For the Saitos, we love the plastic scimitar 13x6 props and that's what we supply in the DX kits.

Does your dealer sell ANY master airscrew props? If so, he can get the scimitar servies.

The wood scimitars are lighter and stiffer, and if you don't need extra nose weight, they spool up faster. However, they're not as durable as the plastic ones of course.

Joe

Status: offline 		Hey Guys, I was wondering,do ya'll run 5cell(6volt) rx packs? I am running dx-7w/ar700rx,an have heard about"reboot lockouts" when volts go to low. I am using ds-821 servos.I have a 4 cell pack 1/2 a pack,I built myself(1250mah) and so far have had no problems,keep it charged before flying,but have not had any "marathon" sessions with it. I have also heard that 6v is better for extreme moves(I'm not quite Tail-touching yet) This would be a pain to put new pack in, Just wondering what everyone esle has to say.

Status: offline 		I wouldn't worry aboutl lockout on this plane. It's not all that demanding -- especially considering the highly couter balanced fullyflying control surfaces (require very little servo power with big time control authority).

Besides, who cares if you crash? That's what the 4D is made for!

You probably wont' appreciate the difference between 4.8 and 6V. I say keep it light and you'll be happiest.

We had the first two prototypes flying at Nashbro last fall but they were overbuilt and actually more fragile than the latest version. They had Saito 82s and were 5 lb 3 oz (sort of porky). Jeremy flew mine and he seemed to like it -- especially the roll rate but since he flys mode 1 he didn't do anything really wacky with mine (mode II).

Mark has been flying his prototype all last fall and it normally only needs a little ironing after multiple mishaps. Usually the gear and tail mounts break as desired. On rare occasions, the covering will split-- moreso in colder weather, but it's always fixable with some packing tape at the field and then a few squirts of gorilla glue and then covering patch at home.

My prototype is 4 lb 6 oz with a Saito .72. I think it flys just like a Chinn Yak-- it has the same foil and is virtually identical except for materials used and internal design.

To be honest, I haven't touched my 4D much since we've gotten these Yaks .

The plan is to have kits at Toledo. Send us your e-mail to be notified when shipping starts.
