Cessna 337-25 ala Nitro Planes

I thought I would start a build thread on this ARF but it will be delayed.
The ARF was purchased on the black friday sale.
That meas buy it from web page data not time to ask questions.

Below are the specs from NP:

Wing Span : 55 in / 1400mm
Wing Area : 426 sq in / 27.5 sq dm
Flying Weight : 5 lbs / 2270g
Fuselage Length : 43 in / 1090mm

Engine Required : 2Strock 0.25size or Outrunner Brushless 450T - 500T
Radio Required: 4 channels 5 - 7 servos ( use Outrunner Brushless only 5pcs servos)

The question that should have been asked is what size servos for the 5-7 servos?

I cut the covering for the ailerons. It became clear a standard would not fit. The aileron servo pockets are tight on a Hitec HS-225BB Mighty Mini and Loose Fit on Might Micro HS-85BB.

And for the Micro the notch to give clearance to the servo lead is so big the mounting screw is in free space!

Same goes for the servo pockets in the fuselage!

For nose gear steering a nylon gear MICRO servo will not hold up to the forces endured. A metal gear will have to be found in my invetopry or severe alerations for a standard servo.

NOW Nitro planes does not make the ARF they just get them in from a factory in China and sell them here.

My guess is that when you buy a bunch of planes to resell you need to turn them over quickly, before complete testing of the product, and before the word (AVOID) gets out on the internet.
