I am trading for one of these, can't wait. YS1.10 going in......servo suggestions please.

Also, anyone EVER check incidence on this plane?? My Pop scratch built one of thse , Giant sized, in the late seventies. And he spent hours playing wqith incidence.

I will be flying on a grass field, too. Cant wait.
I used standard servos Hitec 425hb. Maybe a little more for the rudder. I just built it and flew it... Tends to climb past half throttle. Most of the time you are flying it slow that's when it looks it's best.
I fly mine with a CHEAP 91 FS Magnum. perfect for balance. As stated by khodges if you land it on either wheel while trying to 3 point it will rock and catch the wing tips. If there is no wind I land mine on the wheels and let it roll out with a little throttle ( If you cut the throttle too quick the wings act like an airbrake and it noses over). With a slight head wind I find it even easier to land. CROSS Wind Leave it on the ground!
