RE: Top Flite Staggerwing
Hey greenl3vf
Glad to hear you have one on the way! Did you get the retractable tail wheel? It didn't come with my gear set. Only the mains.Here's the info Hobbico sent me on the tail wheel:
On our prototype the tail wheel that we used is the #121 (ROBQ2210).
The servo that we used is the FUTM0035 it is a car servo but it works
nicely. If you do not want to use the same servo be sure that it has at
least 90 oz of torque.
I don't fly off grass. Sometimes I wish I did but we have concrete, blacktop and various types of compacted dirt. I need to watch for rocks. I won't fly it on less than good runways. I usually decide where I'm going to fly that day and select aircraft that can handle the particular surface of the field.
We had a full scale stagg at an air show our club did . It was cream with red trim. A truly immaculate restoration. The low pass he did for us was spectacular. I may have more pics I'll have to see. The weather was poor that day in the morning and early afternoon. That did not stop the festivities though.
