Default RE: Tango ARF

Hi Alex!

Thank you for your help. I am sorry that I forgot to answer. I was busy working and building that Tango. Thank you very much, your answer helped me to choose the right servos.

I am using a Hitec 5945 on elevator, two Hitec 225 on rudder. JR 4041 on ailerons, steering and speedbrake, JR 4621 on flaps and a hitec 80 on retracts.

For the first flights I installed the standard fixed gear with a retractable nose-gear. That makes conversion very easy. It is almost finished, just a few minor problems. I have made my own fiberglass fuel-cells and I have to secure them inside the fuselage. I carry 3l Kero with a P-60 for power. I hope that it is enough for our small strip. It weighs around 16 lbs dry, that will be just under 22lbs take-off weight. But I can still save weight if I change the heavy batteries to LiPos. That is very easy, as I don't need any weight to ballance, even with LiPos....

Has anyone of you guys flown his Tango and can tell me how to set the throws? I just got the C/G from the german distributor, no maual no throws no nothing . Well, as I told you: it is almost ready for flying (will be in the next two days), so I need the setting. PLEASE, don't let me sit here with a finished jet and no flying

Thank you for your help and merry x-mas (or do you say happy holidays?) and a happy new year,

David
