RE: Anyone Tried The New Evolution .60NX?

I think the 55ax may usually be cheaper due to the Evolution being a Hobby Store brand mainly. The OS can be bought pretty cheap from Tower with discounts applied. Having said that the 60 is larger...

RE: The H9 Saratoga as a second plane?

Ultra Stick 40 should be on your list also. I have been also considering a Saratoga or Pulse . I ended up buying a US 40 and a Tower Uproar in kit form.

RE: Tower Hobbies Uproar 40 build

Speaking of CG, Any reason the Arf has the CG listed at 3-3/4" and the kit at 3"?

Shouldn't they be the same?

I'm building one with an EVO 46 and one with an Evo 36, so I need to plan ahead on...

Yes, watching this Uproar build and the Dazzler build has inspired me to try building also. Mine should be here Wednesday.
