Floyd, do you have a programmer for your ESC? I assume you are using the Hacker controller? as Igor said, its programmed into the speed controller, some are not programable. And your observation about the shorter glide is pretty much the only issue in AMA rules. However I think there is something in FAI that requires the prop to stop prior to the "landing" begining?
( this is Not a knons fact, just based upon what I have read online)
