I have bought 3 of these planes ,one perfect, one banged up, and one perfect for parts.
All at one sale for 40 clams.
Now I received 4-6 servos. 1 tower 300 mini RX .
Jeti ECS advanced 30 plus.
Rimfire GPMG 4500 and a AXi2212/26 motor mounted in 2 different well working fuse`s.
Wich motor would fit this build ??? I believe more power to get you outta trouble is better in my Heli flight time.
What say you on these 2 motors?

I fly a Raptor 50 Heli,so i have a basic understanding of flight. And I fly a 3 channanel 100 just too take the edge off when I get home from work with out indecent.
I realize I have to match the old #38 tower crystal to my tower radio, I believe I can get this from a hobby shop,and I think I want a 400 mili amp batt as per what I have watched on line.
I have an appointment next Friday at the feild with an AMA instructor to fly the nitro Hobbico 40, just looking for something to put around the yard with so I dont have to drive to another state to have 20 minutes of fun.
Thanks again for a Great sight.

Can some one tell me what size or model ESC and Battery I need to get the rim fire up and working ?
Thank You.

I guess I schould move this to the electric forum ? .

The rimfire has a rated max surge current of 15A.

Since it is rated for 12v input voltage, that gives you

15A x 12v = 180 watts maximum

To be safe I would purchase a 20A ESC, which will give you a healthy margin for safety.

A 1500mAh 20C 11.1 ( 3S ) battery will be about as small as you want to go. If the plane can accept it, I would get at least an 1800mAh 20C 3S pack.

Rememeber connectors are up to you too!

Thank You ! Still learning about electric`s. was looking for a servo to run the throttle..

My Feedback: (1)

You don't use a servo for the throttle on an electric airplane. That function is part of the ESC.

That`s why I put the Roll Eye Smiley at the end of the post .....Just thought it was funny that there was no throttle servo after building stick kits and flying helo.
I`m new at electric, thats why I`m in the beginners forum.
I love this sight, no matter what you ask, some one will Alway`s help`s out.
