RE: 35% Giles Availability
Anyone want to know how I'd set one up if I was to do it over again?
The last one came out a little heavy. Flys very well, but it would be even better 3 pounds lighter than the way I did it the first time.
BME 110,
C/F wing tube main wing only,
All JR 8611 servos except rudder, use single 8611A on rudder,
One Matchbox for elevators or mixing method of personal choice,
Ailerons one servo per wing,
Nelson RCL70 linkages, JR Pro Links or carbon fiber rods with Central Hobbies titanium inserts. Alternate, use Tom's method of internal rod inside c/f tubes for ailerons,
SWB 4" arm for rudder with pull/pull,
Single Fromeco 4,400mAh Lithion and Super Reliaswitch for servos,
Single Fromeco 2,200mAh Lithion and Super Reliaswitch for ignition,
Alternate battery type would be Duralite Lipolys for both servos and ignition using (2) Super Reliaswitches, even lighter!!
Rcblimpro tailwheel,
Fiberglass spinner from Bisson Mufflers,
No pilot or panel unless you want to fly IMAC contests. Then paint in the panel and find a superlight pilot.
All up weight should be between 21 and 22 pounds. Potential for less.
The servo choices above will be MORE than enough for the plane if good linkages are used.
