RE: talon good spad?
My spad has an MDS .58 engine one it running an 11x7 prop. It is fast enough for me and the roll rate on it is pretty decent. I do have landing gear on mine and take off/land like a normal plane. I have a separate mini servo for the steerable tail gear. I have a pitts muffler on the MDS but the oversize carb and MDS design requires one of the exhaust ports on the pitts muffler to be plugged for a reliable running engine. The MDS loves to scream and is a perfect match.
