RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair
Guys, thanks for the kind words. Here are some more details:
Aileron servos: Futaba 9451 x 2
Flap servos: Hitec 645 MG x 2
Elevator servos: Futaba 3305 x 2
Rudder servo: Futaba 3305
Gear doors: Futaba 3004 x 2
Throttle: JR DS811
Retract valve servo: Expert SL451 mini
1 JR 2400 mah NiCd battery for receiver and servors
1 JR 1400 mah NiCd battery for electronic ignition
2 JR heavy duty charge switches
1 Futaba 127DF FX receiver
Jomar electronic gear and door sequencer
3W75iUS engine
True turn prop hub
Zinger 24x10 wood propeller
The gear doors are my own design. I just use two standard servos to keep it simple and reliable. Yes, it may be a little heavier than a mechanical system. But probably not too bad for a 25 to 30 lb airplane.
