Default RE: pylon racer: what one to buy??


ORIGINAL: e-flight22

right now im leaning more towards the stinger or skat just cuz i like the t-tail configuration, thought it looked cool. what do you think about these??? any suggestions or recommendations about these ones or different pylon racers would be great. thanks for your help
I have a Speedy 400, a pylon trainer basically, originally powered by a brushed Graupner Speed 400 6V. This plane has the T-tail. I have since modified the plane for dual aileron servos and also a brushless Mega 16/15/3. Definitely not a trainer any more. I find the T-tail makes the plane VERY sensitive to elevator input. I use a plain-jane Hitec Focus 4 transmitter, so no exponential or dual rate available. However, I can limit the total travel or servo "throw", and this helps. You might find the same sensitivity with other pylon racers with T-tails.
