Help! 25% SU26 Setup help

Hello,

I am building a 25% Su-26 with a DLE30 motor which I purchased from Valleyview RC my first gas airplane.
http://http://www.valleyviewrc.com/Sukhoi%20Su-26m.htm

I am planning on using an A123 pack for the rx to keep things simple and light. Any suggestions on where to buy it and what size? What type of switch should I run?

Any suggestions on servos? Valleyview RC recommended HS645. Do you think they would be sufficient or should I look at the HS5645 or HS7985. The plane should weight around 10-11 LBS when completed. I like to 3D and fly pattern. I would hate to build a good airplane and put a cheap servo into it causing a poor flying airplane.

Thanks!

Default Re: 25% SU26 Setup help

I have that plane with an SPE 40cc engine. awesome flyer. The landing gear is soft though and the mount for it needs bracing. I`m using the Power HD 6001 servos on 6v. Just finished the 76th flight this morning. Servos are a little sloppy for 3d.

Other than the weak gear mount, you will love this plane!
