I then converted a MacGregor S/C Tx using Phil.G's encoder and a FRSky module and tried this first with the Witch, it flew fine but my "own" field is very tight with A LOT of big trees around it and as a result I didn't fly it much with the single button Tx until this year when I acquired use of a super site, much more wide open with a proper runway no less. So I re-bound the Witch to the MacGregor Tx and took to flying it there in the calm evenings. This bemused my French friends whose experience of radio control all dates from long after the introduction of proportional control, they are incredulous and have christened it "Voler par le code morse" - flying by Morse code, which I suppose is not a bad description. If you fancy a lightweight single channel model I can recommend the Witch, I use the compound setting with three position throttle and kick up elevator and find that a mid throttle setting of 60% is perfect for normal flying. I even get the timing of the kick up elevator right for a flared landing - occasionally!!
BTW, notice how the black tissue has faded over the last six years - the first four photos are from 2012, the last three from a couple of weeks ago. And the fact that a similar process seems to have hppened to my hair colour!
(just kidding...)
