Put some X wires on that gear and go fly!

Nowadays you gotta think about power management through Xbus or Sbus, too. With Xbus you need a JR radio, with Sbus I'm not sure you need a Futaba Radio?

I'm thinking about JR servos this time (Hitec is still backordered on the Brushless servos for a couple of months). Maybe the: JR MPH83T MK II Linear Hall Sensor Brushless Torque Servo that Tavis likes so much. Specs are: 563.8 oz-in @ 7.4V 0.13 sec/60 deg @ 7.4V Linear Hall Sensor (instead of a pot...
