Default Which Is Best

Lift,

The four Sceadus I've looked at all were sloppy as hell. Three of them get flown HARD, and the fourth was fluttering big-time until he was told to lock that servo down. I've never seen that much free-play in a model helicopter, period.

But the amazing thing is that they still fly great; very smooth. The Sceadu is a great-looking machine, too. It's canopy is probably the best-looking bleach-bottle 30 canopy I've ever seen. I'm not so hot about the decals or the fin configurations, but this is still one classy-looking ship.

It is really a bit too large for a 30 engine, being like the baby Sluggo in that regard. And they seem to get sloppy awfully fast, although this slop doesn't appear to degrade the flight characteristics enough to get really concerned about. I think it makes an excellent second helicopter, with enough engine.

I wouldn't mind having one; but I'd put a 46 in it.
