    Yeah I'm not sure if the 65 is the same way or not. Maybe @caf2461 can check to see where his is balancing to give you a better idea. I have seen his fly and it looks good in the air.

    Built a fuse to go with that rudder I built the other day. This one is turning out nice so far. Being built to certain specs for a buddy and keeping it as light as possible to be able to use the electric setup he wants to use on it.

    I have been flying futaba for the six years I have been in the hobby and have loved every minute of it. That being said though I recently picked up a Taranis X9D using FrSky protocol and I'm really impressed with it. I like it so much that I will be replacing all my futaba stuff with it. I was...

    That is a touch heavy but it will be fine. Will still pull out of a hover just won't be ballistic.
