@@zstrauss1 It's a radio protocol used by the brand FlySky, to communicate between their transmitters and receivers. It used to be the norm for brands to have their own proprietary protocol. For instance, Spectrum has DSM2 and DSMX, FrSky has ACCST and ACCESS, Futaba has S-FHSS, etc. While they all operate over 2.4ghz, they're doing so in their own languages. Brands like RadioMaster and Jumper offer most of their radios with an internal module that offers the ability to emulate pretty much every protocol on the market, with lots of external module options for radios that support them. So in this case, if I bought this plane, and decided I loved RC enough to drop coin on a FlySky Nirvana transmitter, the two would pair up without issue using the built in FlySky AFHDS protocol in both the transmitter and the receiver. The included transmitter is... fine, but it's usually a first upgrade to a RC hangar. Alternatively, I can use my RadioMaster Zorro, with it's internal multi-protocol module set to "Flysky AFHDS" to bind with the plane's included receiver.

@@zstrauss1 That is the RECEIVER… that small thing in the plane that receives the inputs your TRANSMITTER (the thing in your hands) sends out. All RECEIVERS speak a language and can only be used with a TRANSMITTER that speaks the same language. So this RECEIVER hops from channel to channel to avoid interference and will work with a TRANSMITTER that does the same thing.

In the old days, items I reviewed had to be shipped off to the next person to review, so I never really had to worry about storing such items. Most items today, the distributor does not want them back and wants the reviewer to sell the item so as to receive payment for making the review. Most of the items I review end up with my family, extended family and friends so that I can recall them in case I need something for a future video.

I agree too. It might have come that way but deflecting the rudder will cause the water pressure to push against the rudder, further deflecting it and causing oversteer. Turned the other way like all my other aircraft means over-pressure will push the rudder back to neutral straitening the plane out as speed increases

I have this plane as I am a new learning pilot and I absolutely love it. I haven't installed the floats yet however but plan to. All I want to be able to do is velcro a camera to the side of the fuse or top center of the wing and record my flights and be able to play them back and post them or share them with friends. I don't necessarily need or want to be able to use goggles, just record from a Go Pro like camera that I can turn on before takeoff and stop recording after I land and then edit out the beginning and end points from there. What do you recommend camera wise that is good but inexpensive and easy to use with maybe a micro SD card? I wish someone would make this easy to understand and explain for us beginners.
