    Hey Steve.

    Yes, a DS620 is provided with the package. I must admit I to was a little surprised to see this as well considering the DS650 is the new king of Align tail servos.
    I don't see there being a major lose of performance but it's not the latest tail servo on offer.

              My 550E arrived yesterday and I got to test fly it this afternoon, as well as a Trex 500 CF i've built for my lad. The build on the 550 was pretty easy, no real problems and everything fitted plus they'd used a good amount of Loctite on the factory assembled parts - why they bother when you really need to take them apart to check beats me

              Actually getting to grips with the 3G instructions was much easier than I thought, not a big deal at all and it works pretty well on default setting for gain so far. I found that when I'd set the links from the servos to swash to the length in the addendum sheet, the links from swash to blade grips were too long, no biggie and soon sorted. Did static tracking on both blades and its absolutely perfect in the air plus all the worries about tip-overs on the ground proved groundless. I've only managed to put a couple of batteries through it so far but I like!

                  Looked to be a bit down on power in that vid. Or was it just a sensible headspeed?
