My 90size stash.

Been a while since I last updated...so here is whats happening. With the fund that I had originally saved up for getting a new 50 to replace the raptor...I got...


Radix 710mm SB
MP5-90
YS91SR
Dualsky Vr-8l
Solid-g
Atg V3

Not sure which kit to get, but probably the 700N because my budget for the kit is under US$1000. All I need now are servos and kit(which so unforunately is the bulk of the cost).

Still undecided on servos. Deciding between:

Hitec 7965mg-is the deadband under load still as large as the older series?
Ino lab 760mg-heard that it isn't quite smooth and very power hungry. Worst of all, the local distro seems to be totally uninterested in making my $.
Futaba BLS451- there were cases of weird glitching problem with these and for the price of the 8717 they are neither fast nor strong on 4.8v...
Jr 8717/8715 - best of the lot, but quite ex.

JR8900 or BLS251 - will the BLS really last longer? Anyway 8900 is out of stock at the LHS.


Managed to weigh some of the items at the shop I am working at..


Mp5-90 with header, w/o screws @229g


Dualsky vr-8l(Now also known at flightpower Vr-8l), 64g including failsafe switch. VERY very well built.


YS91SR @551g including check valve, main needle, woodruff key, etc..


Here's is whats in the box of the solid-g and atg, will weigh them when I have the time.






Updates.

Thoughts on ATG here
Test of solid-g coming soon WHEN I CAN GET A SUITABLE SERVO FOR IT

Servos- A very kind flyer allowed me to have a look at his INO-Lab 760mg. Indeed, it was a bit rough. His collective servo was really rough because apparently it was over-stressed by the binding. The cyclic servo were ok, but nowhere as smooth as even the 6965hb. The movement felt a bit coarse. The deadband was very good though. No slop, no deadband despite the fact that it is using metal gear. You can put a bit of force on them and the servo will counter it immediately without any change in the angle of the servo horn, unlike my 6965hb but they don't look as fast as the 6965hb on the bench...overall I would say they are pretty ok buy for the price and should give the "pop" feeling that I am looking for. I might go for these if I can get a good deal.
