Contradictions

Hi guys

I have also fallen for the Apollo and ordered one. I will pick it up next week.
Of course I have also done my research and must agree, that there is mixed signals. The promised flying weight was certainly one thing that lured me in.
Having read about the weight needed in the nose to balance the plane made me think about the setup.
Here are my considerations:

- I will possibly use a heavier motor than I had planed (will decide later)
- KST Servo CM509MG all surfaces
- Rudder with PULL PULL system (I hope this is possible from the layout)
- Possibly build my own, wider motor dome to make it possible, to slide the battery further forward

Setup I am aiming for a 6S Setup with 5000mAh, targeting for an all over weight in the region of 3.5kgs.
I will see what is possible, once I have the parts in my hands and can "dry build" the plane.

As for the instructions, I realized, that it really needed an update already. Bad marks there for SEBA unfortunately!

I have converted the Angel 50 EVO already to the mentioned servos. Yes the openings are for standard servos, but lets be honest, we are still builders and when you build a model like this, you are certainly NOT a beginner!

For a model like the Apollo, what a professional builder/pilot needs, is a starting point for the setup, thats it.

I am looking forward to receiving the model and will make my next post, once I have made plans on how to procced.

Cheers from Switzerland,
Martin
