Brushfire ? good desicion Davidsure you have plenty of questions about the model [&:], regarding small pattern models I think I have the same problem, since I get those electric engines I feel more confident with performance, thereare no surprise's ( dead stick, carburation, hotshot etc ) with them, but u cant replace the smell of nitro burning
!
Im sure you ' ll keep us informed on this new project, but please finish the old ones first
!!!!!
An electric Brushfire 10 (I'll stick to calling it a 10 this time and not a 15) with retracts would be wonderful! In several respects it would be easier to build than the glow version.
I will bring the project to life later when, as you say, other projects are wrapped up - the wrapping will all happen this summer (some of it is already happening!)
The inspiration and planning of projects in this hobby is one third of the fun for me - especially scratch built projects!
By the way, unless better ones come along, I've already chosen radio gear for this model: Futaba 3114's on a Spektrum Rx
At 24 oz of torque, .09 transit, 7.8g, small dimensions and an excellent price, they sound like the ideal choice for models of this size! Perhaps not as good as the Hitec HS-65's but considerably better than the HS-55's. It's been a while since I've used Futaba servos.
