Re: Shoestring Aluminum Spar Folding

I have been using the Hyperion DS09-SCD. A great little servo that meets the recommended minimum torque of 30 oz-in. Great price too at $28.00. Double ball bearing, digital. I have been using them in my Miss Dara, no problems.

Re: returning to racing

The Invictus is an ARF to be available from Hobby King. It is not yet commercially available. Only a few prototypes have been flown. Once it comes on the market, I will update the list of approved ARF's
