Batteries; Thunder Power 5s 6000's running as a 10s to the motor. Receiver battery is a Thunder Power 2s 1300 without a regulator or a backup.

Flying Advanced - I use 6 Conditions:
1: Normal; All flying except when in one of the other conditions
2: TEST; Used when I want to try something new or different in flight
3: Stall Turn
4: Spin
5: Ground; Used on start-up to arm ESC and to help insure motor won't spin unless another condition is slected
6: Takeoff and Landing

RUDDER TO ELEVATOR:
Aircraft has a slight pull to canopy durning left and right knife edge flight.
Aircraft has a push to the belly durning flat rudder turns.
Not planning to use mixing at this time.

RUDDER TO AILERON:
Not checked at this time

DOWN-LINE:
Aircraft pulls to canopy on down-line.
5 degree of down elevator mixed at idle for Normal, Spin and Stall Turn Conditions.

UP-LINE:
Aircraft pulls to canopy and a right yaw on higher power up-line.
Aircraft has a push to belly on power cut in level flight.
Did not want to change motor thrust because of how tight (close) I have spinner to nose of aircraft.
Remove T-can - no change. Raised trailing edge of T-can about 3/16 of an inch - no change.
Added down and left thrust to motor - aircraft still has slight pull to canopy but no yaw.
Had to do some sanding to nose of aircraft.
Will live with it for now.
