Default Almost ready to pick up a TopCap..

I crashed my Sukhoi this weekend. I was setting up a low (and slow) pass when the engine flamed out. I was way downwind, and didn't realize it for a few seconds... then flipped it over and tried to make it back to the field. I clipped a tree branch; the firewall (with engine and cowl still attached) flew off and the rest of the plane spun to the ground flat.

Feh.

All the gear survived 100% intact. Even the throttle servo! This is one time I was glad that I used the brittle wire the ARF manufacturer supplied.

Anyway. All this talk about the Morris Top Cap has me intrigued. I just happen to have four good servos and a YS .53 available (see above )... does this plane require standard-sized servos or micros?
