Default RE: Turbinator-E

I thought I'd bump this thread.

I just spent money.

I ordered the plans.
I ordered a lasercut kit.
I ordered a edf/motor HET 6904 and 2W25 motor
I have a few ESCs and batteries on hand.

Just gotta get retracts. That's where I have questions...

Nick's build article calls for Robert 601P 85-degree mains, and 602 nose gear.

From the pictures in the build article, the wing doesn't look to have much of a dihedral. I'm thinking 90-degree mains might be a better idea.

Has anybody built this plane with retracts? And are they using 85 or 90 degree mains...????

I'll shoot an email to Nick when I get home... But if someone has experience... I could possibly order the retracts sooner.

I'm also considering going with with 604HD/605HD mains and 607 nose.. just to have the slighty larger wires.

Thoughts???
