I had my throttle rod connector slip and my Saito 100 was in pretty much 90% throttle for about 7 minutes...
Lots of vertical motion with flat spins down, and throw in a couple hundred loops...
Just kept it pretty high and floated it down to the runway.
Also per the other "coupling" threads...
There IS alot of rudder coupling. But it'
s not nearly as notcieable at low speeds... the speed which I feel this plane was MADE for.
It's not really a speed demon, and those mondo wings are horrible for snaps and rolls anyway. But for low speed, high alpha moves it is sweet. Also as a slower speed "pattern" trainer, it's not to bad...
I hope someone comes out with a carbon fiber gear for it... that gear that DOES come with it is like 4 lb gear on a 7 lb plane... I've got a "spring stiffenener" between the 2 sides.

I am running 605's on everything except the rudder which has a 645mg. (of course the throttle also had a standard servo) Had a supertigre 91 on it until an unfortunate throttle linkage breakage caused the throttle to stick wide open..... Talk about a handful.........About 2 minutes in to this wild ride the prop broke sending the engine into an unlimited rpm meltdown.......
The plane was landed safe and sound dead and is now the recipient of an OS91 4 stroke transplant
I did think about smaller servos at 6 volts, but the higher current draw equals much less flight time..........
Just some thoughts to ponder............
