Well this was certainly an opportune post. I only had a chat regarding using flight controllers on planes two days ago. I already have 2 Quanum units but haven't had them flying as yet. I think the more up to date solid state gear would be better than infrared units so bought a couple of the HobbyKing stabilizers. I haven't fitted them as yet. I was waiting until I got a little feedback on their use. I also wanted to experiment with a tiny helicopter type gyro to see if it would be of any use.

One problem I see is using cheaper servos or even the more expensive type if the stabilizer is set rather too extremely. Overuse ofthe servo in question could well lead to premature breakdown or overheating. I watched a YouTube video where the flyer has his elevator and ailerons going mad.

You've given me a little incentive to get to work and fit them, thanks.
