Tony.New this year with 30 flights on it.
Carden 35% Extra 330s
JR 10x- 955S receiver
ZDZ 100 NG with KS tuned cannisters
2-8611s per aileron
1-8611 per elevator
2-8611s in a SWB tray and SWB control horn in rudder
3-JR Matchboxes-Not so sure,but I think I only needed the 1 for the Rudder.But I have 1 on each AIL. also.
Duralite Powerbox with Lithium Ions
Duralite Lithium with regulater for ignition.
I absolutely love this plane and the setup.I originally had to put 1 LB of lead on the firewall and moved the batteries as far forward as possible to make it balance as per plans.I have since removed the lead and am going to move the batteries back 1 at a time.It weighs between 28 and 29 LBS.It will go vertical forever but not like a rocket.The crispness of the controls on this plane are incredible.Build it as you have planned.As for engines,I'm extremely happy with my setup.I haven't tuned the system properly yet so performance may get a little better.If I had to do it again I think I would opt for the BME 110 Extreme.Although any of the 100 cc will be just fine.I went with the cannisters for the clean cowl area and the sound.You can't see where they exit.I wouldn't trade the setup for anything else.My 2 cents worth.You will enjoy it.
