HS 65 HB's for me. I saw one fly on 4s with them...worked alot better.
LOL....I don't know why you guys want 4S and speeds up to 110mph, but I know it's a personal choice. Even as stock for me, this thing is REAL hard to keep track of if flying full speed. I could see where even as stock running full power, smaller servos would be under tremendous stress (such as 7.5's or 8G servos), and would give out, especially under high G manuvers. My next one will have minimal 9G servos....and I don't push mine that hard.
why go faster? cause we can...
. Why does a dog......you know the rest....
By the way, Im keeping one stock just for relaxing. It makes a good warmup just before flying a 6K$ jet. Im running 65MG's on one of my extreme prop planes and they work good. Its double the weight of this one. Its really all about balance and air load, and of course holding power. If the gear train is tight, the servo wont work as hard under high speed. I think the 65 motor is pretty strong for its size. I have run them over 100mph on other planes....no failures so far, not one..so I think 65's are a cheap investment for this one. They can be used on a ton of applications, so I bought a case back when. some MG's some HBs.
The ONLY issue I have with it right now is the "foamie" factor. I fly in a grass field, but it's NOT lawn or golf course grade groomed. Sometimes, the fuse gets dents or whatnot from the weeds and such. I think I MIGHT have the answer for my next one. I'm gonna mix 20 minuet epoxy and alcohol into a thin solution and paint the entire fuse with it. When it hardens, it should give it a "skin" to resist abrasions and pokes or whatever, then go with the gray camo paint job. I don't think it'll be so much weight as to be of consern. The covering they put on the wings resists abrasion very well and the wings are THIN (LOL). The wind finally let down today, so I got to take it out (45degF...wind 3-5mph). Very enjoyable....I need like 6 batteries (LOL).
