I'm a beginner to R/C and confused here (and my Bug plans haven't even
arrived yet.) Balsa Products lists the range of the GWS R-4P at 4.8g as
1000 ft. with a 39" antenna and the Hitec Feather at 7.8g as a 1000 ft too.
Other than the extra 3 grams what am I missing here? Are the listed ranges
not to accurate?
