Default RE: A GLH for 2012

Thanks CP,
My first one had FP-28 servos! I think my old full size 4 channel am reciever weighed twice what a new 8 channel does and 10X what the berg does. I covered it in econokote so it wouldn't melt the foam same 270 nicad and with a TD on backplate pressure it was still fast for the day. I'm thinking if I keep the rpm's down with more pitch the engine may live longer. I am going to start with a 4 1/2 X 4 (on it in the picture) and see how it does. It may take a dive to get it up on step, but I'm thinking the 4" pitch at less rpm will get me faster than a 3" anyway, so I haven't even bothered to run a rubber ducky on it.
