Default H-9 1/3 CAP Hardware?

I found that the elevator arms needed to be 1.25", not 1". It made it a lot easier to set up with the programmer (Hitec 5945's all round).

I made my own CF control rods with CF tube and 4-40 all-thread as I always do. Light, strong and it don't break the bank.

Rocket city stuff is cheaper if you get it from Aeroprotect Corp.

I prefer to get the stuff myself, and not buy a package. There is always something I don't like in the package and end up tossing it away. Wasted $$$.

What I used was:

Servos: HItec 5945 digital (4 Ail, 2 Ele, 2 Rdr) + Hitec 425BB (Throttle)
Servo Arms : AirWild (1" on Ail(4) 1.25" on Ele(2) 1.25" on Rdr(2)). Hitec 3/4" on Throttle.
Control horns: Rocket City RCL69D except Rdr - RCL70.
Rods: CF & 4-40 all thread.
Tank: DuBro 32oz. Aerotrend fuel tubing and a Tetra fuel dot.
Pilot: Life-like 33%.
Spinner: TruTurn with lightened backplate.
Prop: Mejzlik 27x10 (not for 3D, for IMAC practice).
Switches: JR heavy duty charge switches.
Batteries: 2 x 6V 1650 NiMh and 1 x 4.8V 2700 NiMh from Radical RC
Extensions: Home made Y's and Extensions.
2 Parsons extension clips for Aileron leads.

Can't think of anything else...
