Default RE: Magic

I have though about reducing the size to a 40" span 80%. I can do that on my computer or could get the plans printed at 80% by the plan service we have in town and then build it from there. Just something else to think about now. The orignal is for a 20 sized did not say anything about high speed motors.

We have been using the Hextronic servos D-MG16's because of the full metal gear train in them. The mini servos have a weak servo train(plastic gear) and can be stripped with bumping of the flight surface. The other thing is the high toqure and hold power from a small servo even if they are cheep. Orignally got them for combat aircraft to keep costs down for some of the junior members and was very impressed with them I started using them in other models. I even have them in a Satio 72 powered Ultimate and they work great.

Cheers
