Epic Evo update

 Epic Evo update:

Have logged 10 flights to date...I continue to make adjustments to achieve the feel I desire.  To improve the pitch feel the elevator clevis was moved in one hole at the servo.  I am planning to move that in an additional hole before the next flying session which should reduce/minimize the expo amount and improve the resolution.

The last couple of flights were in front of a fellow pattern pilot who commented on how constant the speed was with the up, down, and horizontal lines. I mentioned I had changed to an APC 22x13 carbon prop plus made adjustments to the throttle curve and in-out throttle channel response.  I like this prop a lot and plan to test its performance on my Epic + and Invitation G2.
