Weston Magnum Servos?
Yesterday I ordered my Weston Magnum ARTF with the new 50 size engine and pipe. Obviously I don't have it yet, but was wondering what I need to buy to finish this plane.
I know I need radio gear and a 2" spinner. Is there anything else I need to supply?
Also what are the recommended type (speed, torque & size) of servos for this plane? How many do I need?
Also I can't remember if the plane has rudder control, or it is only 3-channel? (throttle, ailerons and elevator)
I use Futaba and want to look at getting good servos now so I don't have a delay when I get the plane.

no rudder.
here they use standard ballraced servos, so that and higher will be fine. yes i know i know, flutter, centering. ( never seen a centering problem myself )
i hear you can get a 9oz Dubro tank in them, i would go for it you'll want the extra time, watch those brass bits cracking off tho.

Anybody else care to comment on their experience with servo types?

Magnum servo's
Had a Magnum since Febuary, flyies perfect for me!!
I use standard servo's Futaba 3002 !! and have never had any bad experiences with em.
I use the old wxl with pipe. have never clocked it but it makes heads turn, and for me it's enough to handle.
I fly in heat in exess of 40 deg celcius, during the summer months, and still with 10% nitro she performs.
Have FUN with this great little ship, and you will get hooked on her!

Does Dubro actually make a 9oz tank?
Also what is the shaft size on the Magnum 50 engine? I am looking to buy a spinner and need to know the size for the adapter.

Yes, I was the one :-) I install a 8 Onz Dubro fuel tank. I am pretty sure that maybe you can install a biguer one. You have to find a diferent brand because the Dubro 10 Onz was to wide and does not fit.
Here is the tread about this and other advises:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...78&forumid=162
I also recomend you to reinforce the front mounting block on the fuselage were the wing is atachet with one wood dowel.
I was checking my airplane and there is a play on the wing in that part.............I found that part/wood that have a hole in the fuselage has a crack near the wall of the fuselage, so I have to reinforce that part with epoxy.
Maybe that part crack because a hard landing.

Well is the same size for the nut, also the threaded shaf is more longer so the spinner adapter has more to bite...........
BTW this engine is a Webra 50 :-)

The first round of engines produced for the Magnum were modified Magnum engines. This new batch are made by Webra specifically to our specifications by Webra. The cost is slightly more, but the reliability of the motors and quality has increased.

our??? trying to think of a Joe at Weston UK now lol
anyways, after seeing the West 50s take those high speed runs, shrug their shoulders and say, "come on, that all you got flyboy?" you know why i want the 36 so bad
my Outlaw's Magnum has had 3 sets of ballraces, and a crankshaft snap which needed the case replacing as well, all in just over a year. That Outlaw cant wait to try spanking a West 36
