Hi everyone, this is my first post on this great forum so please go easy on me 
I have just started out in the world of RC Planes after flying my father in laws Spirit Glider while visiting him in Spain, this time I decided to get my own radio gear and glider with the hope of progressing to bigger and better planes in a couple of years time.
Anyway, I have been to the local RC shop (20 miles away!) and purchased a nice 9C Super Kit along with all the bits I thaught I needed in order to build the Valbella 2000 made by BMI models. To my horror, the eclosed instructions are absolutely diabolical, how anyone has managed to build this ARF is beyond me. The instructions say I need 2 standard size servos and 1 mini yet the box says I need 3 standard servo's and 1 mini, the diagram within the enclosed leaflet leaves a lot to be desired and tells me little about where the servo's actually fit, which ones should be standard and which should be mini etc etc.
Has anyone got this model? I would really appreciate some photo's of the final internals if anyone would be so kind as to provide me with some?
Fingers crossed someone will have this model.
many thanks in advance
Desperately seeking some instruction, Dave.

Hello,
I have this model. You need 2 std servos 40mm*20mm for the rudder and elevator, and 2 mini servos 26mm*13mm for the ailerons. You will also need a 30A/40A ESC.
Other than that, it flies SUPER !!! Oh, I forgot ... you'll need 2 x 20" servo cable extensions for the wings.
Have fun.

Hi,
I bought one of that (in ebay) and the seller recomended me mini servos. I bought a Futaba radio system 4EX with micro servos and micro receiver (micro connector too). Does anyone beleve that I will be able to use these servos with this model?
