[RCSE] DAW KA6

[Gary Milabar <thebar@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm just finishing up my DAW KA6. I'm using a JR X388 transmiter, 4 Hitec
HS85 MG servo's in the wing (Aileron and Flaps) also a Hitec Super-Slim 8 ch
receiver, with a 1700ma battery pack. The rudder and elevator have JR 517
servos.

I changed out the supplied pushrods to Sullivan #585 carbon fiber reinforced
rods which should be a lot stiffer and possibly prevent flutter.

I have also installed the tow release servo and this brings me to my first
question.
What will be the best way to hookup and activate the tow release? The radio
config is as follows:

                            ch 1- throt-spoil
                                 2- left ail
                                 3- elev
                                 4- rudd
                                 5- right ail-gear
                                 6- left flap
                                 7- right flap
                                 8- batt
What are some of the mix setups and percentages that some of U are using?

Last I'm a little worried about test flying this plane. I have been told to
keep the speed up on this plane and that a hand launch probably won't be
enough.  I do not have a winch, nor really a good slope spot. What I do have
is a holliday standard highstart that I will use as ROG, I also do not have
a tow plane yet.
Any other comments would be welcomed.
