    Still working on the electronics. As you know i am pretty good with electrical/electronic systems and This is where i plan to make up for the lack of actual flying experience. So to keep it cutting edge, I am using a quad or drone only controller. The controller i am using is generally not good for fixed wing aircraft because it does not support channel mixing (for ailerons and elevons) and it also does not have any support for trims. In fact the controllers i got looks very much like a game controller. Turnigy Evolution. I use these with a good flight stabilizer, the HobbyEagle A3super 3 V2. This works with the digital s.bus input that comes from the IA6C (drone only) reciever and gives me everything i need. Channel mixing, 5 out channels for servos and esc, and by nature the flight stabilizer assumes all trim functions. For me this selection was natural. First time out. With no experience and i bet i will maintain flight on my very first try. Just because i know how to setup and rely on the electronics. But for the moment, I am bench testing. And here is my makeshift testbench:
