Dymond Rearwin Speedsteer
I would be grateful to learn the experience of anyone who has tried using a Dymond Rearwin Speedsteer for Giant Scale training?

RE: Dymond Rearwin Speedsteer
Flies great. Not enough rudder for knife edge. Landing gear block needs reinforced from beginning. Use softer tires than what comes with it. Put a Saito150 in the nose, will almost maintain hover. Inverted requires down elevator and some power due to flat bottom airfoil. Rolls are lazy and funny and so far from axial he he.

RE: Dymond Rearwin Speedsteer
I first had an mvvs2.15 gas engine in mine. It went where I pointed it, but I was always ever so careful with the throttle, speed on down lines and how much I yanked the elevator. It is definetely NOT an airplane I would start practicing aerobatics with. Also the fact that you will not be able to get enough rudder, without some major mods., speaks against doing any real aerobatics with this model. I found it the most fun to fly with the Saito150 in the nose, and because I had it soft mounted, it had a really funny sound. I was in the process of putting floats on it when I sold it.

How does this compare to the Kangke/SRBatteries Rearwin Speedster?
Does anyone know?
Thanks,

I have also narrowed down my seach to either choosing either the Kangke/SRBatteries Rearwin Speedster or Dymond Rearwin Speedster to install my G-38 for my first Giant Trainer.
The postings prior to yours sounds good for selecting the Dymond Rearwin Speedster, which is approximately $400 less total package price than SRBatteries Rearwin Speedster.
What are your thoughts on these two Giants?

RE: Dymond Rearwin Speedsteer
I love my Kangke Rearwin Speedster too. It will put-put along flat turning inches off of the ground and then knife edge loop, hover and torque roll if I want it to. One of the most versatile planes I have ever flown! Mine has a DA 50 on it. Craig
