Yes Aidan, you are no novice, perfect flying of this multimotor warbird, with attention to keep it on the move at all times, right down to landing.
The types can bite you, but your ability to maintain smooth level wing flying made this a joy to watch.

All, good advice given here Neddy, but for a good chance of success, the Gain should be turned right down initially, as suggested.
Let's test your set up before the maiden.
The Stab should be fixed down, cushioned, but no movement.
Now switch the tranny, model and rx on.
lift the port wing, the port aileron, should go Up.
lift the starboard wing, the starboard aileron should move Up.
Now lift the tail, the elevator should move Up.
moving to the side of the model
push the tail away from you, the Rudder should deflect away.
pull the tail towards you, the Rudder should deflect towards you.
Now turn each gain down, just enough to just hear each servo respond to movement.
give the model a fly

Have all required qualifications and bmfa insurance. It's not illegal in public spaces to fly. Just looking for where..was hoping someone may be using an area and have an idea. Clubs seem more restrictive in my opinion..usually the result of committes and people with nothing better to do than make more and more ridiculous rules.
Here we go again
Am watching with interest

suddenly the screen came on. I wasn't in the contrast menu when it did though, which was weird;
Now you have success
Thoroughly check the roller on the right, and the corresponding click button
As all along, your roller may not have rolled or the clicker clicked
You can pick up the whole mechanism online to replace it or use switch cleaner

Had a few minutes on one of those Hughes this week , indoors. Impressed. ! Don’t like the tiny Tx tho. Shame u can’t bind to Spekkie like my Goosky. Colin
I have gained 2 extra indoor models for my DX6i simply by plugging a Spektrum Satellite Receiver into DSM to the main board of models marked thus

I know this combination works, the NX8 and the AR8360T, as have helped out at least three lads. But, these were done without the extra helps and whistles of dual rate and expo.
Have found over time that giro in general can reject failsafe, and twice have had to to buy a failsafe.
Have found too, 2 things about Spectrum throttle, that it needs a value present, and can appear OFF, but is reversed and not trimmed UP.
Also, Spektrum Kill Switch, has to free moving to 104%
And Servo travel can make throttle inopperable.
I would try next using the TAER regular channels without rates to check working

Oh Derek, please check that the 18x8 is not a Typo mistake, as it seems so being way overpropped.

At 5 - 6 foot, by 1 foot square, boxes are expensive, around £20 Simon, but you can make one from boxes with strip wood framing.
Carriers need a phone call and deliver 5 - 6 foot packages £10 - £15.
This is why most sellers advertise large items to collect.

In settings
Go to Ground in view, and tick that
Now fly

Sorry to harp on again about the value of flight sims, set up correctly with Ground IN View.
Over the decades at my 2 clubs, chaps have arrived at the field, and flown reliably enough to be flying alone, without previous instruction, but had used flight sims to gain knowledge, 5 chaps.
Other able flyers have learned and practiced acrobatics to bring to the field, learned at home.
Just use a flight SIM 10 - 15 minutes a day, to move forward.

Right Ned
The transmitter should be fully charged, but not switched ON.
The transmitter is always switched OFF
The transmitter comes ON when the Phono is plugged into it.
The computer uses just the sticks of the transmitter and does not need the RF board live.
-
One end of your Phono lead goes into the USB dongle, the dongle then goes into the computer USB socket
Then the remaining Phono goes into the back of your transmitter
-
My Phoenix does work on Windows 11, but I have to follow this sequence for it to launch.
Assume the Phoenix is installed and the computer is now OFF.
Get the transmitter, which is also Off, and plug in its Phono lead plug.
The transmitter will then come on.
Now put the other USB end into the computer.
Now switch on the computer and allow loading to finish.
Now try to launch Phoenix.

Do you have the transmitter manual Ned that shows calibration?
As there is a whole load of joystick calibration to do, and may help you get it working.

How would this protect against a typical on-line transaction where you have to supply an unencrypted cvv code? The 3 pieces of info are typically provided to multiple suppliers and organisations so it only requires a single crooked employee to leak your details.
You can't protect, as you point out, against this Martin. Those details are all that is needed to complete a transaction.
online purchases, done electronically, do not provide the shop with your cvv, so is safer than speaking down the phone
