Default I am Ready to build my first plane. Please help.

I have had the Wattage Cesna 180 for a couple weeks now and can get it up and down pretty regularly. Are there any kits that can use the same motor and electronics. I would like one with ailerons so I will have to buy another servo but that is ok. Any suggestions? I would love to hear them.

Thanks,

Bret

Bret, I don't know anything about your old plane. What size engine is it?

It being my first plane I don't really know either. Here is the web site about it though.

I am finding that some of the planes do come with an engine but not everything else. Is everything compatable? Probably not.

With electrics you need to match the speed control to the motor

Different sized motors require different speed controllers also brushed and brushless motors use different speed controllers

Best bet is to call hobby lobby or go over to Ezone for electrics thats the place with the info not RCU
