RE: Help! Whizzard is a PIG
In one of my nostalgia fits (they happen sometimes) I built a Jr Falcon and outfitted it with FULL size Futaba AM servos, a 7 Channel AM reciver, and an old 400mah NiCad battery. Yep, it was an oinker, BUT the medallion flew it just fine. I removed the case from the big reciever (just to make it fit) and wrapped just the board in foam. Had no problems with it for years. Most of the small FM recievers have no case, just a thin wrap of plastic anyway, so it is do-able. Now I just use the small Berg FM recivers and have had zero failures. But back then we made some heavy stuff fly. I had an old Wizzard with full size servos back in the day and it would fly fine with a reedie. Yes, CP is right, they all fly better when lighter, but most of us spent years flying some bricks back then and still had fun.
