Hey Mike,.....

Yeah I understand that. The integrated 2 roll half loop insn't the problem with servo power,if I don't "lolly Gag" through it. That was also a plane issue with the Partner, certially not all Partners, just mine. The loop w/the fulls reversed is one that has been kill'in me, especially on a real windy day. And the Knife edge loop I could use more on the front side as the absence of the roll helps, but struggles through the first half a bit for sure.

As you know Mike, pattern is a different enviornment for me with only about 3 years now. I am still learning what to use for the FAI set up all the way around. I have been running all high speed, high torque analog servos in my pattern planes except on rudder as of recent. I did that to consume less battery power and extend my number of flights.




I have discovered recently how much that was hurting me not running digitals all the way around by flying other planes and set ups. Heck,....I figured 131oz's was fine years ago flying 40% Carden Caps with them, so it should be fine on these planes,...Not The Case! It works, don't get me wrong,...not a competative set up as you know.The hobby/sport evolved and I had a comfort zone I was stuck in,..call it pilot "stuperstitions" if it was working without issues,..why change to something different and stray outside the comfort zone?

Thats' why I am very thankful for those guys that have let me fly their stuff as of late,....It's been very educational for me to experience the differtence with digitals, 2.4, newer designs and even electric.

Anyway,...I hope to test fly tomorrow and tweek for friday and tweek a bit more on friday. Tech-Aero DR2 will not be in till next week sometime. Going to run the WC2 on 72 until I play with the 14MZ more just for this contest.


Larry,.. I saw that gear,..it looks good. You can also order the Delro carbon gear from Chris Moon. They are a bit short for electrics, but fine for the 18 inch props and they look good.
