Hi all. I have more than a few questions this time!

OK after always thinking my second concept was sn SR-T (trainer) for
some reason, I found out it was a full blown SR-X which apparently is
the bollox within 30-sized concepts. SO, going to switch the radio
gear over from the SR to the SR-X which is also fitted with a full
Zeal alu head. Questions here :

1. If I don't switch over the boom mounted tail servo from the SR to
the SR-X and keep the original SR-X config with the servo mounted on
the main frame, is there a lot of slop/friction created? The servo is
a fast futaba 9302 (or something like that) but I don't know if it is
worth installing the tail mounted option as it may mean adding nose
weight to balance it out. Is there really a big difference?

2. Is it worth using the zeal head or putting a standard head on it? I
see that the zeal head has adjustable arms that hold the blade grips
at an angle relative to each other, ie. coning angle, but can this be
a problem when flying inverted?

Next, I've picked up a Concept 60 SR-II without motor but with a CSM
540, couple of digital servos and some other high spec servos.

3. I think the tail servo on this model is also mounted on the main
frame, not the boom. Is it necessary to change this to a boom mounted
arrangement?

4. It is coming with a clutch from a Webra motor - will this clutch
fit an OS 61?

5. Is the OS 61 the best to get? Is it worth going straight to the WC
model?

6. The CSM 540 is supposed to be programmable. Does it need a cable to
attach it to a PC? Anything special to know here?

7. Anything else to know about the Concept 60 ??

Taaaaa

One of the supports is actually in the fin so i'm off to the shop
tomorrow to see what i can find in the way of supports for a wire, i
like the sullivan idea though.

I'll not be taking it off except on impact!
I'll also do the bolt mod as i wasn't going to start the contortionist
thing either. Any other gems anyone? This is going to look great when
i'm finished.

tekkno.
