I just wanted to post again about the Aito, I made a trip to Chicago and got to fly it in a golf dome. I really enjoyed flying the plane. In my review video I was using an APC 8x3.8 on a 2 cell 400. power was very marginal I thought. I tried the 8x3.8 APC prop on a 3 cell 450 and it worked out great. Pleanty of punch for messing around. Then changed to I think it was a APC 9x3.8 or a 4.7 (it was at midnight and I don't quite remember) with a 2 cell 400 and 450 and that too was a good combo for the slower stuff. In the build I messed up and had to use a 6" servo extension (std duty) which was a weight killer. I stopped by the LHS and got a 3" lightweight e-flight extension. Made a big difference. I'm definitely looking forward to more gym flying with it. It is at home indoors.

How did you determine where to cut the exit hole for the rudder pull pull cables? The instructions on this thing is one of the worst I've seen. A beginner would have a very hard time building this one... very little text but alot of pictures. |

I believe that it was the instructions that came with the plane that had dimensions/positions for the slots unless I am mistaken for the elevator servo. I can't seem to find the kit instructions to review.
