Hi Edoc,
The Lite Machines Corona is a durable, stable flying model. In fact I liked it so much that I purchased another and now have two. I have been flying the Corona for over 2 years and hundreds of flights and I still enjoy it. Many different combinations of electronics will work in the Corona, I am using an Astro 20 brushless (voyager), I tried the Astro 20 (Corona) but the Voyager has a little more power. I use an 8 cell NIMH 3300Mah pack with Deans connectors. The 8 cell pack provides better performance for the Corona and I get about 8 minutes of flight time. I use a Castle Creations Phoenix-45 speed control, although the Phoenix-35 will work. I’m just more comfortable with a speed control that can dissipate more heat and take a higher surge current. I use HS-85MG servos for elevator and aileron and an Electron 6 receiver. I have found that the ball bearing/metal gear servos operate smoother and repeat better and these are desirable characteristics for cyclic control. I fly a JR 410t gyro in one Corona and a JR 500t in the other. The 500t has remote gain. They hold rock solid and I have had no problems with either one. To improve flying characteristics, a cnc swash plate, 5 mm titanium main rotor shaft, and belt driven tail rotor really makes a difference. Those I purchased from Ballistic Technology. Perhaps others will post their setups offering you more choices. Anyway, I hopes this helps.
