Got the Turmoil in the air this morning, heaps of pull with a 2209 outrunner using a 9x4.7 SF prop. Hover was very stable and I just had to breathe on the rudder for knife edge (low rates were better!!).
Key stats are:
Total weight 340gm (12oz)
Components: 3S 800mah battery 67gm (2.4oz), motor 42gm (1.5oz), rx 8gm (0.3oz), JR371 servos 9g (0.3oz) x 3.
Wing loading: 18g/dm (5.9oz/sqft).
Power: 118W, so 347w/kg (157w/lb).

A couple of points:
1. The manual suggests a weight ~235gm (8.3oz) and I am 45% heavier than this - I can't see how I would get to this weight, what does yours weight?
2. I found that my GWS and Tower Pro servos wouldn't fit onto the servo arms provided in the kit (very annoying) and that I needed to use other servos to make it work (ie. JR, Hitec, Futaba), is there a work around for this or would I need to change all the linkages? My JR371's don't centre well and I would like to switch in my Tower Pro servos which are excellent.
