My only complaint: they didn't paint the stabs to match the wings (missed this one for some reason), not that the stabs are visible when in the air anyways. If its good enuf for Arend... -- Andrew E.

Re: [RCSE] new plane choice
Tell us more about your experience and your flying style. We'll be better able to advise. If you don't know your flying style then buy the one you like to look at the most. The best servos are "the most expensive you can afford". Personally I think the JR 368s are the best - or at least the most expensive I can afford. :-) Rick At 12:29 PM 7/9/2004 -0500, Robert Samuels wrote: Here's a question that's been asked more than once but won't hurt asking again.

Re: [RCSE] new plane choice
> Also which servos are "best". Can of worms well and truely open. It depends. My Wizard has Multiplex micro digis all round although they were fun to fit. My Nyx Furio has Multiplex Digis for the elevator and rudder, HiTec wing digis for the flaps and volz wing max for the ailerons which was mostly about fitting them in. My gulpsr has Multiplex micro digis, mini-millan has jr341 all round. My small gliders have cirrus and others have hitecs. As to ships - what sort of flying are you looking at? Slope? If so, take a look at the NYX F3F or Furio if you want a bit more of an all rounder. Also the Wizards. If you are in the UK, Andy Ellison has written a nice artical on slope planes in one of the mags this month, RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] new plane choice
All of the planes mentioned are excellent. I've owned many sailplanes in my 36 years of modeling and truly the best one for you is the one that suits your flying style. If you are a fairly aggressive pilot and like to range, the Icon can't be beat. If you like something that fly's a bit slower, something with more camber will be to your liking. The Graphite looks to be the least expensive while you might need a second mortgage for the Icon, + the long waiting list. As for servos, the JR series of digitals are top drawer. Actually any of the digital servos will work well. I prefer the JR and MPX digitals myself. gv -Original Message- From: Robert Samuels [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 12:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RCSE] new plane choice Here's a question that's been asked more than once but won't hurt asking again.
