Servos - http://www.flighttechdistribution.co...rvos/index.asp

You can order the servos through any TrakPower dealer.

Top work as always, Jimmy
The reviews are my favourite part on oOple (apart from Lee-Mag posts). It's always a pleasure to read them, surely they are the best thing next to build the kit by ourselves!

BTW, what is the 'JConcepts Competition'?

Thanks chaps Yeah I was a big pussy in the final there until Dave shouted some words at me - then I was like a nutter.

JConcepts competition - coming (very) soon! nothing to do with this Tamiya review of course.
