What is the purpose of the X-wings? Is it worth the extra space &amp; cost?

yes the x wings are very helpful, they hold the phone very stable, the vent attachment part did not work very well for my car.

wingspan, but it has little control. i would recommend getting the hobbyzone champ, supercub or duet instead of this plane

Only received your inquiry today; I don't recall, but suspect the wings must be included. It was installed in a rental property that I own so I can't look to see.I hope this is not too late to help.

I don't believe the Ergotech triple monitor stand was available when i went to buy it, which is why i went for the XFX one. I also had some question about the stability of the Ergotech and whether it had enough length to hold the monitors given i was using 3 large widescreen monitors. Either way, i've been using the XFX stand for about a year and couldn't be happier. While it was large and definitely pricey, it's very sturdy, holds the monitors very securely and straight, hides the wires well, and even has 2 USB jacks, a mic jack and a headphones jack built right into the stand. If you have the money go with the XFX. Hope this helps. I don't believe the Ergotech triple monitor stand was available when i went to buy it, which is why i went for the XFX one.

I have X-Plane 10, but find that the CH Flightstick Pro (USB) is somewhat unstable on this program. By working with it more I hope to improve it, maybe. I have an HP Pavilion i5 with 8 megs of RAM but maybe not the graphics that I need with some of the newer sims. I have an old PII with man sims running on it with a total CH set up, Flightstick Pro, Throttle Pro and CH Rudders with par. ports. With some real aircraft experience, I'll have to say that the old sims were the most realistic, even though they lacked in graphics. Also, you may have a later version than XPlane 10. I have read that '10' did have some control problems. Otherwise, the Flightstick Pro seems to work well with MS Flightsim X and some others I have. CH is a very good company. I've even toured their plant some years ago.

It's rack mountable in the sense that you'd need to purchase the kit to make it so. The wings aren't included; you'd need something like an RF Armor 1UTSPRS 1U Rack System

My main reason for purchasing this computer is to use it as a fanless HTPC. This is the cheapest route to building a fanless system that meets my specs. There are a number of fanless replacement cases available for this model NUC, some as inexpensive as $75. I went with the Akasa Newton.So, yes, as a general purpose computer it is over priced. But for my specific application, it is the lowest cost solution.

I play attack wing and not x-wing, so I can't answer 100%. I have no doubt the small ships would fit - I'm not sure how big the larger ships actually are.

Yes, you can put up either or both wings, or just use the top rack. I got almost a whole load of laundry on it, and it does a great job of holding everything and not collapsing! :)

I received mine a month or so after release, it still has the issue with the wings although all it requires is a bit of pressure to lock the wings in place, I believe there's a couple if detailed tutorials that explain how to deal with the problem more effectively.

The answers to your questions are on Tower Hobbies website: the suitability must be for you to judge, based upon space available and the required wing-loading of your aircraft. I really like these receivers: they are small and light.

I have not seen or heard anything along this line. it does come with 3 disks for grinding purposes. however if you have an idea for expansion, it may behoove you to jump in and try out your wings. I would love to hear about it.

I flew a s107 for a short time then moved up to the msrx ,there is a small learning curve,if you have patience it shouldn't be a problem. I have now moved on to the blade mcp x

As long as you use the tethered trainer mode until you get used to flying it. Otherwise, if I had it to do over I would have probably gotten the HobbyZone Super Cub (VERY basic flyer but can be modified for flaps once more advanced) or better yet the new E-flite Apprentice S 15e RTF with SAFE which is supposed to be a very basic flyer and advanced flyer all in one plane. I read up on the SAFE technology built into it and sounds very interesting.

It has what my son calls the "flight deck" with wings. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

The UMX Carbon Cub is too much airplane for a novice. Take a look at the Champ or other 3 channel plane. You might want to look for a simulator instead. Not quite as cool as an actual plane, but he will learn to fly and it will save you lots of money in the long run.

There are two card holding areas, One vertical and one horizontal. The vertical one is pretty much only good for pilot cards but the horizontal one works just about perfect for holding sleeved upgrade and damage cards. This is actually one of the better storage solutions I've seen for X-Wing cards.
