The HS-225MG's looked good for price and speed (torque a little low) until I saw this. Man they guys hate-em. I didn't know there was such a limited choice for servos for this plane. No biggie, I'll just bight the bullet and pay through the nose for servos. On a side note, you know I love these digis made by Solar (fast and center every time). For my smaller planes I am not worried so much, but for the MXS and my Extra build I just cant seem to bring myself to use them. I don't know why a I feel so much better having the Hitech name on the servos of the planes I care a lot about.

You feel better because they ARE better

The solar 658s were a disaster! Slow and poor centering. The spektrum 5040s were so so. 5060s were bad. Scary jitter. Like I said, 7245s are the only decent choice I have found for the money. Redwing had a sale on them a few weeks ago.

I don't think I've seen that tip shared anywhere.

I Have two build threads here that basically describe it with pictures.

Well I am a EF owner now. I had a Green 64" MSX fall in to my lap today. Extra Fuse, rudder, ele, CF landing gear, plus an Aeroworks CF tail wheel for $175. I could not pass it up. Now I need Servos, a Motor, and esc, I have an RX. Let the home work begin. Whats a Motorfly motor that stomps on the Torque - 4016T/500 VII that's the proper wight for my plane?

Where'd you get that? Was it hanging in NT?

64 MXS with the 4315-480 with the 16x8 PJN and a Talon 90. Most of you have seen this already but this was Tom's first and second flight on the MXS and Frankjp always has nerves of steel to let Tom fly his planes. If you can wait for the second flight, he really thrashes it. I was happy when it was over so I could put my checkbook away.

Sorry I don't know that Hanging in NT means?

What battery did you run in that plane during that flight?

 

[Aeroplayin]

Those two flights just happened to be with a 6S 40C 3300 Sky Lipo. Frank also has Glaciers and they seem to be just as good. Tom likes Sky's and we used to buy them exclusively, but it's tough to find them in stock all the time. He has some 5S 40C 5200 Revolectrix on his 78 Extra too, and all of these brands are batteries I would buy again. They are light, and come down cool, and as you can see, they are flown hard in Florida. The 30C don't seem to hold up as well.

My guess is "hanging in Nice Twice" hobby store
