I made an assumption that if this is your first gasser, you would likely take it easy on the controls to start with. If you set up the throws like Tom says to, the plane will be a nice gentle flyer on low rates. It will be a handful on high rates, unless you are used to that style of flying. Regardless, with the setup I have described previously, The plane has a very wide flight envelope.

Though I have been flying for many years, I prefer sport flying to the 3D level. With the set up Ihave I can do either. If you plan to 3D all the time, you might want to go with the better servos.
