Thanks guys, I think I will still use the 46 to start with, and see how it goes. Then if needed I'll step it up. Have heared a lot of people say a good 46 matched with the right prop is enough power. But we'll see in time.
I can't really afford all digital servo's! Will the hitec HS425bb be good enough for moderate 3d?
(i.e. Hover, torque roll, waterfalls, harriers, elevators) Also is a 5 cell Rx batt pack a good idea?
I doesn't matter if you have jumbo servos in this plane, it will NOT 3D. standards are ok, I have a hitorq on my rudder.
Hover - yes but difficult due to short tail
Torque roll - a little with a 46. hard to keep rolling
Waterfalls - absolutely out of the question, will not stall, just chases tail in a fast circle
Harriers- way too much wing rock, may get a partial harrier in wind, plane does not like high alpha
Elevators - again, out of the question, the wing rock is terrible
I have tried spoilerons, and flaperons to resolve, still no 3d
this is not a 3D plane, just a cool looking fun fly, H9 3D .40 size plane is the Funtanta.
You might want to also look into the Morris hobbies profile 3D planes, or the GP ucand3d .46
I bought my Pizazzz with the hopes of 3d, but it is not in the cards, it is not a lot of money, but there are other planes out there that perform better......much better
