RE: world models sukoi 30 engine, .46 to much?
In case you're interested, this was my WM Cap232. Flew great until I did the stupidest of things. When I put on the wing, had the aileron servos attached incorrectly. When I did my pre-flight checks, it looked right to me and I flew. Turned the plane upside down trying to level it, it slid for about 5 feet before and slamming into the concrete barriers. Fuse was a complete write-off but the wing I gave to a friend who is on his 3rd WM Cap232.
Since then, I use Y-cables for those planes I don't plan for acrobatics. For those that I do fly "spiritedly", I now clearly label the servo leads so as never to have that occur again! Also, I pay specific attention to aileron control during pre-flight checks. It only takes one accident to make you phobic!
