RE: choosing second plane
I agree that too much power is well, too much power. I'm meaning I like to have enuf power to go vertical, doesn't have to rocket into the sky just climb up there. I've learned alot about throttle management mainly because one day we got bord out on the flied and decided to pull an OS 55ax with 12x7 APC out of one of his planes and install it into my trainer. Man that was incredible power to weight. Little too much at that, almost ripped the wings off lol.
But I'm seriously considering the Escapade .60 to install this engine into. It looks nice, fairly cheap, and has a huge wing area, wing loading is about 23-27 though so it's not as good as a stick but WAY more attractive.
Do you guys trust nylon geared servo's or metal all the way? I'm looking for core-less and found the Futaba S9001 and I would run a LiFe battery 3200mah for it on a Spektrum A6210 receiver so I can re-use the DX5 that I have.<br type="_moz"/>
