Status: offline 		Looking into building a Ziroli Stuka and was wondering how many and of what types of servos and rx will be required.

I am not interested in building the dive brakes or sirens, just a basic Stuka with flaps.

Thanks for your time

Status: offline 		I would say that you probably could use any good quality 7 channel radio. Preferably a computer type. Since you don't need retracts you could get by with a 6 channel radio. Servos should be a minimum of 77 inoz on the flying surfaces. 1 per elevator half, 1 per aileron, 1 for rudder, 1 per side for flaps. Servos for throttle and ignition kill are whatever standard ones that came with your radio. 2 NiMH or NiCD 1200 mah 4 cell packs for the receiver. 1 NiMH or NiCd 1200 mah 4 cell pack for the ignition. Not needed if you are using a standard magnito engine such as a Zenoah G-62.

And a whole bucket full of common sense.

I have seen a lot of Ziroli Stukas fly and I have yet to see a bad flying one. Probably make a good giant scale trainer.

Fly safe,

Ken

Status: offline 		Do they need to be giant scale servos? or standard size high torqe?

How do you hook up two battery packs to 1 rx? Could you just use a 2700mahh NiMH pack?

Thanks for the reply

Status: offline 		Standard servos are fine as long as they have 77 inoz or more torque. All manufacturers publish torque ratings for their servos, usually at 4.8 volts and 6 volts. The term "Giant Scale Servo" usually refers to a physically large servo such as Hitec HS-700. I prefer to look at servos based on torque rating and speed rather than terms such as "giant scale" or "hi torque". There are a lot of servos which are no larger than "standard" servos which produce a great deal more torque and are very fast. These good qualities usually bring a proportional price.

2700 mah NiMH batteries will be fine. Connect one through a switch to the battery port of the receiver. Connect the other one through a switch to an unused servo port on the receiver. If all servo ports are used then use a "Y" harness to connect the battery and a servo to a servo port.

Status: offline 		I have a Zenoah G-62 engine with spring starter on mine. 1/4 Scale Servos on Elevator and Throttle, High torque standard size servos on ailerons and flaps. Standard servos on dive brakes, bomb drop and throttle. I am using also two 2000 mah NiCad Batteries. Radio is JR 8103 PCM.
It is an awsome flying plane, and lands like a trainer. You will not be dissapointed. I would seriously consider putting dive brakes and a siren on it. Soooooo coooool
