Nope it ain't my kit. Looks like the Shipley import? Trust me, use at least 140 oz servo's for everything but the rudders where 65oz BB servo's will do. To do it right you will spend at least $1200 total on servos!

Lets see now,
$3995 on the kit
$ 600 on wheels, brakes, and air support. I don't know if retracts are included
$6000 on turbines
$ 200 on finishing, or more!
$ 200 on a scale cockpit
$10,995 plus your labor and what ever servos you use.........

And you want to save $500 on servos? Please don't!!!

And when you have to abort a landing be prepared!! Two second spoolup time may sound like a short time but you will be suprised how long it will be and how much ground you will cover before the turbines start to build power! And then, those high mounted turbines will do their damndest to drive that gattling gun into the ground! If you want an idea what it's like try mine in Real Flight addon #3. Then I GARUNTEEE you will want 250 oz servos on the elevators!! Any other questions you have feel free to contact me, off line.

Best of luck with your project!
