I am fortunatly now the new owner of a NIB H9 300S 1/3 ARF that was discontinued a couple or so years ago. I plan on using the plane as a sport flyer and some beginner to intermediate IMAC type flying....no 3D. i want to equip the plane as basically as possible...ie not expensive. Any ideas, opinions, experiences, etc......please Thanks in advance....WC

Status: offline 		congrats on your purchase, the Extra flies very nice and you will enjoy it as such. As far as the "guts" I would suggest the following:

- A123 batteries since you dont need extra doohickies like reg's. This will help keep costs down
- Dont cinch on the servos but there are plenty of 100+ oz servos from Futaba and Hitec that will fit the bill for sport flying.
- Standard RX's will work but watch for noise from the engine. Placement is key here
- For engines I would try to find a used ZDZ80 ot the Super80 for higher performance. Standard 80's have been seen for under $500 here in the marketplace. Great engine combo for this airplane

good luck as im sure others will chime in

Status: online 		Thanks for ideas..especially about the electrics.....thats the kind of info I'm looking for...do the A123 batteries require any special charger? I just got a 3W 75i for the engine, I hope it will fit the bill. Any other info is really helpful...this is my first giant project..Thanks WC

Status: offline 		your 75 should be plenty for sport flying imo but im sure you will get some that say otherwise

the 123's do require a charger but there is more than 1 available from a few vendors that will work fine, sorry I don't have the info handy but someone else is bound to jump in and fill us in
