RE: Hanger 9 Tango
Comparing planes on the RealFlight Sim, the Twist and Tribute PNP models were slightly more challenging in flight than the Mojo, especially when doing any 3D maneuver. What generates the most respect at the flying fields in my area, however, is how well a pilot can handle the more difficult planes to fly. Many will call us circle flyers, but there is nothing quite like the satisfaction gained after a greased landing on a scale model with a high wing-loading in a moderate crosswind, smack in the middle of the runway. You know, like the stuff movies are made out of. Full flaps, and all that good gobbledygook. We're talking about something with narrow stall/fly threshold where throttle and control surface management has to be almost perfect. Sure, you can point a Mojo the proper direction, and weathervane hover it in, no prob and it'll land on a heli-pad. But try that on a P-40 with a .91 four-stroke. Go ahead, just DO it. Be sure to pick up a good supply of epoxy, covering, microballoons, and balsa beforehand, though. Bring a large plastic bag too.
Anyway. I checked out the Tango at my LHS again today. I plan to get a JR SX600 radio with standard servos that are good for 47 ounces of pressure, and the Tango specifies 45. Goplaneman: Do you feel this model can get by with a .40 LA, or would I need something bigger, like a .55 AX?
