[NSRCA-discussion] Back to pattern stuff

[Koenig, Tom]

Adam,

We have many Stevens models at our club down here. To put it mildly-they are SUPERB-better than any ARF piece of **** you will ever buy.I cannot recommend them highly enough.

If you like I'll gather some set-up info for you this weekend. Like I said-you will not be disappointed with those models. I'm hanging out for his Ultimate Bipe.

Tom

Matt, on the subject of the JR DS281 mini digital servo, I have some
thoughts.  I bought two of them last summer for a 3Dfoamy.com superXtra
(1.14m span, layered depron flat shockie, outdoors, 17oz).  I used them
in rudder and elevator.  I found them to be extremely slow.  This was
supposed to be an aerobatic and slightly 3D plane, and I wished I had
installed faster servos.  The airplane flew like crap, so it wasn't a
good test to evaluate the 281, but I used them enough to figure out that
they aren't the best.

I'll probably be building a Stevens Aeromodels Edge540 this spring.  It
will weigh about 2 pounds, and from reading user reviews last fall, JR
Sport looked to have a servo or two that spec'ed attractively.  I've
never done a 2-3lb electric, though, so I don't know which servo is best.
