My Giles came in last week. After reading most of the posts I could find here on RCU I started feeling like maybe I shouldn't have ordered this ARF. Very few good words on it. Many bad.[] It was just a T.H. Super Saver Club impulse buy I admit. Also got tired of looking at two perfectly good 2-strokes just sitting around during the warm season.
I have an OS .46AX and an OS .61SF both with stock and Slimline Pitts mufflers. The .46AX was on a profile and had unlimited vertical running a 13x4W APC. The .60 was on another so called .46 ARF ,, the Seagull Extra300S. This plane seemed larger and heavier than a .46 should be as well. The .60 flew it fine but the vertical was limited.
I'm at the stage where the elev,rudder pushrods and the motor need installing. Both of these tasks have me wondering which step to take next. Will the darn thing fly with the .46AX >??? Or do I need the .60 to even fly the thing ? (I fly from a paved runway.)
And ,,,, what type of pushrod setup do I need to install for the tail feathers? The elev is a connected one piece setup . But would one rod be enough? The rudder will work fine with a single rod and horn,,, but after all the bad reviews who knows. My CMP Spitfire uses the wooden dowl rod type control rods. I never liked this old style setup. But I have never had problems with them. They just look like something out of the 1960's RC world.
Replies are needed.
Thanks !!
