? I have a DX6i and AR6100 receiver.

I believe you plug in one aileron to the AILE and the other aileron to the AUX1 ports on the receiver.

Also, what switch on the DX6i do you flip to make the switch over to the different modes and how do you tie the ailerons in with the rudder?

As always thanks for all your help and great series. I can't wait to take my SC out soon with your mods :).

Thanks!
