    I don't think I'm going to use a non brushless servo ever again, in any plane. And, that's about all I have to say about that. haha

    I drilled a hole, dropped 6 drops of thin CA in the hole (let it dry), and then epoxied in the DUBRO 10-32 control horn bolt. This setup, with the end points in the transmitter set to maximum, got me 55 degrees of deflection each way off of center.

    I did my usual and soldered Dean's ends onto the servo extensions. Nice grommet Rocco has setup for your servo extension ends: Nolasco @ P1 made me up this DA sticker, as well:

    Rumor has it these servos have serious power, so I bolted them down with 3mm x 5/8 screws: I'm also thinking of going with ultra HD DUBRO 10-32 control horns:

    I tried to decide if I was going to use any electronics that would be incompatible with the regenerative braking that these servos have. Not being certain I decided to use a PAD (power absorbing device) on each servo. I always solder my servo leads to my extensions anyway, so it wasn't much...

    Well, a fellow Hitec user wanted me to have a chance to compare the Hitec brushless to the JR brushless... so I was able to get these servos (I'll be trying these first and then the JR brushless after for a comparison):

    Ordered a 4" TruTurn P-51 spinner with a Menz cut:

    I just love the squat-ty turtle deck and the bulbous canopy! I'm repeating myself, but you have to see it in person!

    The cowl is crazy custom cool with its interlocking stout tabs with only four screws visible on the bottom of the plane. The fit on mine was perfect:

    I bolted on the stock tailwheel... they are very light, less than an oz: I changed out the stock phillips head screws (they would work, but I prefer not to push on the plane when putting them in and/or removing them, and that is what you have to do with phillips screws) to a socket head...

    I bolted on the stock axles, wheels and spats: I did change the set screw to a socket head style. Much easier to deal with and not have strip out. Oh, and also the screws for mounting the spats... I changed them to stainless steel with stainless steel sealing washers:

    The covers are very nice and they lightened them up with some holes: When you bolt on the landing gear, don't tighten it up all the way until you dry fit the covers. The covers fit snugly around the gear so you have to line the gear up for the covers or the covers won't fit on right. I found...

    I like the landing gear concept. You might call it a shear connection vs a stacked connection. Normally the plane would be stacked on top of the landing gear, but in this case the landing gear it bolted to the side of the plane. That does a couple of things. One they are lighter. The other is...
