bradp... check out www.sloair.com. They produce the full scale ships, the Sbach 300 (single seater) and Sbach 342.

Hey Rick I am going with the same set up as you DLE 55 (with can) and Hitec 7955s. Still waiting for the plane. Can you tell me the length of the servo extensions that you used for the Sbach.

rudder:
elevators:
Wings:
Throttle:

I want to have all the parts here for when it finally arrives when ever that will be. By the way looks like you did a good job setting her up. Thanks Ken

Re: Pilot RC Sbach 342 50cc build thread

I am just a beginner in the sport. So, thanx for the vote of confidence... I used 2-36" on elevators. 2-12" and 2-6" on ailerons. None needed on rudder. None on throttle. Used 2-6" for charge jacks. Keep in mind where I located the rx... I also used a JR R922 rx with olnly power switch for both bats. ( actually only cuts power to rx) hope this helps and send pics as you can!!!
Rick

Two servos in the elevator or just one? The online 50cc manual refers to one. If two, I gotta go get one more, lol! Thanks for the extension info.
