Tufflight 4D
Anybody have any experience with these? We're building one and almost complete. Built it per the manual but I'm a little concerned about how much play there is in the linkages. Iguess I shouldn't say "play" so much as "stretch". This thing uses nyrod for linkages which I'm not too crazy about to start with, but even though the connections are tight with no slop, there is a good bit of deflection due to the bends necessary in the control rodsat the ends of the nyrod.
Also any experience with flight charistics and overall satisfaction with the model in general I'd love to hear.</p>

See this lengthy thread for comments on the 4D: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_20...mpage_5/tm.htm</p>

Hint: Use the Google search box at the bottom of the appropriate forum and do a search on the topic of your interest. I have found a wealth of info that would take hours to "stumble" across otherwise........

RE: Tufflight 4D
I have had more fun with my 4D than any other model I have owned, and I have been flying r/c for 33 years now. I have several of the Tuff Flight designs, and enjoy them all. The 4D is "carefree". You can't break it. It taught me 3D flying. I have doinked it more than I can count, and I just change the prop and go fly again. A bit unorthodox on the construction methods, but it works! Buy one, you will like it!!!
