Normally the screws that go into the blind nuts for fixing the motor mount to the firewall comes with the plane.

However this is something that you can easily find at a local hardware store, which may be the quickest way to deal with it and keep you going on your build.

I'm sure that John ( Nitrostaff1 ) can send you a suitable set as well.

As far as the "stripped" items for the fuel tank... are you talking about the backplate that squishes the stopper, thus forming the seal?

John can send you are replacement. Please be sure to PM him your order number and reference this thread.

If you have a LHS around you can often find stopper kits there too.

On the other thread you asked about what servos to use.

Standard servos will be fine on this plane. Set the linkages on both the servo horns and the control surface horns about mid way.

User your TX to adjust overall throw.

Re: Battery

Which TX are you using?

Sometimes the receiver you use affects the choice of battery packs.

In turn the receiver you use is affected by which transmitter you are using.

Assuming you do use standard servos, I would put in a 1200mAh or 1600mAh pack.

This should last you through a good 7 to 8+ long flights with a comfortable margin for extended time.

If you were to use higher torque servos, you would get fewer flights out of this size of a pack.





thanks for the reply.

I went to my local hobby shop (60 miles away)and he refused to open his servo case because i did not have my manual to the plane with me. (no joke). I told him that there is no servo info in the manual.He said he had no idea what I was going to put them in and did not want to be held responsible for something breaking. He said "We sell fun here". I told him what I had And showed him the trainer he has that is almost a 100% match to mine and he said he couldn't help me.

I had the bolts to the firewall and new tank hardware but I put them back after all that.

The tx/rx im using is <font size="4"><font color="#551a8b">Exceed RC 6-Ch 2.4Ghz Transmitter w/ Receiver </font></font>

Any links to the battery and servos? Right now I'm looking at a standard 44in/lb servo. All the models i have are RTF or i bought used so this is the first one I have really built.
