I was hoping to setup my mode switch so I have STABILIZE instead of MANUAL mode, so that the IMU helps normal flight. But it doesn't work if I change the code. Can it be done any other way?
What I want
1. STABILIZE
2. AUTO
3. RTL
cheers

My dynam hawk sky airplane came with 2 5 by 6 propellers, but I can't find any replacements. The closest one I can find to the right size is 6 by 4. But the propeller cannot have a 6 inch diameter because it would hit the planes body. Does an

Hey,
I have a 6.0oz Flip Ultra HD. Do you think if I strap this on to my easystar then this could hold this and not have any major differences in flying? If this is too heavy, then I'll get a keychain cam, but the Flips have amazing video quality, so
