Does the DX6i have a 'hi-lo rate' switch like the DX5e? I know its a simple point that everyone probably knows, but I've known a lot of people to have it set on lo when it should be on hi, including me. lol. That'll speed it up.

There are infact two one on the elevator channel which limits the speed and one on the aileron that limits the turn.

Perfect,thanks Peter.
Working at full tilt!!!

Thanks for the pcb also,much appreciated.

I dont know if you have tried driving with the elevon wingtailmix activated? It drives very steadily,and the steering is lovely.Reverse is a little too sedate though!
A bit too "old lady" for the arena ,but great for an obstacle course.
A bit of cable tidying and soldering,and it's all systems go!!!
Cheers James.

Probably not the right place for this but while watching James's self right video I found this one. A bit wayout but some brilliant walking mechanisms.
