Fernando - I'll be doing a full write-up on my website when the model is complete. It's about done.

I don't like my engine choices at the moment. On the left is the OS .61 FX. On the right is the YS .91. I think this plane definitely needs a 4-stroke, but I'm not sure about the YS because I got it from somebody else. It was set so far from where it should have been I wonder if the engine will be reliable. The pump was backed all the way out. It ran ok on the test stand a couple years ago, but that's all I know about the engine.

The covering sucks. I wish I knew what it is because I would never buy it or another ARF covered with it. The build is ok but not to a standard where I would be proud to say I built it. The instructions are mostly good but a couple things left out. There are two squares of plywood that I have no idea what to do with. The axles are way too short to use the wheel pants which isn't a problem for me because I won't use them anyway. Wheel pants are nothing but problems on a field as rough as the one I fly at.

Anyway, if you like ARF's then there are no significant problems other than the covering. I just don't like doing things the hard way. I'd have rather built the plane from a kit so that things could have been addressed when I could have done them more accurately and with less frustration. I have a very low BS tolerance and this plane surpassed it too frequently. But again, I think it's an ARF thing not a problem peculiar to the inspire. I think it will fly great once I get it trimmed and tweaked over a few months of flying.

And no, I don't think standard servos will be adequate. I'm using dual servos mounted in the bottom of the stabilizer (Hitec 225's), a pair of Futaba 9202's for the ailerons and a Hitec 635 for the rudder.
