    CG setup for first flight of a new plane and pull-pull vs push-pull decision

    like said before, this is meant for a starting point, not a be all end all for a perfect CG. that should always been done by flying. no matter how tedious you are with an initial CG, you still want to adjust in the air. This just saves a ton of time and gets you in the air to make the correct...

    3DHS 42" Vyper Bype

    i think also you need to compare the cost of the plane RTF. the vyper bype is still going to be considerably cheaper than any 60" class plane. Brand new, hitec 5085mg's are $40 each. The good side of mini servos for a 60" class plane are $60-70 each. Not to mention packs are more expensive...

    Apps

    the t3chdad flight tracker is pretty awesome. you put in all your planes and helis info and it keeps track of you flights. you can also add battery packs and i believe it tracks number of cycles on those packs EDIT: here is the link to the t3chdad app http://t3chdad.com/flightlog/

    yeah im talking pull pull elevator AND rudder. there is a sebart plane (the sukhoi 3D monster) that has it, and it looks crazy complicated. but the video i found of the ultra light 78 extra looks pretty great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9XHRRnyFPM
