RE: Pheonix Extra 330S 60-90 Size
Just got my model couple weeks ago. This weekend I started the build of the Phoenix Extra 330s. During the build I found a few things that were missing or not the right part. My plane didn't come with a radio tray - I had to make one. The control horn assembly for the Rudder - the threaded rod was not there. Luckly, the hardware used Metric stuff so lot of nuts and bolts I use for my helicopter worked well with this plane. I went with the servo setup for the elevator that was in the manual. I'm still trying to get it right. Full up elevator - the right goes 1 cm higher. Full down elevator - the left goes 1 cm lower. I figure I gotta get both servo arm in the same position and use a hole in the servo arm that will match equal height with one another. Anyway, I'll keep working on that. I've got DS821's on the Elevators and Ailerons. The rudder has a HS-5625MG. I haven't decided what to use for the throttle. I'm thinking of a mini servo. Any suggestions? I have an OS FS_70SII, OS FS_91SII w/ pump, and OS FS_120SIII w/ pump. Can't decide witch would be best for sport flying. I figure the 120 will be an overkill. I'm really leaning towards the OS FS_70. Any Suggestions? If I do go the OS FS_91 route I'm thinking of the Master Airscrew 14x6. I quickly went thru this thread and found that peoples plane are tail heavy. I'm no where near balancing yet - but I do have a larger tank. its a 12oz Dubro tank. Hopefully, that would correct the tail heavy syndrome. I have an AR7000 going into the plane. A 1200mAh 11.1v 3S Lipo battery and a Castle CC BEC regulated to 5.1v. So far I haven't mounted the electronics since I don't know where the plane will balance. I couldn't find it in this thread but how much elevator would be good? And lastly, any wisdom in what to expect for take off, flying, and landing?
