Status: offline 		Tell if I made a mistake. I took the advise of this thread and bought GWS NARO servos. I failed to read the thread correctly and did not buy the NARO PRO. The naro servos are 11oz. Are they too small? We are building a JKA Zero, FW190, and P51. All will have GMS 32 engines.

Status: offline 		I ran Hitec 81's which are 36 oz torque, BUT I ran one servo in the center of the wing. If you are running two servos out in the wing ON THE UPPER SIDE, you might get away with it, but PRO servos are 22 ounce of torque and it would be more power than what I ran. Then again I ran Norvel 25's and you're upping the power.

Me, I'd order the pro versions and use the regular one for throttle control. The darn Pro versions are listed cheaper at Tower anyways so why not?

Status: offline 		Hey thanks! I will send them back for the NARO PRO servos.

We are looking forward to some 2610 Combat at our place in the months to come. Anyone in Mid-Michigan that wants to join in let me know. I will tell you when and where.

Status: offline 		www.rccombat.com is the RCCA homepage and the where you'd look for the rules on 2610. Basically, 1/12th scale WWII airplanes +/- 10% with 26 and under engines. JKAerotech makes some pretty good, easy flying, Easy building airplanes. If you have a 25FX do a Jug or build the TA-152. The Corsair is a cool airplane as well. You have a lot of wing and with enough power you can drag it around at a pretty respectible speed but all that wing makes it loop pretty tight. If you want to go fast, build one of their mustangs. Follow the building techniques and do your own airplanes the next time if you want with their techniques, you'll be pretty happy.

Status: offline 		Are the MINI/STD servos too big to fit in the wing? I have 4 of those and 3 HS-81's. My plan is to use 3 MINI/STD for ailerons and elevator and an HS-81 for throttle. Is that okay or should I use the HS-81's in the wing too?

Thanks,
Steve

Status: offline 		81s do fit in the wing and have 36 ounces of torque, what do your std minis have? And as mentioned before, regardless of which servo you use, put them in the TOP of the corsair wing. You will be landing on your control horns otherwise and constantly ripping your servo gears out.

Status: offline 		Hi Steve, Im not sure who told you that our planes are hard to fix. When I go to the flying field, I usually take along clear 2" tape-5 minute epoxy and extra props. I think the longest down time I have had is an hour and then Im back in the air. I love going to combat events where there is alot of balsa planes. I like the way balsa twirls through the air after a mid air hit. The engines you have will work great. If you want a sport flyer and tamer flying plane, just leave the wings a little longer. On our webpage, there is links to many different building techniques from people on our customer comments page. Any of the suggestion others have posted are all good ideas. The whole idea behind these planes is to have fun and not worry about the occasional bad landing. JKAerotech

Status: offline 		Hey guy, can you go to this thread http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4552795/tm.htm and get ahold of whoever it was that was looking for you? Maybe that guy already has his planes, I hope so, he didn't have much summer left to play with. Not that it would matter around here. Winter just means I sweat less, till I have to put the overalls on.

I think the only durability question is where I told him to put his servo arms on the top.

Status: offline 		For servos I have the plain GWS MINI/STD. It measures 35mm x 16.9mm x 32mm, .86oz. Looking at my kit they seem a little thick. What do you think? Also, in the instructions, you mention that you found a brand of contact cement that works best. What brand of contact cement is that? This will probably be the last plane I build before college so I want to do it perfect.

Thanks,

Steve

Status: offline 		If you have a slight bulge for the servo, so be it. You could always build the bulge on the bottom, but leave the arms on top. Refresh me on Contact cement, the only thing I've ever used was 3m77 but stock now it'll eat foam. There is a replacement, 79?
