Looking for light servo extensions: ABBRA

[vicenterc at comcast.net]

Adam,

That is good idea but the fuselage is not the wide enough.  We think that working on the prop, extensions, battery and wheels will take the plane under 11 lbs.  However, balance could be a problem.  Right now, we like that is a little nose heavy.  The plane will be use to fly sportsmans and intermidiate.  I think the servo in the back is a must for higher classes.  Let's see how fly and I will know more.

Thanks,

Vince
