    E-flite Beast 60e Aerobatic RC Plane, ARF

    this seems like a pretty large plane to be affected by AS3X. it makes me wonder what kind of rediculous servo amp draw you would get with the surfaces fluttering so much like on the umx stuff

    im going to be upgrading to the aurora 9X as soon as i have the funds and the radio is available. i really enjoy my xps setup, but i really love hitecs support and product availability. as long as they havnt changed the programming too much on the 9X, its gonna be a winner. the A9 is the easiest...

    72" Extra 330SC

    what size pull pull servo arm are you guys using? also, if anyone has their 72 handy could you measure the exposed part of the servo linkage for the ailerons and elevator (aka metal showing between ball links)

    Discussion My Favorite Charger. Pros & Cons

    but the 3010B (which i am assuming is what you are talking about) is more comparable to the PL8, the 306B is similar to the PL6, so thats not really a fair comparison. going through buddyrc.com, here are the prices: PL6 = $175 306B = $160 PL8 = $199 3010B = $190 I think for 99% of people in...
