If I were you I'd go with an AR6210.
why ar6210? just cause it has the satellite? I have heard that the satellite and dual antennas on ar600 are about the same

Yo guys off topic here

Alright, So a quick rundown, I built this plane because my 30" just couldn't take the wind. Once I broke the treetops, it was wobble city for that guy. FAST FORWARD, This 60 inch plane is pretty darn sweet!!!! One problem is that the wing is set pretty close of the fuselage, so I will need considerable nose weight to get the CG right. Either way its a sweet plane. I made the executive decision (I have powers!!!) to do two WING MOTORS, I am not sure how this will effect the dihedral and balance, but its all a learning game

So basically, I already have the receiver and transmitter, from my FMS plane...
I need, 2 motors, 2 esc, a y connector? 2 servos, 3 props, (1 in case one brakes), pusher rods. battery (5000mah?) and I guess thats it. is it? I was kinda hopeing for differential thrust, but thats sorta out of my league, the plane will be 3ch, (rudder, elevator, throttle).

^Im really new to motors esc and stuff, so really anything will help.

I like the hobby king american warehouse, but you know, a deals a deal.

Specs of plane:
Wingspan: 60" wing chord:10" total wing area:600^2"
Tail:30" wing chord:7" total tail area: 210^2"
Fuselodge, about 48"
Plane weight:850grams, with camera and other equipment: 1050g? <---yes I really don't get how its that light (850), thats like pkzone radian weight.

Any other question are greatly appreciated

Just mounted my hitec 7954sh servos in my 87" SHP. I am definitely getting a swb arm for the rudder but do you think it is necessary for the elevators and ailerons?

Go DSMX. It DOES make a difference.
IIRC the AR600 is not DSMX.

I can distribute in the USA! Also what do you need for webmaster? I can probably do that as well.

Well to answer your question, I love the 42" AJ Slick. Best fly 4x" plane. It is violent in 3D and flies on rails in precision. Also just to give you an idea of how easy it is to get used too, I was tail touching on the maiden flight of my first one. I loved it so much that I have over 1000+ flights on it and it did not want to stay together. I am maidening my 2nd one on Sunday.

I'm just gonna sell the 6i for 100 (because its DSM2 and its used) and put that towards a 42 slick.

Re the last few pages, be wary of Walter Mitty types. Don't give up time or money to fantasists. It's like having a slightly insane conman on the loose around here.
