RE: Gyro current capacity

74" wingspan Aeromaster (kit version); Figure 112in/oz per side for a total of 224in/oz for the 2 wings. It's not a Yak 54, after all. I'll go with it having experience with this plane before. I...

RE: What has more power, a Saito 1.80 or a Moki 1.80?

Glad that you mentioned the OS 1.60. I'm thinking of putting one on an ultrastick (pre-lite). Any ideas on who this might work? Everyone swears by the Saito 1.80, but I'd like to try a two stroke...

So, a down side of redundant rcvrs is reduced range?? How does that work, I wonder? Any other negatives that anyone can think of for the dual rcvr approach?

RE: Back up RX battery set up?
