This is what happens when you drink and install graphics at the same time. Ask me how I know.

Gonna be 15 now! Almost as bad as the old 5945 days where I used 17 routinely! I had one plane with six on the elevators! haha

I'm not knocking your setup, I just fail to see the reason why unless those pilot planes have really flimsy surfaces. With an 8 servo setup I can do near full throttle rolling figure-8's with no real sign of blowback.

Hi Terry! The thread title says 107“, but I'm confusing everyone by showing my 122". lol If you're talking about an 8 servo setup (plus throttle) on a 122" plane, I tried it and it's a total no go, for me. Ymmv, etc.

Waiting on motors, so I decided to show the H9 Sukhoi a little love and start putting gear back in it. In hindsight I should have never taken its gear out... it's a long story. haha

I'm not confused. I guess I have to watch you fly some day.

Yeah I really don't know why he needs so many servos, especially the 9380's. But it's his airplane, if he feels he needs then then rock on

All that matters is if we show up to fly then he better be out there throwing down too!

it's getting hot in here....lol

it's getting hot in here....lol

Maybe it's the flux capacitor pulsing to churn out the gigawatts for all those servos LOL

(PS - I hope Joe understands I'm just joking)

I thought it was just Pilot RC with the bad hinging... here's my H9 Sukhoi after 35 flights... the hinges pull out clean, just like the Pilot RC planes. Same oversized slotting and same shiny hinge with no glue on it.

I like that Pilot RC lets me glue in the firewall... I liked that AW let me glue in the hinges. I wish Pilot RC would let me glue in my own hinges and they can spend that time sanding down my inner wingtubes until my wingtube fits.
