I haven't been able to keep up with this tread and the search did not come up with any answers. I have a stripped elevon servo and would like to replace it with a Hitec digital servo. Does anybody have any recommendations?
Any recommendations from any manufacture? I haven't found and close to the same dimensions as the stock servo. |

Just an FYI, graupner usa got their prop shipment in and they do have the 6x6, and the 6.5x6.5 cam speed props in stock and ready to ship. Mine are on their way!

I guess I never realized that hand launching this plane was really an issue. I have my radio on a string around my neck with my left hand on the throttle. I grip the thing with my right hand by the little finger grooves on the belly, power the throttle up to between half and 3/4 throttle, throw the thing over hand pretty hard I guess but not all out or anything and then immediately put my right hand on the controls and take on out. The plane takes a second or two to get some speed and it tends to veer slightly to the left on release but gains speed and altitude pretty quickly. My Q is completely stock and I throw/launch on low rates. You want to make sure you don't pull up too fast and stall it before it gets some speed. Wind does absolutely help but this plane flies pretty true.
I've seen the youtube video of some poor guys fingers all tore up and that really is unfortunate but I think that just makes people all tweaky, nervous and scared. If you over think it, you're much more likely to smash your plane than slice up your fingers. The key, like anything is to be paying attention to what you're doing. Once you do it a couple of times successfully, it's a piece of cake. |

Forgive the rookie question, is there a substantial difference in performance between the 6 x 6 and the 6.5 x 6.5?

I don't have and first hand so I can't answer that yet, but I'll have some information hopefully by friday. I know the 6x6 should be noticeably better than the stock plastic prop that comes with the Q. I'm running with a 4 cell setup so I'll have to see if the 6.5x6.5 is too much. It may not matter with temps here locally hitting triple digits with heat index's over 105, It may have to wait a while for the weather to cool off.
