Hey All, Just wanted to say thanks for all the info about DLGs. I ended up getting a Blaster. Price and availability are the 2 main factors that decided it for me, but in retrospect it was definitely the right decision.
The AUW on mine is 10.5oz�that�s flying weight, with .75oz in the nose for balance. I used a JR610, 300mAh 1/3AA pack, and the new Dymond D4.7 servos. The servos are pretty impressive! They weigh 4.7grams and have 20oz/in torque! A friend and I took it out on Wednesday and it flew VERY well. Fast, responsive, and it showed even the lightest lift instantly. We didn't fly too long, I had other obligations, and the range check was pretty bad (antenna inside of the carbon boom.) The antenna is now fixed and the plane will receive a new range check and more flight time tomorrow. Other than the range issue it flew great, the plane indicated lift multiple times but b/c of the range issue we decided to keep it close! It even looked decent in sink. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering a competitive DLG in the future. Anyways, thanks to everyone that replied.

So, how do you Blaster owners like your Blaster?� Any competitive DLG for under or around $350 is within my price range, so if you know of a good one that fits this please chime in! � Thanks!
