@mayan , we talked about alum props on F1D free flight models, here's a link to see what I mean

Those look nice, but I wouldn’t like to get sliced up by one.

Sweet! I’ve wanted the umx sukhoi for a while so I’m happy to finally get my hands on one.I like the looks of the umx 4-site. I have a umx Sukhoi that I bought, it needed repairs when I bought it. I still need to repair it, the parts are all here now.
I certainly hope so, I built it as a 3ch so if it doesn't have enough rudder for me I've got bigger problems to worry about.Hopefully the Simple Stick will work out well for you then!
I also gave @FoamyDM's PRANDTL-D project a try. Using washout to create converse yaw. I have the airframe built and half painted but I've started on too many other projects to finish it anytime soon. My Arrowhead actually has a v-tail, I crashed it when I was trying to trim the elevator and didn't have enough hands to use the rudder.You'll love my Arwing design- it's technically bank and yank but the elevons have enough anhedral to give it converse yaw for days! It's very responsive in the air. Also, for planes that are normally bank and yank only, you can add a little thrust yaw, either diffy thrust or vectoring.
Go metal gear servos.Flew the 300i today- Used most of a battery, but it took a good 6-7 minutes of flying to run it down that far. Stripped the thrust vectoring servo with a prop strike on the second landing though, any recommendations as to how to fix it better?
Also, here's a 54 dpi raster plans preview. If you want to view full resolution, it looks like you'll have to download it.

I was thinking the same thing- i looked for my two spare metal gear servos for about 15 minutes before remembering I lost them in a soybean field last fall. So I just used a better plastic gear servo, and put it in with screws so it's more easily replaceable. A temporary fix to get it back in the air. Also I bent the pushrods differently, hopefully I get more spring this time. It was a little tough flying at the park, wind was from the southwest to the northeast, so to do an upwind landing would mean going low over the road, which means I had to do more of a crosswind landing instead. not that this plane particularly cares, it's fast and the gear reminds me of characters from The Oatmeal with the comically wide stance.Go metal gear servos.
Great clean build! I miss my bushwacker!As promised, photos. Next up, painting, and starting construction on the Versawing from my coworker.

It does, I left room for 4s when bench testing different combosHmm, does it support 4S? It's gonna have a pretty low stall speed I think.
