Of course he wants one...someone just needs to say which one is best for model videoing and he will be suckered.

Dave,
The wire legs from Springair are really soft. I'm looking for a replacement leg that holds up better, any suggestions?

Err nope! not had a problem with the EDF model even on grass. I always found spring air legs very good.
Only other choice is Robart and I'm not sure if they are any better.

I have a 3/16 nose and 5/32 mains

Here's a video of Bob B's Spark flying with an SM110-52 EDF unit using only 2.8-2.9kW (the standard unit draws about 3.2-3.4kW, Bob has a different wind motor on 9S).

A few other guys have Sparks which should be flying soon with the standard 11S setup - can't wait to see how they go with all that extra power.

Dave,
My std legs were too soft, I switched to Central Hobbies Titanium Alloy legs problem solved.

Guys

I have now had around 50 flights on my Spark and I really love this model, performance on the DS75 fan set up is "sparkling" (sorry) the model is easy to fly like a pattern plane.
The Thunderpower 5000 Extreme cells are holding up well to 80+ amps. I've been using these sets since early September 2007 and performance is still fantastic. Performance benefits from keeping the cells warm before flying (It was 6 degrees on Sunday)
I use a Powerbox Digi switch on the Rx and a Thunderpower 730mAh 2s pack which gives me four safe flights.

I could not agree more the Spark really does fly great.
I think the paint scheme is okay but they don't take advantage of the models lines.

You can design your own scheme and they will paint it for you...
