Oh! That just sends chills down my spine. What happened? I'll make sure not to do it.

I have Hitec HS645MG's on ail, and ele., JR ST125MG on rudder, hs225 mg on throttle, and hs55 on the ignition kill. Running a 6 volt system, they are not much slower than digitals. Plus they are half the cost, and for it being my first giant, I figure it will go in sooner or later. I won't be out $800 in servos. When I get good enough to move on to the composite I so badly want, I will go all digital hitec servos.

This happened at '06 Joe Nall. My friend hit the "Aircraft EATING Tree" ...
30 Minutes after he crashed the SU-31, He talked to Garrett M. and bought a
A.I. 37.5% Yak-54 AND a DA 150...
Here's a pic before the tree had a SNACK! He had a 3W 85 twin on it. Pulled it around very well.

This shows the difference between a 30% (mine) and a 37.5% (his)....
