Delta Ray, Fouth Flight

Wind was very light and for the first time I used "beginner mode". It launched easily and seemed to have mixing to give some up elevator effect in turns. Unfortunately, even in a 5 to 10 mph wind, the beginner mode did not allow enough control authority to be able to turn the plane against the wind. I was forced to switch to "intermediate" and in that mode there seems to be no "up" mixed into the turns, and the plane loses altitude in turns without a manual up input. Remember, this plane uses elevons, but even so, a programmed mix of up along with the right-left inputs would keep it more beginner friendly in turns. That said, it flew great. But if you want to teach yourself to fly I still think the Firebird Stratos is the best choice. The Delta Ray would be a great second plane for a beginner, something to advance to and then grow with as skills improve. These two planes sort of complement each other.
