...Has anybody ever flown a Dust at 3lb. 6oz. ???
What do you guys think I should go with? Hopefuly Mike will chime in too. I'd like to go with 2 or 3 , so I can leave my Ritewing intact.

Hi Scott,
Your electric specs probably wont mean much to many in this forum but we will see. My vote is #2 because since #1 is in a RTF wing and should be left there IMO and #3 doesn't have enough extra power for the weight added. At 575 sq in the dust will fly ok at 3lb 6oz but will shine at under 3 lbs. My first Dust probably weighed around 3.5 lbs after 100 flights and many repairs and it flew fine. There are a few Screamin Demons flying well at 3+ lbs and have almost 100 sq in less wing then a Dust. There are also a few 4+ lb big block Demons getting ready to fly.
