Default RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD

Hello,

Here's the setup of my 109. Very bad weather in Europe, so the maiden will have to wait a few weeks. My engine is brand new, so i'll run it in on my lawn in the plane. That way I can see if the CPM engine mount and the spinner will hold out.

Engine: OS 120 AX
Prop: Master Airscrew Classic 16x8
Aileron Servos: 2 x Futaba S3152 Digital Hi-Torque
Flap Servos: 2 x Futaba S3010 Hi Torque
Air-break Servo’s 2 x Futaba S3004
Throttle servo: 1 x Futaba S3001
Rudder Servo: 1 x Hitec HS645MG
Retract valve: Air-Power EV-2U Dual action retract valve (no servo needed)
Retracts: Sierra CMP Me-190 retracts
Wheels: Supplied wheels, supplied wheel bays used.
Receiver: Futaba R-149-DP
Power Management System: Engel. Seperate 6v power supply to both servo’s and receiver.
Battery: 2 x Zippy Lipo 2200 Ah each.
Coverter 7.2v to 6v: Engel Dual Power Converter.
Weight: 6070 gram (13.4 pounds Flight ready without fuel)

Used the supplied spinner with better screws. Have a Fliteskin aluminium one if the plane survives the maiden and test runs.
Used Hobbycity tail wheel which is much stronger and more scale.
Replaced push rods for carbon ones.
Used supplied hinges.
Placed throttle servo near the other servo’s to protect from heat and oil.
Used recommended throws with 30% exponentional on the rudder, elevator and rudder.
CG set at 112 mm with Great Planes CG machine.
