Just got an e-mail from Horizon: they will be shipping mine next week. The manual is now available for download (Adobe reader required). Looks like the servos will be in the fuselage, above the wing, instead of in the tail as they have done on past warbirds.
Hellcat manual:

Beats me why anyone would want to stick a 2 1/2 lb, $340 2 cycle gas engine in an 8~9 lb warbird, just to save on fuel costs, when a 1 1/4 lb, $265 4 stroke engine (Saito .91) would probably supply more than enough power, AND sound a helluvalot better. Oh well, to each his own.

Plus some of us love gas engines for reliability,longevity,already mentioned fuel costs,and my favorite and personal reason no dealing with all that glow oil mess at the end of the day.As said to each his own enjoy your glow engines

Hi Everybody!
I´m brandnew here and I also intend to build the new H9 Hellcat.
What retracts will you use? I thought about a CJ for the H9 Hellcat.
I´ll use most probably the Saito 100 or the OS 91, which also will provide enough power (in my opinion)!

I believe you will need to add about 15oz of lead in the tail for the hellcat to balance. They quote the Zenoah will weigh 41 oz compared to 19oz for the Saito 100. I will use the Saito 100 like I have used in all my Hanga 9 warbirds. No additional weight required. With the correct exhaust system, I get very little residue on my aircraft when finished flying.

I will do my homework. Can't understand why I can't make a comment without hurting your feelings. Sorry I spoke on this forum. Just was making a true statement. I guess you are correct all the time. Good luck with your $330.00 Zenoah gas engine. Hope you have a powerfull battery for it's ignition system. It uses a lot of battery for the amount of time it's running. Let me know how it work's out for you.

Personally I think CorsairJock has the right idea. A Saito 100 would be perfection. Pity is doesn't have a flap option. I like the F6F, prefer the F4U, but would like to own both someday. They'd look good stiiing on the grass together. Anybody know the scale of the F6F?

Why does Hangar 9 recommend a 1/7 scale pilot if is 1/8 scale?

Possibly it is because for some reason: 1/8 scale pilots are hard to find.
It would seem that many times, some of us well informed modelers know more facts about their models than the manufacturers and distibutors do.
If there are any doubts, do the math.

I looked at the zenoah 20cc vs the thunder tiger 61 and I started to lean towards the TT61 with S-3110 futaba servos for ele rud and tail and a 6v 2000mah batt, but i still looking for some better equipment. any thouhts![sm=idea.gif].
