Default RE: 1/5 Pepsi Chipmunk - Build

Hi Ron,

What engine does Apache recommend for the RCAV? I have heard that they are fantastic flying planes.

Yes, I decided to use a 645MG for the elevators on the Pepsi. I suspect that will be plenty as that is what I also used on the Pennzoil. If it proves to be tight, I can easily add a second servo for them.
Two 5.5Kg servos should also be plenty.

I had been using an electrix starter but had all kinds of problems. Some helpful people in the Glow Engines forum have helped me out with better ways to start it.

Best regards

Ari
