Default Setup Secrets REVEALED

The latest technology for the 07 IMAC season is here! The news is out! You didn't hear it from me, but anonymous sources have uncovered the secret to extreme rudder authority. The latest trend- unmatched servos! It appears the unlimited guys are going to the so called "classic" setup.
titanium gears -overkill
ball bearings - out of style
digitals- computers are just a fad anyway
Bust out the gold stickers and fire up those reed systems cause' vintage equipment is going to be the new thing!
Check out this killer rudder setup we spotted on Adam Bry's yak!
Rumor has it he will be dropping the DA and runnin' a Briggs and Stratton 150 twin next year!

That is great! Anyone want to buy 58 partially used S128's? I also have several linear Kraft servos and a three channel brick up for grabs!!

A little explanation behind the reasoning would be helpful. Sorry my thought process fails to see the advantage of taking that step back. I'm not disagreeing, I just don't get it.

Will disagree with the "titanium gears -overkill" statement. They last longer with little to no play.

Its a 40% comp yak. Not like it needs good stuff anyway. Three mismatched standards should fly it nicely. Also eliminates the need for expo.

Oh man... I can't believe I didn't think of this. Gang 3 old junker servos together to have a third the torque of an 8711 with none of the precision. Brilliant!

Time to go make some mods...

Hey, 4/1 is for jokes. I think he's serious. The computer thing is a fad, I'll agree with you on that.
