How to properly install battery/ receiver/ engine/ servo/ screw on the plane? If plane lost one part of others It maybe No-control on air and so dangerous. If I can properly install and check every parts on ground, the failure rate can reduce to "zero" ?

What type of plane are you using or thinking of using? There are some great trainer planes that come with excellent instructions and will answer your questions!

The way the parts are installed is going to vary with the type of plane you are building, but I will attempt an answer. Assuming you are building an average 40 sized glow-powered plane...

Attach the engine to the engine mount with bolts and nuts. Attach the engine mount to the plane with bolts too.

Attach the servos to a tray or wood beams inside the plane with small wood screws and grommets.

Wrap the receiver and battery pack in foam rubber and mount them inside with rubber bands or velcro. Make sure they won't move around while the plane is flying.

Check all the bolts/nuts/screws and connections before your first flight and after every 2 or 3 flights to make sure they are still tight. This will help, but there is no way to reduce the chance completely to zero. That's just the nature of this hobby! Good luck!

Hi, Jerry,
I am assemble H9 1/3 Extra330 currently, the vibration is serious of single cylinder Engine.

Engine: ZDZ 80RV,
Servo: JR579*4(RUD.*2+ELVE.*2), Ftaba9151*4(AIL.*4),
Receiver: Futaba PCM (9ch*1+ 6ch*1 ),
Battery: SANYO 2400mAh*2(receiver) + 1500mAh*1(CDI).

Thank your reply, I will follow your suggestion to install servo/ batter/ receiver/ engine. how much thick of foam rubber?
The failure ratio can not to reduce to zero,and the "How to do" could fly more than 1000 times,possibly?

No offense Yahsung, but if you are asking these kind of questions a H9 1/3 Extra330 might be way to much plane. Just that engine and airframe go for over $1500. You could do some serious damage if they plane is not setup correctly.

Do you have previous flying experience or any anyone to help you with this plane?

With servos, radio gear, plane, and motor you have an amazing setup there, I would have to see it lost because of inexperience. You could get going in a trainer for a fraction of the cost and work your way up to the Extra which in my opinion is a dream machine!

Hello Yashung! Yes, I would agree with Gringo. If you don't have too much experience with R/C planes, you wouldn't want ot start out with a H9 1/3 scale Extra 330. It's a very challenging airplane to fly.

Please understand, nobody here would want to discourage you in your desire to fly, but you would have a much better chance of success with a more simple trainer type of plane. And also with the help of a more experienced pilot.

Well, whichever way you go, the best of luck to you!

In answer to your question, you could use either 1/4 or 1/2 inch foam rubber to wrap the R/C equipment. And with luck and regular maintenance, you could be flying your plane for many years- possibly more than 1000 flights! I have a plane that I have been flying for over 10 years- I lost count of the number of flights.

Good luck!

Thank you, That's right I need your suggestion and teaching. Could you share your experience or rule of making?
Q1)how to package battery?
(2) how to fix battery on frame?
(3) how to fix servo/switch?
(4) has need two receiver in one plane?

yashung, I am in Taipei now and I'm more than willing to help you out... BUT... even I have never built a 1/3 Extra. I'm surprised that you would be building this plane!!! It is clearly a very advanced plane and I doubt you will really be able to get enough detail in the answers on this forum. But you can try!

I would try going to the flying field in Xing Zhuang (Shin Chuang) next to the river on saturday all day or sunday afternoons. There are usually a bunch of people flying 33% planes there including three identical 33% H9 Ultimates. These guys, which include 3 hobby store owners, will be able to tell you and show you exactly what to do. You'll not only get an explanation BUT ALSO get to see what it looks like when it's done.

Building that plane isn't dangerous... but if it's not done properly, flying it will be... please please get some help from these guys. And if you don't, let me know where you're flying so I can avoid it :-) Seriously though, if it's not done right, those planes can really cause a lot of damage and most of the flying fields are not so far from pedestrians. A fight broke out a month ago because someone almost got nailed by a GS plane coming down.

GET HELP! Just let them know that you're building a 33% gasser and they will be helpful. Don't just ask questions... they get weary of that real soon!
