E-Flight Tribute EP Build...Help?
 

Needs some help guys...Im trying to build two electric planes as inexpensive as possible. What Ive got so far for sure is the E-Flite Tribute EP(EFL-2000)...I need suggestions on the rest please, heres what I have so far. The plane comes factory with a brushed motor so im going to use it with a (Telebee T-35B ESC 35 amp) street price $11.50 shipped. (Thunderpower 1320mAH 2-cell 7.4v Lipo,jst) street price $35.95. Im kinda in the dark on a good inexpensive reciever and mini or micro servos, I have looked at a (Celectra 1-2 cell Lipo charger) street price $24.99. Now for more speed...on the other plane im going brushless with a ( Park 370 or 400 motor) street price $54.99 a 4-cell Thunderpower battery once again Im trying to stay in a budget on the speedcontrol, reciever, and servos. Futaba is my radio, none of this but the plane I have to use. Please tell how you would build them? All comments, suggestion and prices are very much welcomed. Thanks Ptdude

GWS is a good value for receivers and servos.

Be careful when seeking "cheap" equipment, doing this for as little money as possible. Cheap does not necessarily mean inexpensive.

Celectra will only charge 1-2 cell packs for the brushed motor, so you have to upgrade to a different LiPoly charger..(safety first priority)-I'm using GWS Naro servos (4). Receiver is GWSR6NF 6 channel rx. GWS GS-400J Speed control w/heatsink..I bought 2, (one might sell non brushless set-up) complete..NIB.

Other I built with a brushless EFlight motor.(370) digital sub micro servos-Castle creation 25 amps brushless speed control-3 cell Li Poly battery..Completed brushless one, non brushed complete with everything nothing opned yet..Hovers great, not much it will not do in a gym or outside..Friend built his non brushless same as above incredible flyer as well..Good Luck
