The kits are expensive due to the time it takes to manufacture them.
Materials costs also play a factor especially when they use Kevlar
I can assure you there is no way that that poly can compete!
You need a Dark Star.

It cannot be launched anywhere near the height of
the composites (not strong enough!)
The Dark Star and numerous other poly ships can be zoomed as hard as

I believe the 40 lbs, but we're only talking a beam that is cantilevered
about .7 or so, aren't we? I'd figure the stress if I had my
Machinery's Handbook handy or if I had worked with beam theory more
recently. I just picked up a winch battery with two popsicle sticks
under the handle and two

Here's an idea:
if you can use a disposable material for your peg, just put a loose hole
in the tip and let the peg drop away after launch. I suppose this could

I have to say the best tip I was ever given when setting up my first
full house was this.
Masking tape your servos in place in the wing and finish all of your
programming. Make sure all surfaces give you the required amount of
travel, and that your flaps come close to 90 degrees etc, and that

One more thought on servo installation in the wings.
Make sure that matching pairs of flap servos (ailerons also) are installed
in exactly the same way. That means that both servos have the same length
arms, and both point to the exact same angle when at neutral. This will
