Just got my Lancair in the mail yesterday. Lately I've been using mini/micro servos for my 40 size planes. They end up flying sooo much better. Lower stall speeds, and just overall great flying planes when they're light. I'm using Hitec HS-85MG's for ail/ele/rud. 41 at 4.8v and 48 at 6v. Always using a sub micro for the throttle. Little pricey, but overall I save roughly 3-4oz. I also use the Hydrimax 750mah AAA batt. Weighs 1.9oz. Ordered the new OS FS-56a. Wanted a four banger for more scale sound. Not to mention the good gas mileage and reliability. I've always had better luck with 4 bangers when it comes to dead sticks. I'll post some pics through out the building process.
