RE: 40% power setup
Ill admit that the parts of sportsman were a challenge. To be honest I fly mainly 3D and freestyle. I think rolling harrier figure 8's are easier then some of the IMAC sequences. I actually found a group of other 3D flyers that just started flying IMAC.
I am on the list now for the new 40%. I will be purchasing all the other things to make it work in the meantime. Chip Hyde has a nifty CF spinner that has a single bolt through the front instead of all the little screws around the base as with my other spinners.
I like the fact that the wings are built up on Tom's plane. Should make for some really lightweight wings.
So for now I am off to purchase a whole bunch of 8611a's and I might also use some 5955's as well. I will probably go with a Fromeco lion setup this time instead of the usual TBM batteries I use.
