RE: Do I have everything I need?
 

I would try to get the fuel local. You good buy
3 galons for the same price as tower if you
can get it local. The list looks good and kinda
makes me want to order something. I havent
ordered anything in some time now. I still
like receiving airplane items in the mail. I
guess i still got alittle kid in me. ;)

I would add a couple of different prop brands and pitches as well, and 30 minute epoxy. The 5 minute is ok for some things but for landing gear or firewall fixes you want the 30 or 45 minute. Looks pretty good otherwise. I would maybe add another fuel pump. These can sometimes go pretty quick and leave you blowing into the tubes at the field.

An 12.25x3.75 is too much for a 45 you need at least a high torque 50 like the west for props like those, also for a trainer you would be much better of with a 11 x 5-7 or 10 x 6-8 The suggested prop is really best for a 3d type plane although originally designed for control line flying.

P.S I would Reccomend the 11 x 7 As a good starting point.

recomending APC 12.25x3.75 for a trainer come on guys!

I agree its a great prop and use it alot on my 46FX and the best performer for it. but not for a trainer
Why he should put a $4-5 prop on a trainer that he is going to break in the first or second landing.

You are good with your list I would buy it before someone tries to put a DA-50 in it

You don't have to buy everything right now, you ceratinly don't need incedence meter for a ARF tariner, it will fly anyway and you won't be able to tell the difference plus it is a rubber banded wing incidence will be different evreytime you mount the wing.

Just fly your airplane, there is to much to learn and to buy but burn several gallons of fuel and have fun. oh btw I assume you are getting help from an instructor, you sound like an intelligent guy.

The 12.25x3.75 is popular, what can I say. My LT-40 really floats with that prop. You guys watch yourselves, you might hurt my props' feelings. [sm=cool.gif]

I agree that using a cheaper prop is the best in the beginning.
