RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

If that little gas engine works out Tom

Can't wait to see what the little...

I'm sure those arms are very good for standard throws and non...

RE: 1.20 Edge Review, the beginnings

You are correct about the elevator recess tabs, they are set back, and fit the 5625/5645 (and most standard size) servos with no modifications needed.
