Nice Save!

And I'd do it again if it weren't for those meddling kids!

But on a serious note, that was a heart pumping event to say the least. Thanks to Gyro for letting me fly his plane

Also, 10 seconds before it happened, he literally told me not to rip the wings off.. Oops!

Sweet! Great job!

Was that followed by you saying "No problem... watch this!"??

Nice landing.

 

[PropBuster]

Great save! what was that white piece that tore off on landing? One of the elevator halves?

Thanks!

No that was the wheel pant that grabbed the runway when it landed.. No biggie..

There has to be a "I hate it when the ground grabs my pants" joke in there somewhere....

Great choice of airplane and motor, you really can't do beter.

For the servos, you really just need to ask yourself if you plan to go up to a 50cc later. If not, you're going a little overkill. A Savox SC-1258TG is what I have in mine, and they are PERFECT. Or, as you suggested, the Hitec HS-7985MG.

So IMHO, if you are NOT planning to move the gear to a 50cc one day, then no, the $100 more you'll spend is not worth it.

Good luck, let us know which way you go!

Looking at the choice is crazy as there are lot's of varying level's of speed & torque. If you have to choose would you rather have a slightly faster servo with less torque or a slightly slower servo with gobs of torque.
I'm not likely to move on to a 50cc any year soon, unless I win the lottery or something of course

I think based on the above, id recommend the SA-1258tg, since they're fast, plenty of torque, and have the titanium gears.

So yes, torque is nice, but beyond 160oz torque in this size plane, you're really not going to notice a difference between 160 and 260, while a difference between .1 and .15 IS noticeable.

Once you have "enough" torque to move a control without blowback, everything past that is useless IMHO.
