can someone tell me what kind of servo's the use and send me some detail pictures from the rc part(inside of the fuse)
I want to build i with a DA50 or DL50 and go 3D all the way. so I will build light and strong. wings from 1 part, no wing tube's to reduce te weight.

greets from belgium...
a smoke pump is a option too

Skystar,

Standard size servos will work, especially if you use a single servo per elevator. I would suggest going with high quality digital servo with metal gears, such as the Hitec HS-5645MG. For a discussion of the benefits of digital servos, check out my blog post on the topic: http://gundersonaerodesign.com/blog/?p=5.

If you don't use the wing tubes, how do you plan to join the wings?

Cheers,

Rich

Hi everyone.

We are kicking around the idea of offering a CNC cut foam core wing for the Pitts. I want to hear from you if this is an option that you would like? Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Rich

OK so i found a way. As i own Photoshop i printscreened all the parts in Adobe Reader and pasted them into Photoshop so i got them all to one "plywood board" (well not all, separated playood and balsa boards), and every part is 1:1.
