Funny that - me too  the plan was to rip all the radio gear from the Belt and put on the CopterX clone, but by the time the clone kit arrived from overseas I'd already bought the other kit. Still to ... |

| You answered my question by the end of your post - your pitch mix needs to be closer to 100% (or whatever % reaches +/-10) to get the full range.
I don't think 60% is a requirement or anything - it ... |
