Default RE: F3A Formosa ARF Park Flyer GWS

Eldon, I just picked one up last week. Finished building it Tuesday. Real easy build. Nice plane! I haven't had a chance to fly it yet due to a 5 day business trip to the east coast. I will be home Monday and hope to take it out for its first flight on Tuesday. I will post the results when I'm finished playing with it. Just FYI, I replaced the motor with a hotter wind unit (not sure the name, I don't have it in front of me), HS-55 servos, Castle Creations Pixie 20A Speed control, Kokam 1100mah 3s1p batteries and GWS mechanical retracts using HS-55 servo. I'm not sure of the all up weight yet but I know it's under 16 oz. The model is meant to be 12-14 oz. out of the box in std. configuration so it will be interesting to see what it really is. I'll keep you posted.
