Default Re: n00bs Gonna Build a Carden

Any good throttle servo recommendations? I sold the ones that came with my DX7 so I need one. Don't care about brand. LHS sells Futaba and JR so I can get those locally.

I know covering and finishing are some of the scary bits for people. I have done some of it before with Solite and with monokote waaaaay back when I built the Spectra. If you think Monokote is bad just try Solite. I want to try Ultracote, maybe on the next project.

There are a couple of good videos by the English dude that works for SolarFilm in the UK. He's got a bunch of useful tips and stuff. Videos are linked at the bottom of the page. Video quality is poor but the advice is good. The trick where he uses masking tape to tear the covering in a straight line is money.
