Ok, thanks. That will answer what I need to buy when I go back to the hobby store. What size wire are you guys using? Are there any certian horns and clevis's that work well? Oh, and is it the HS-55 or the HS-56?

Alex,
I use the 55s. Also use the $9 servos you can get at www.raidentech.com which are similar to GWS Pico Naros. Use the micro sized DuBro horns and fairly light wire. If you want to get fancy use small diameter carbon shafts and add wire to each end. Overkill but cool.

I use the HS-56, they are a few bucks more but seem to be a lot stronger. They have the Carbonite gears which seem to be near the strength of the metal gears but with the lightness of plastic.

I noticed in the spreadheet on georgiacombat.com, that at Dixie Richard Taylor flew a Lavochin LA-5 with a Thunder Power 2 Cell 730 mah battery. Did he get a full flight on this size battery?

All of Richards planes are built extremely light, and used small motors, so he had no problems with flight time...
