OK, so I've decided that the Align 3G was not built with nitro's in mind (on electrics it seems to be great). The freakin thing is WAYYY to sensitive to vibration. No one that I know, that has a 3G on a 90 size nitro, has a perfectly still and stable tail; the tails either slightly drifts, bobbles around slightly, or both. The guys at my field have basically just decided that it's not bad enough to worry about, so they ignore it.

Over all, it's not really that bad; but the problem is that I'm an engineer, and I just can't let it go...... One of my pet peeve's (as an engineer) is something that just doesnt work 100% properly.

Anyway, I know that the Total G has only been released recently and there is not alot of experiences out there with it. I was wondering how well the Total G handles 90-size nitro vibration?

Anyone flying the Total G on a 90 nitro?

Thanks in advance!

I just maidened it on a 26cc gasser yesterday and for the first trip up with pretty much stock values it flew flawlesly. I also own a 693 3g setup and it is going up for sale as soon as i can get it off and replacing it with totalG.

I get a tail wag around 80-90 mph and it doesn't hold the tail for crap hovering. Thought about adding a quark but i'm tired of chasing it's problems. Probably a vibe coming on with 5 horse and full pitch

I just flew the Total G on a T-rex 700N and it flew great! I just ordered one for my 700
