Need Laundry List From The Experts Please.....

[jamesrxx951]

the re2 is supposed to have a better transition with proper header lenth

[jamesrxx951]

engine DA 50 or DLE55.
2 1100a123's
wolvering switch.
or if you go JR radio a 9100 soft switch reciever or the jr922 power safe reicever both have built in fail safe switchs so you dont need to buy a different switch.
7955's are great servo's but the jr 8611 or 8711 are not a bad choice either.
no power expanders are needed.

Ummm... PlaneBender has a turn-key deal for $1200'ish dollars with all good equipment.....

Header Length
Throttle Curve

My 120" QQ Yak with a 170 and Greeves has a pretty smooth throttle transition. Not quite as good as regular mufflers, but pretty darn close.

Well, I got a couple things so far:
Engine = DLE-55 (306.00)
Radio = Futaba 10CAG with two 7-channel receivers (R617FS) 559.99
The plane will be in on the 19th if all goes as scheduled so I'm hoping to start the build by early Dec. We'll see.
Those Fromeco Badger switches are very nice but is there a close second with a nice LED for ignition "on"?

I've got a 1060 tuned pipe for my DA 50 in an Aeroworks 260. Deadspot in the midrange. goofed with it a bit by chopping the header shorter, it got better, but was still there. Yes, it is an on off switch. maybe if I cut it shorter? I don't know. Shoved in a Slimline pitts, nothing but fun since, but am thinking of tinkering with the 1060 on another DA50 I have. I'll try to contact KS and find out about throttle curves before I start hacking.

get yourself a SmartFly Optical Ignition Kill. it is SAFE and it has the LED for the "hot or not" status. i wouldn't fly a gasser without an ign kill. just my opinion.


good luck and have fun!!!

If you want the same performance and save a few bucks check these out. Nice engine with a machined case and great support.

RCGF 50cc. Sweet little engine with all of the performance of the DL-50. You can pick up an RCXel opti-kill switch and a canister exhaust at the same time.

Guy's, thank you. Al, I already have an engine but thanks for the link. An optical kill is on my list for sure. Matt, thanks and I will keep that stuff in mind. Are regulators a necessary component for any battery type or just li-ion and li-poly? No hurry, I just want to do this right. Thanks again!

You need regs for li-ion and li-poly, or any battery type above the voltage your servos can handle. You dont need them for nimh, nicd, or a123.
