Default RE: new Silverlit plane at TRU

hey Tim,
i've had my eye on the cessna since febuary actually, its the electronics i've been waiting for, i've been wanting to get some falcon gear, but its just too expensive for my tiny, little, itty-bitty budget. the cessna gear will make for good competition and hopefully drop the price further on both brands. i've had a few projects waiting in the wings for a long time simply because actuators wouldnt cut it and normal micro servos were just too big. this is the (cheaper) in-between i was waiting for.

Neurotex,
the dragonfly (the one with the flapping wings) doesnt use an actuator/rudder to turn, they went with a bladerunner type deal with a tail motor driving a prop to turn left/right. the RX, tail boom and tail motor/prop are all mounted on one peice, so if i could rig up an easy way to attatch a wing and some tail feathers, i wouldnt have to mess with anything but the motor and lipo. now thats easy building
