    A2 channel mixer K1-K6

    Am I correct in assuming k1-k3 are the basics gains and k4-k6 are the altitude gains? Manual doesn't say. Should I asign 1-3 to a dial? I have k1-3 set at 150% and k4-6 @ 110% for my maiden. When I do assign them I see the channel is functioning in the mixer but the set gain values don't...

    A2 receiver vs external. What are you using and why?

    I do have a 7008sb reciever but I'm thinking I will use the built in reciever as this eliminates a connection and an additional failure point. The down side is I cannot use voltage telemetry to my 14sg. What are you guys using and why? Pros and cons? Thanks.

    6 x kde 55+ esc 2 flights.

    Used 2 flights. Upgrading to 75amp. Both servo wires and power wires have been extended. I have also added shrink wrap over the entire esc because I didn't like how the capacitors were not supported. I did this after speaking to Patrick and he agrees it's a smart idea. $40 each. Usd...

    Do you guys solder your servo pin connectors?

    Just wondering of it's worth it as an extra layer of protection to take all my servo pin connectors out and soldering them on the crimp connection. Do you do it?
