The real problem is the plane is fairly small so you'll want to keep it close. Mine actually flies pretty smooth going flat out.

Does anyone know how fast these things fly?

Status: offline 		OK first what is everyones "best guess " of how fast their Wonder flies flat out ? 60 MPH ? More ?

Im putting in a MDS .18 but I only have one servo right now, a Expert SL300 which will probably go on elevator. What servos do you all recommend for ailerons ? I was thinking a HS-225MG ?
Would I do better to put some kind of mini servos for ele & ail ?
Guess I'll go with a HS-55 for throttle.

What are your suggestions ?

Thanks,
John

I'm using S3004 and no problems so far
