I have several shockflyers with AXI2208/34, AXI2204/54, Hacker B200 Baby, all using different servos, rcvrs, speed controls, etc to evaluate them. I am going to try CDROM 18 turn and Nippy 0508.

My favorite setup now is:

Edge 540 Shockflyer

AXI2204/54

JETI 08 advance

HS-55 servos

Kokam 2 cell 340 (tight space indoor), Thunder Power 2 cell 860 HD(indoor/outdoor), Kokam 3cell 340 (be careful w/throttle and amps! for shocking vertical)

APC 8x3.8 or GWS 8x4.3(changes pitch at high rpm)

Carbon fiber card stock for various stiffners (hobbylobby)

Weight 5.8oz to 6.2oz with landing gear.


I have found flying weight is the key. Very light planes don't break when hard crash.
