Ridge Runt

IceWind:
Hi all,

I've been looking at one of these models.
They almost gone and even the clones like RipMax Coyote are also very hard to get.
Thing is i collected some impressions and everyone seems to agree that it's a pretty fine model. Any comments on this?

Also i noticed in some places that it doesn't have rudder, could it be possible to put rudder without compromising the plane?

Thanks.

Hi Fernando,

I had a ridge runt a long time ago.
In my opinion (personnal one !  :wink: ) I don't think this is a great machine as pure slope soarer. Too small for my taste, and we can have much better these days !

By the way, what's the story with the glider I gave you ?  :D
Much better than the Ridge Runt by far !   :roll:

Hi Fred,

Thanks for the opinion. The RRunt i had someone that would make me a short kit for it so that's why and yes it can be also be converted to motor powered so it gives a good all-terrain option to carry around.

The P4 i was working on it when i went back to Portugal so i stopped.
Now that i came back i started again, i have all the gear for it except the servos.
The ones is got were terrible... :( jitter alot and didn't even centered correctly. Not sure if it was some problem with the radio has i never had any problem like that, but i sent them back.
So now I'm waiting for some other ones  I'm going to futaba this time, i don't have stuff this big in stock the biggest i was used to deal was 9gr. :)

Fred:
For the Phase 4, basic standard size servos are more than enough !  :D
Too big for the 9 grams.
What are the servos you had issues with ?  :?:

IceWind:
I got some SCR 48G from HobbyKing but looking now at the reviews some are not really nice and report the exact same problem i found.
But not all say the same i wonder if it's a Radio + Servo combination that causes that has i tried using a different model/brand of RX.

I should have stayed with HXT never had a problem with the brand despite been cheaper.
