RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

Good point, Bipe. My Bee-Tween has a GWS 400 lecky, flies very slow and stays right out in front of me.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

The Berg is 4ch. You use a Y connector for the battery and fourth servo.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

I'm adding clutter to this FAQ that doesn't need to be here. I'm removing the stuff unrelated to Norvel.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ
