Status: offline 		The future shipments of them will. The first shipment, the one that has sold out, did not have the tank. The red ones coming in a month or so should have the smoke tank, throw meter, pre-drilled holes for the control arms, and all SAE hardware.

Status: offline 		Ditto. It is rock-solid in upright harriers and a trainer in inverted harriers, shows a good pitch departure in the snaps without sending it way off track. The wings are very light, which makes rolls start and stop on a dime. It is an absolute floater at 25.5 pounds, even at my 6500 foot altitude, and it is a very predictable flyer. The only thing I found that will take some time to set up perfectly is aileron differential. The manual doesn't suggest any, but I found that I do need some. Once I get the CG and right thrust worked out, I will tackle the differential and have a super, super sweet flying plane, as opposed to the super sweet flying plane I have now!

Status: offline 		I was using 8411's on the ailerons and 8611A's everywhere else.

But I had the cases to my 8411's break (they were used in my 1/8 scale R/C car so I'm not surprised).

So right now I have 8611's on one side and 8411's on the other until my new cases and gears arrive for the 8411's.

So for now I'm not adding differential till I go back to the same servos on each wing

Status: offline 		Hi SU-31. I am using 4 Hitec5645s on ailerons, 2 Hitec5945s on elevators, 1 Hitec5955 ( ! ) on rudder, and 1 Hitec 425 on throttle. I stick my finger through a hole in the bottom of the cowl for choke. Futaba 9 ch. PCM rec. DA 100 with stock mufflers. Stock everything else, as it came from Aeroworks. 2 TBM 2800 Li-Ons with Maxx Miracle switches and 6 volt regulators on receiver. 1 1500 4cell Expert NiMH with JR heavy duty charge switch on ignition. If I get bucks-up I would like to replace each servo with Hitec 5955s all around. Tom

Status: offline 		No comparison whatsoever for either of them. The smaller planes are always a lesser flyer. Both of the Funtanas have pretty bad wing rock in 3D, the QB doesn't. Hope that helps.

Status: offline 		safest investment for large scale. The airplane is being used in both 3-D and IMAC very well.

It lands better than a trainer. Unlike Bodywerks....mine is in the 28-29lb range and flies likes its around 24lbs

(I've got larger batts and cans)

Status: offline 		Hey I see you have a QQ YAk. I have the 85"er. I was wondering how you would compare the 260 to the Yak, I know they are totally different designs but I'm wondering how they compare. I am really thinking about buying the 260 since I have yet to see a bad thing about it.
