Default RE: GP YardStick Help (Research B4 U Buy)

I Have a Yard Stick and find it to be a good plane. I do not have the same servos tough. Works ok with stock set up for your first few flights (do not try to fly in any wind). I put a Great Planes S-280 BB motor $20.00 and a 5.1:1 ratio gear box with a 9/6 prop on it $15.00. I find this set up with a 7 cell 700mha bat works great. More speed and better climbs. All in all a good plane. Also I did replace my motor mount with a home made aluminum one. I can attach a photo if you would like.
