Mike:
I think the MAN Backyard
Flyer mag. did a roadtest on this plane. If I recall with the gear
reduced motor that it was not a skyburner. Maybe 20 mph max.

For the servos, I wouldn't pay the price for the 55's but get the
HS 50's instead or the Cirrus 21 or 25. Plus, use 8 cell pack min.
Too many times the planes are underpowered and they just
wallow around on the verg of stall. Run your pack down after
first chg. (without flying) not full throttle though. Now recharge
and this will give better power and duration. Every time I go out
the first flight stinks until the pack gets warmed up.

Oh -- forgot about the fuel. Get a good Sanyo 600 AE 8 cell pk.
or as I did by going to WalMart in the stereo dept. and bought
the 720mah AAA NiMH batteries and made up a 9 cell pack. On
the NiMH cells, you need one more cell than nicads to get the same oomph.
