Default RE: Nitro Models Extra 330 90 - 63"

JustErick,
Thanks for your suggestions. I wasn't too happy with the mechanical advantage of the servos at the time of the picture. I plan on making some adjustments to get everything 90deg with the best mech. advantage. Any suggestions on an alternative elevator set up would be appreciated. Keep in mind I want to 3d but on a budget so weight is a big concern because it will be powered with a cheaper lower output engine.

maineflyer,
Saito 100 thats the engine for this plane. I had one but I sold it for $150. What was I thinking [:@] Never sell a saito.
Even beter would be saito 125. Couple ounces heavier much more power. I would love to go with this engine but I want to keep it low cost. I have other planes that I plan to sink more money in. Thanks for the info on the magnum .91 I will do some more research. It may not be a good choice for 3d in this plane. As it looks right now if I go with a engine at 25oz range the auw is gonna be more like 7lb. I may need to try to find ways to shed some wieght.
