Hey all. This is my first post. The wealth of information exchanged on this site is unbelievable. After searching and reading a lot the last week or so, I decided to buy my first plane...a Space Scooter. I flew it for the first time today and managed to keep it airborne for about 3 minutes before crashing it. I ended up breaking the prop (3 APC 9X6 props plus a 3:1 BB gearbox on the way from servocity.com) but had a great time. I also ordered 2 extra 7 cell 1600mah NiMH batteries but have not used them yet. I wanted to get a feel for the plane using the stock 600 NiCd.

My question regards the throw that the elevator and ailerons have as they come set from the factory. I have read about people cutting slits in the ailerons for better action, but I have not heard any discussion as to the holes used on the servo horns and brackets that are glued to the foam.

If I move the mounting points further away from the center of the servo and closer to the aileron and elevator brackets, I will increase the travel of the flaps. In theory, I should be able to climb faster, and turn sharper provided I have enough power at the prop. Right?

Thanks in advance for all the help.
