The battery/batteries for the brushless motors will replace the nose weight needed.Just need to order some trim sheets to finish off new nose.Fuzz is now over 2 pounds lighter.

RE: Top Flite Cessna 310 posted

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the info.I was thinking also about breaking in a couple of 55`s on a cheapo artf twin.Not much choice really,either a Twinstar or Dual Ace (civi- that is)

RE: Top Flite Cessna 310 posted

Yeh,but we`re talking about the 55AX

I used 11x7" graupner props on my 46fx,wouldn`t go any lower than this unless you`re into pylon racing.:)
