Default How Do You set up the radio gear in a Great Planes Pitts

Chuck:
I am using two batteries & switches in mine, this gives you a redundant battery in case one fails. If you have a computer radio you will want to split the ailerons, right to channel 1 & left to channel 6. This will enable you to program in flapperons & spoilerons, elevator on channel 2, throttle on channel 3 & rudder on channel 4, this is the way it sets up for futaba equip. as far as the engine, I heard the os will fly the pitts but just barely. As for mine I am running a zenoah 62cc gas engine which is way more power than you need. I am running 9 servo's in mine, 4 aileron, 2 elevator, 2 rudder & 1 throttle. I hope this helps & if I can help you in any way i'll be happy to.
Good luck
Gil
