[QUOTE=I also have a SkyGate Hawk with Olympus power and full internal ducting, flies beautifully but handling this big model is a problem, making it less user friendly.[/QUOTE]
With respect David I must disagree. Maybe you made the mistake of making yours to heavy by using the internal ducting. My bird with the 210g has more than enough and handle better that anything scale at slow flight out there. I wish I had video of the last 2 events and maybe Ky jets dvd will have my evening flight. It flies as good as any large sport jet. Anyone see it fly or has flow will tell you that the Skygate is one of the best out there. Even the new 1.375 Skymaster and large Flyeagle hawks I have witness fly very good. I don't recommend the FEJ due to it's continued failures of it structures. I have witness the last one lose a wing in person.
In case you haven't follow my post I use a blocked off intake ducts and it works with out having to redo every thing inside the jet. I come in at 48lbs dry, 63 wet. Oh yea it can easily break 200 mph but I prefer the slow fight.
It has never tipped a wing or done anything scary.
I am a firm believer in the bigger it is the better is will fly. Of course I am talking about a lighter wing loading.
