Thanks for all of the input on this plane. I have one on the way as of yesterday. I plan on using a OS 70 FS II . I chose this engine because I have flown a trainer with it, and a chipmunk and no matter how many maneuvers I did it would not flame out.

I am having a problem choosing servos. I have read some one used a futaba s3004 servo and thought it may not be strong enough for 3D. I too am new to 3D, but I also know the vertical stab needs a pull , pull system. I am looking at the ts-70mg super torque 2bb servos by tower hobbies. Any bad reviews about TH servos ? Are metal gears a no no ?

I have never really deviated from any ARF's manual. If the test pilot says flying wires are necessary I feel they should supply them with the ARF kit.

Please if any one of you guys have changed the landing gear , may you post a pic of it ? Two piece landing gear worries me.

Thanks all .
