Default 50%Pitts S1-S

I am just starting my build of an Exclusive Modellbau 50% Pitts S1. There has to be someone out there with this kit although I hav'nt come across any thread on this plane. I have seen challengers and some of the build is very similar. Anyone out there have one or can help?

hi,

good choice!

i have a pitts from exclusiv modellbau too !
you can see some pics on the evo web site (evo-engines.com)

i have on each surface :
2 x Ds14021 digi per aileron
3 x 805bb for the rudder
2 x 3W 850 digi for the elevator

the weight is 28 kg, in France over 25kg we need 2 receiver and 2 power box
i think is possible (with lipo ...) to have 26 kg

motor is an Evo 300 Competion, super realistic sound ! on PEFA canister

for the kit i just modify the size of the aileron , because they are very small on the rel version.
This is a lot of work but the plane fly very great !

Julien very nice where did you get the carbon for the motor box is it like fiberglassing with epoxy? What batteries are you using, I have the powerbox champion with 2x2800 for guidance and 1x 1500 on ignition but I dont think thats enough now.
