GWS components are excellent quality
LOL,

I would caution you against GWS anything. The best servos I have ever found for foam are Futaba 3114's. I have dozens of them, and they are just great servos for foam...and I am a JR guy. I like to fly foam because it's easy, fun and it fits my schedule.

Go to http://www.chargerrc.com and get a CR-1. Get a Hacker 20-26M, four of the 3114's, a Berg RX, a phoenix ESC, and THUNDER POWER batteries. You will be amazed.

Berg recievers are about the best you can buy for foam. Hacker motors are the best for foam, and Thunder Power abtteries are the best lipos period. I have flown MANY batteries in my foamies. Don't skimp on Lipos. The 'off-brand' Lipos are generally larger, heavier and have less capacity. Don't believe the stated capacity on any label. I have tested many of them and Thunder Power is simply the best.
