Default Seduction?

Well this owner (me) of the Freestyle LOVES IT.

It is the BEST flying airplane I have ever flown. I mostly used it for pattern practice (you should see my slow rolls!) , but it will also do an awesome inverted harrier and some VERY easy torque rolls. At full throttle (I never should have done it!) was a real rocket. I mean, this thing passed up EVERYTHING. This was with a YS .63...

It would hover around 1/3 throttle...

The only problem with the Saito .72 on the Seduction is that the airplane is designed to have the fuel tank mounted on the CG. There is space for it up at the firewall. As far as I know, the Wildstyle has it's tank mounted right up at the firewall.

The wing is VERY strong on the Freestyle. The Wildstyle is about 1/2 lb lighter. I am sure the wing can handle it...

The Saito .72 is definitely not too heavy. It is lighter than the YS .63. The only drawback is a little less power (not a problem, YS .63 has YOO MUCH power) and built in pump...

The elevator is joined with some medal rod thingie...There is one servo driving it from the bottom of the left side of the fuselage. The rudder is control by one servo on the right side even with the elevator. Because of the extreme throws on the elevator, the rod is angled up to reach the center of the rudder. Each aileron get's a servo and the throttle servo is mounted on the CG.

With the YS .63 on my Freestyle and standard servos in the tail, I have ended up with 2 ounces in the tail to get the CG right. My battery is not in the back like it should be though...

Just as a a note, my Seduction and YS .63 is for sale. Can't ship the Seduction though...

If you are into pattern and precise flying along with crazy 3D (and the best snap rolls in the world) the Seduction Freestyle is your best bet. I have not heard too many things about the Wildstyle, but from the video and the way it's designed it would be the choice for pure 3D. The Sledge might be an even better choice for 3D, but you gotta compare apples to apples here and the Sledge is an orange!

Have you seen the Wildstyle and Freestyle videos?
