Have a few bugs to work out, but it is finally in the air.  I have tried searching and have found some of them but am hoping you could send me to a thread with a comprehensive list of changes from the older kits to now.

At least they are all the way up. My guess is the relay for flaps in stick grip.? All other functions on grip work normal...<br />
