Default RE: Another Guillows RC conversion - a few Q's

Special little airplanes should need special little radios. If you stay with the recommended for flying stock "rubber power" or between 3 to 6 degrees dihedral for this type of flying semi-scale plane, it will have enough rudder to control R-E-M, but make sure you have ample throws on them all. I'm not sure about what you're using for power, I'm just learning about EP, but I'd recommend servos about 2/3rds that size at about half the weight. If it was mine, and I've looked at that model myself, I'd go with full ailerons and sub-tiny 4-6ish gram servos (Blue Arrow, Draganfly etc), it's becoming more practical now. IMHO
