50%Pitts S1-S

[BoneJuster]

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 !

Radar any mods other than the ailerons, I want to use cans as well what was involved in putting them in? Thanks in advance

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.

hi

i have 4x2400 nicd SANYO and 1x2000 nicd SANYO for the ignition.
2 power box 40/16 Evolution
but i need in France over 25 kg 2 receiver and 2 power box !

i the past i have a Christen Eagle 1/2 EMWH too with a 3W 200cc . for this plane i have just one power box and 2x 2400 nicd SANYO and for the ignition 1x.
approx weight 23kg. but the motor is very short tork @ 80% of throttel....

for the carbon , yes it's fiberglassing with epoxy (200g/m2)
