Please explain.

Status: offline 		You don't need to drill holes, just use a long screwdriver and push those babies in, they are self tapping screws.

Here's a great investment for anybody building these planes.

Go to microfasteners.com and order a couple items. First is hex head servo screws 7/16" long, you will use them everywhere, not just in servos. They are so handy you'll want to buy a couple bags. Maybe get 1 bag of the longer 9/16" screws also.

Then order the long handled ball socket wrench, 5/64". You will feel like a god with all the things you can do and places you can reach. Totalo cost is about $10 for a wrench and a bag of screws.

Status: offline 		Mine balances with the 2 A123 flight packs about 2 cutouts aft of the tube in the 1st "bay" behind that is the reciever and behind that the 2 rudder servos.
Ignition was mounted behind motor box and 1 A123 next to the tank.
I have a CF spinner so you would need to allow for that.
The flight packs are easily moved forward or back, Ist flight I put them a little forward and then after that moved them back 3" once I knew how it flew/landed so Im on the aft of the tube now.
Ignition pack is now back against the tube since I took these
You can see 1st flight reciever pack site in one photo, and the one with them even is the current place.

Status: offline 		yeah from the amount of space in the bird and wire length even with an extra few ounces with an aluminum spinner i dont think balance is going to be hard to achieve at all specially with that lightened back plate(went with a tru turn)MPI was not cutting it for me . Not much done here tonite just mounted my rudder servos.

Status: offline 		Getting ready to order the gear for the Extra and I need some opinions.

I am wondering if 2 each per wing 5955s are overkill? I currently have 1 ea on my 50cc Sukhoi.

The alternative would be to go with 2 ea per wing 5985s.

Batteries. Not going the A123 route just yet. Will 2 2600mah packs for the servos and 1 2600 for the ignition be plenty?

And also, what length extensions and how many do I need?

Status: offline 		Yeah two per wing IS overkill. If you have them then go with it bro. You will have really responsive ailerons. This plane and the 41% demand strength on all their flying surfaces. They are large and very responsive. Yes you could go with a slightly less expensive servo but why?

I found out on my 41% even with 5955's I was getting some blow back. This is an area no to cheap out on. It could potentially lead to dangerous situations in flight.

Status: offline 		Once again, thanks.... I hate having a feeling of what to do, then questioning it. Tom has the 5985s packaged with the deal on the WH webpage, so I thought I would ask.

Right now the gear kinda looks like this:

Smart Fly PE EQ10 (found a deal on one)
Smart Fly Turbo Reg
Badger switch for ignition
Wolverine switch for receiver batteries
2 2600 Mah for RX
1 2600 Mah for Ignition
Smart Fly Ignition Regulator
6 5955s for Ailerons and Elevators
1 8711 for Rudder
1.5" SWB arms for ailerons
2" SWB arms for elevators

Sound like a decent set up?? Still havent pushed the buy now button.... hahaha
