hi guys,i have a few questions and i hope you can help, i just bought a 50cc airplane. i bought it rtf minus receiver. however i am having issues. they are these... 1. no optical kill switch 2. no receiver regulator 3. no choke set up (no way to operate choke at all) 4. no elevator nuts 5. missing servo extension (wing. bummer) 6. aileron servo screws, one stripped one broken. 7. ignition and receiver switches stacked together 8. batteries together in motor box. look guys, just need a little feed back am feeling a little burned.what do guys think?
Mate, it may not be as bad as it sounds.
1. Optical Kill switches are not mandatory. If you have a manual switch on your ignition and ensure you can kill the engine with the throttle trim, you will be fine.
2. What batteries are on the receiver? I typically don't regulate the Rx voltage, especially on a small-ish plane like 50cc
3. Run a 4-40 wire from the choke and out through the front of the cowling. This is a very simple setup that works a treat
5, 6. You should be able to sort these out in no time
7. This is typically OK with modern electronic ignitions. Just make sure you do a good range check with the engine running (you should do this for each flying day anyway)
8. Same as 7
I hope this is of some help
