Now If I may. altitude arcing happens just like it says at high altitude with full scale airplanes running unsealed magnetos. I dont think we should broach that subject in this venue.

There is a ton of mis-information being discussed in this thread. For example. The DS-821 servo. Dude show me some proof. I had those on my T-Craft and wrung that airplane out. Never 1 failure. That said read your airplanes manual and use the appropriate servo for the correct application. On the airplane videos I posted above, I contacted SIG and used the DS-821 on the ailerons and used metal gear servos on the rudder and elevator.

Again there are a lot of choices to be made. There are many different ways of doing things that achieve the same end result. Your way, my way, may or may not be better or worse than some other builder.

So to the OP. I think you will see a lot of BS is this thread. Some good some bad and some dont have a clue. You my friend are going to have to sift through it all and come out the end with the nuggets of gained knowledge. However I would quit reading this forum, go to your local field, pick someone that flies gas airplanes and has been doing it awhile, then ask to look at their setup and take pictures. Do that again on another guys gas airplane, then again. You might even go to another field and do the same.

Here is what you glean from this. You will see a pattern of how guys put their airplanes together and most of them will be similar with a few exceptions and it all boils down to choice, such as bettery placement, this radio or that. But what you need to pay attention to are the basics. How was the engine mounted. How did he run his controls. etc. Once you gain some knowledge. Come back to this forum and read through all the BS and have a good laugh at all the mis-info here.

My 2 cents.
