My favourite is flick rolls i just give it full up and right, ive never seen anything spin so quickly! , it seems to pull out ok though

My servos arent strong enough , using 2g servos the gears strip every few flights

Well he crashed it when a servo locked doing stall turns.....
Mine will have 5g servos in it.

itec HS 50's 6.1 grams. For when you just gotta go Hairy Chested lol!

Probably why it glides like a washing machine. Airplane

The best way to reduce weight is go to a single cell lipo and voltage booster for the reciever pack

i think i will go back to the blue 9g servos they seem to last ok , the 2 dollar china 2.5g servos arent much good, i even had one fail in a depron indoor model

When the elevator servo failed the other day , it came down flat out at 45 degrees, i thought it would be smashed , but it was fine apart from the prop

I used to use small RTP electric bendy props for all the cox 010 models, you cut the front flat and drill them to fit the engine , they dont break

Could you post a link for those props if they are still available.
I will be using a 1s lipo but no booster as my micro DSM2 Reciever operates from 3-6v as do my servos.

Why lol?
I did in my last 5 set ups lol.

I used to get the props from Ballards RTP ( about 18 years ago! ) ive just searched and they come up on google, they always said not to use on IC but i always used the 3 inch one with no problems

My reciever and servos go on the lower voltage , but on the voltage booster everything seems much quicker

The rx pack i used to use was 4.8v 50mah , 200+ mah is a lot for a .010 to pull round

At lower voltage the servos have more torque.
