Here is a video I did of the new Masters. You have to use a "Video capture" program to be able to watch RF on YouTube so the quality sucks. Some obvious downgrades in the sequence, but not too bad.<div><br></div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="im"><p class="MsoNormal">A few weeks ago I upgraded from 5.0 to 6.0 and found I
needed to make some adjustments. First off, I have flown every pattern plane in
the “swap files” and can say (in my opinion), the Spark Evo is by far the best,
but it didn’t do it right out of the box, so to say. Again, in my opinion, the
Osiris in the swap files is way off. You can tweak on it a bunch and it still
isn’t right.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OK, for you guys that are having problems loading the Spark.
When you go to the “Swap files” you will find the “Black” Evo. This is the one
you want to download first. All of the others are just “color variations” and
will not work without the Black loaded first. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question….If your buddy handed you his transmitter and said
go fly my plane, you most likely would want to make adjustments to get it to
your liking. The same thing is true with a simulator plane. When I was running
5.0 I found I needed to make just a few tweaks to the Evo, but needed some
pretty radical adjustments in 6.0. The Swap files now have an Evo that is
supposed to be set up for 6.0, but I didn’t find it to be the case. Also, a “contra
prop” version is available now. In my case, I find the original Black to be the
best with adjustments. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OK, “down line “speed. How would you change it on a real
plane? If it’s electric we can change the braking, but that is not available in
RF. The other method is to put on a smaller or larger diameter prop, which we
can do in RF. The down line speed of the RF Evo is a bit too slow, but I haven’t
messed with it, but it’s certainly possible to do so.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am not at my home computer now, so I can’t give you guys
my tweaks, but I can latter today if anyone wants them. I even had to go as far
as changing the CG and batteries to get the feel I wanted. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div><p class="MsoNormal">So is it worth the fifty buck upgrade to 6.0? In my opinion
without a doubt, but I don’t find the planes fly any better. What you are
getting is two new great features. The first one is “trails”. You can now add a
trail to your flight path that stays on the screen. You only thought you were
flying in strait lines until you add trails. </p><div class="im">
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second is “rewind”. If you hold the reset button on the
controller it will rewind the flight path. Just last night I used it a bunch.
Fly a maneuver just a bit off…just rewind and do it again, instead of having to
set up again for the maneuver. Gezzz, I sound like a RF salesman!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s a whole different subject, but the biggest question is “will
a simulator help my pattern flying”? Long story short, it all depends on what
you put into it and understand the limitations of a simulator. Personally, I
have found it to be invaluable. I have about twenty real flights on the new Masters,
but I would guess at least a hundred on the simulator. Winter has set in in the
Pacific Northwest, so it’s pretty much
simulator time until spring. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">OK, a couple of things I do. I have not had good luck using “keep
ground in view”. I find the plane gets too small. I use “automatic zoom” almost
all the time. You will not have ground reference, but it least you can see the
plane. </p>
