Thanks tattoo. How was your vertical with the os25?
Last question. (sorry) I will be building a airmadillo kombat20 which is advertised at 3lbs. It is 4 channel. I have 3 Hobbico cs-12 high speed micro servo. Torque rating is 35oz. Are these servos strong enough for rudder and elevator? I will be using the 3rd one on the throttle and probably a standard servo for ailerons. Thanks.

Dont Do It
I used to have 3 of those KOMBAT 40 PLANES back in 92
They fly nice , But don't waste your money. You have plenty of options AT www.spadtothebone.com these Armadillos are 90.00 a pop for, something you could have built
for 8 to 12 bucks. They advertise 1 1/2 hours in the air, not true maybe if you are familiar and if you are a SPAD will be a snap.
You decide its your moola Just some free advice
Been there done that.
