Default RE: 1/5 Pepsi Chipmunk - Build

Ari,
Sorry no photos..... like I mentioned the other day I must be the last bloke in the UK without a digital camera. Most of the construction completed but still lots of sanding/shaping to do. Fuselage looks very fragile for Moki 180. From your photos my version is different to yours in that it does not have intermediate formers between firewall and wing leading edge.

I notice you have gone the single servo route for elevators. Are you using the Hitec 645MG servo as used in the Penzoil (7.7kg torque). Wonder if using two less powerful servos, say JR 591 at 5.5kg each, is practical?

Sounds like you are using an electric starter for the moki.

Cheers
Ron
