RE: Flying first time
Thanks for the great advice, this plane has been basically built for the saito .91 it's been redone with a wider fuselage and 87" wings, and covered with ultra coat, I think it's called. Also the wings are in two pieces with turnbuckles in the center wing. Sorry don't know all the lingo. The leading edge is carbon fiber coated and the inside stringers are carbon fiber reinforced. Now this info is all according to the seller and pics he sent me. The man who builds planes has over 20 years of experience and has built many scratch planes. I hope to have it next week. I also ordered all new servos "hitec digitals" and still need a Rx for my dx8.
What about a ratcheting rudder and throttle stick on my radio, ever fly without it ratcheting, because mine in setup for helicopters and really don't want to switch back and forth.
