Servo oscillation help

[Troy A. Newman]

I won't laugh the Something Extra is a good model. I have a kit still that I
never built. I might even put it together as an Electric...That would be a
fun model on Electric and the price is much better than a Electric pattern
model.

 We are glad to have you practicing and using anything you have to fly.
There are lots of really good sport model that fly Sportsman really well.
Tiger 2's and 60's, H9 Advance 40, H9 Pizzazz or Twist with a little mixing
and enough power they do it pretty well.
