GP Pitts Building Suggestions
hey sticks:
i built mine with a g-62, i used 4 hobbico 110 oz/in servo's on ailerons, 2 on elevators & 2 on rudder, jomar servo reverser on elevators, sullivan steel control horns, i used the ca hinges, if properly installed are good, i installed 2 ernst charge jacks on top of fuse so i could connect both left ailerons to channel 6 & both right ailerons to channel 1, installed 2 1650 mah nimh packs under cockpit area, if you install flying wires use 2-56 screw eyes instead of couplers with holes, they cut the wires, put rc56 glue on all threaded parts of flying wires, on the landing gear i used 50# leader wire from wal mart with springs, make an x with the wires from the top of one leg to the bottom of the other & vise versa, i pinned the firewall with 2 - 1/8'' dowells on each side of the firewall, the lateral balance of my plane was ok & the cg is @ 5 1/2'' without adding any weight, flies perfect, anything else that i can help with i will be happy to just ask
good luck
