Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

DanPeoples, did you pick up that balsa bi plane at a store or on the net? Like to find one as it strikes my fancy for the first body I try these AA guts on. Can you get more specific about it's flight ability or how you went about the build?

While on the subject, can somebody give some rough data as to max weight of a plane body before electronics install for the AA guts? Also need to know roughly max wind length so I can start shopping around at toy stores for bodies.

Anybody ever figure out who sells the mini charging plug for the AA? Something at Radio Shack I can mod? I'm wanting to make an adapter for my lipo charger but don't want to hack off the TX plug.

Seen some blurbs about making the AA RX board even lighter. Would like to hear what you guys have done to lighten the thing? Perhaps removing the plastic cover, soldering on new parts, etc. Think I saw reference to replacing the capacitor on it?

Are all these AAs tending to be tail heavy from the factory. Seems most of you guys are moving the battery forward in the nose so there is no need for a penny/nose trick. Once I'm confident my electronics are going to last I'll be moving that battery forward.
