FINALLY today was "maiden" day. The DLE 20 performed flawlessly, the ML 110 (balanced per spec) flew extremely well, and the mileage / duration of a 10 oz tank with this setup is simply heavenly. SO much better than being bound to 8 minute batteries. Lucky I was alone - if others were there, I'd have heard all about being an air hog.
ANYWAY - it is a really VERY good setup, wire gear is just great, knife edge is unreal, and it is capable of ANYTHING I want it to do. The HobbyKing coreless, high-torque, high speed dbl ball bearing servos are also really doing a fine job job of centering and holding...very precise. I'm still smilin'.
