Is the OS 1.40 RX similar in power to the YS 1.40 DZ?
I was thinking about such a setup for the CompARF 2x2 and a YS I have lying around and wondering if it is realistic for IMAC.
Not really looking for 3D insane power at this point in time. DA50 on 11lbs. is not exactly my idea of fun...
Thanks.

Hi All
My 2x2 has flown. I built it with an OS140RX to keep it light so I could use it as a backup Pattern and backup IMAC model.
I put ALL the servos up front and used a bell crank pull pull for the elevator. The model weighs 5.4kg with a lipol and 300g of nose weight.
I took out the lipol and nose weight and replaced it with a 340g 6V 2400mah nicad.
How does it fly?...............beautifully!!!
It will fly F3A and IMAC. After flying it around to see how it rolls, loops, snaps and knife edge looped, I pulled vertical did a 2 of 4 and positive snap in opposite ..............easy!
It balanced well behind the recommended cg range. It will fly inverted hands off. I would prefer it to be a little nose heavier, but at this light wing loading it doesn't have a nasty bone, so I'll leave it.
Cheers
