RE: Funtana ordered. What else is required?
Opjose,
thanks for the advice. My setup will be as follows-
Futaba 9CAP with 2.4Ghz module and 6008HS Rx.
Servos- either 3010s or 3350 depending on what is available when I build it. I will use 5 of them and one standard servo on the throttle.
Engine will be 120AX with powerbox muffler and muffler extension if required
Prop 16x8 MAS Scimitar series. I have already bought one and it is completely balanced as is. I will use a GP spinner with aluminium backplate
Fuel- I will use plain castor to run in and klotz-100 based fuel for regular flying. Will use the same prop for run-in
Hydrimax 200mAh 6V battery pack or Hobbico LiFe 3200mAh 2S battery pack
I will setup the servos on 1st and 8th (I think) channel to turn in the same direction, then mechanically oppose them. i.e. on one side the pushrod z-bend will be in the servo horn hole on the top side and on the other it will be on the bottom side. I will either use the 6-armed horn or aluminium horns from GP similar to the one I need to use on the Reactor Bipe. Since I will use the "1" numbered arm on both sides, the servos will move in sync. I will do the same with the ailerons
This is where I need advice.
1) I read somewhere that the two standard sized servos will not fit into the fuse as the tail is not wide enough and the elevator servo holes are in the same place on both sides. If this is so, I will have to get the more expensive low profile servos.
2) Will the 3010s be enough for the rudder at 6V or do I need to get different ones. After having a number of problems with Hitec I have given up on that brand, so Futaba it is
3) Do I need to replace the elevator and rudder horns with aftermarket ones- ball-link or cotter pin type or something (Sorry, I am not much into types of horns)
5) What else do I need to replace or strengthen
