hi, kind of a newb ? but i am getting ready to start building my fj..and i am wondering what paint i can use to paint it
also what servos are most of you using...i am thinking about running a arc 28-47-1.5 or -2 with a 60-80 castle esc and probably on 4s
You can use oil base or latex base. You have to wipe the plane down with denatured alcohol to remove the production mold release agent,,,if you don't the paint will not stick as well
On the EPP foam paint does not stick well any way.
servos...Hitec 65 mg will do the job and last a long time. Expensive yes but you do not want to guess about servos at any speed over 80 mph.
Make sure to balance your prop and check the watts/amps on 4 cells as to not toast the ESC...80 amp ESC would be the best choice....I always go 10-15 amps above the motor max amp draw just to be sure.
