Default RE: Hobbico Twinstar minibuildlog (Former: The urge for a twin.)

I just finished mine. I had a lot of trouble with the throttle servos fitting in the nacels and operating smoothly without hitting the nacel cover. So I installed some smaller servos (JR 911) and made my own mounts for them. I put 2 .40 LAs in it so I will have to watch the time as I have the standard tanks. I also added a steering servo, simply because I HATE fussing around with a plane that doesn''t track right - taking off the cover, monkeying around with set screws, still doesn''t track, repeat process, etc. This way, I have it slaved to the rudder on a different channel so I can change the trim to get it to track straight yet it moves with the rudder. I also put the throttle servos on different channels for individual end point set up. Its just more convenient. I love computer radios.....

Hopefully I''ll get to maiden mine this weekend, if the weather cooperates. Keep us updated Gisi!
