RE: Seagull Ultimate 120 gas only thread
Radio is DX7 and receiver is ar7000, servos I am using in it are rudder Hitec 5945mg digital, elevator futaba 3305's, ailerons are Hitec 5645mg digitals, throttle futaba 3004. Servos are overkill for this size of plane but I used what I had laying around. for receiver battery I am using a JR 2700 6volt extra pack attached under the canopy between the two front braces. battery at instruction position made it a little nose heavy. So i split the difference and attached it to the canopy. Battery switch is JR heavy duty with charge jack built in.
I put three flights on it Sunday morning and it flew great. The 125 saito is plenty of power with a 16*6 prop(Zinger wood). Using cool power 15% synthetic fuel. I didnt try anything crazy with it but it will cruise around nice at about 1/4 to 1/2 throttle and vertical performance seems pretty good with it. engine is new and still running very rich. Once I lean it down a little it should have unlimited vertical performance (I hope). I will do some more flying this weekend and see what it can really do. Landing this thing is very easy and slow.
I might be leaving the 125 on it and forget about gas for now, It seems to have more than enough power but havent really flown it enough to judge it yet. So far a great flying bi-plane with super responsive control surfaces.
