The Zoom is a beautifully built hotliner from the same mfr. as the acclaimed Trinity and Banana sailplanes. Featuring a thinned MG06 airfoil with a very strong one peice 1.8M wing with carbon spar. The Zoom certainly lives up to it's name!

We recommend using HS-5125 digital servo for the elevator, HS-5125 flat wing digital servos for the ailerons and flaps, and a Castle 80A controller with an Aveox F-10

Adam Till from Canada has posted a nicely written detailed review of the Zoom, including lots of build photos and helpful tips, and all of his flight tested control settings and so forth. Check it out at: http://www.rcgroups.com/links/index.php?id=4561&skey=da6faa
