    The servos I opted to go with for this airplane are the Hitec HSB-9485SH servos (9465 on the throttle). These are our more budget friendly, steel gear equipped brushless servos that still feature a constant torque output, lower current draw, and an extremely linear and consistent speed...

    Ah, you see, if I made a desktop list then it would get lost the moment I set it down. Put it on the forums and it doesn't get lost :thumbup:

    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    I'm one of those guys where bench comparisons don't mean much to me, I have to see the actual performance of the engine in the airplane (side by side preferably) before I jump to conclusions.

    About 11 1/2" where the engine would sit. The 3W70 should fit perfectly inside without cutting, I know the DA70 will. Like I said the cowl is huge, I can fit my gigantic head in it o_O

    Build time!!!! First things first, gotta get her onto her feet. I started by bolting the landing gear in place- the hardware for the landing gear is inside of the same bag as the axles. There should be 4 washers and 4 lock washers, lock washers go on the nut side inside of the canister tunnel...

    Sort of does eh? I'd imagine a lot of these Slicks out there share similar designs. I've not personally seen any with as much carbon as this one though. No work on the airplane tonight, it's been a freaking long day, and a loooooooooooooong work week.

    I had the thought of running a ZDZ90 in there too.... But some homework will need to be done first, and flying one of our team members.

    Initial impressions with the kit: -HUGE leaps and bounds improvement from their previous kits, tons of high quality hardware included, very extensive -Vibrant color scheme, should have no issues seeing this in the air (not that I fly high enough anyways..) -Extremely well packed in the box...
