Yep, I'll be doing a build thread. I have a DA-50 with pitts muffler for power, 8411 servos on the ailerons and elevator, some suitable high torque servo for the rudder (that I still have to get), and running everything on an AR7000 spektrum receiver powered off of a 2400 mah Li-Ion regulated to 6 volts. I'll also install the usual ignition kill (smartfly) and then I should be good to go!

Is it going to be a continuation of this thread or a new one?

Awesome,
I am anxious to hear about the plane, I have watched the video a number of times and Herve said that the production model has some changes (better). I put a Pilot Extra on hold for this one... Can't wait to hear your opinions.
Thanks
Jeff

Are there specs for the flying surfs. I have some new HS5645 still in the box. Can I use them anywhere?

Old Tom

Guess I just want to know how many servos to order. Since I never had a plane this big.

The HS5645 will will work well if you run it off a 6volt pack, it will put out 168 oz torque. You can certainly use them on the ailerons (1 on each), and elevators (1 per half). You could use it on the rudder too, though I am inclined to use a slightly more powerful servo on the rudder.

I don't have the exact specs on the flying surfaces, I'll try to get on of the other guys to chime in on that one.

Sounds good!

Personally I prefer to use aluminum servo arms on 50cc and up.

Got notification from UPS that they have receved The billing Info. and the expected delivery date is 8-11. Many sleepless nites.
I also decided to save th 5645s for my P-47 and ordered 4-HS7585s and 1-HS7955. 4(1 1/4") and 1(3") MPI aluminun arms. Have 2-2700 Ma NiMh for power and 1-2000 Ma NiMh for ign. AR7000 Spectrum recever RCGF 62cc (weight with ign. and muff. 66.3ounces.) Allso have a J-tec Pitts muff that I can use.
This is the setup I'm planning on using. The 62 is going on my P-47 ( like Sweetpea) when it's finished.
If you don't agree wit any part of it let me know,but allso tell me why.

I am jealous! At least my P-47 is flying first!

I can't wait to see how it flies on the 62. Both the Extra and the P-47

If I sell my custom bike then I will buy a video camera. Untill then you will just have to settle for still picks and my word.
Once again. Congratulations on the 47 and your Sukhoi.
I wrecked my Sukhoi yesterday. I hated that plane. It never flew right. That is what I get for buying a plane that was wrecked and to heavy to begin with. Now I'm rid of it and can go on to something better. The recever out of it and the batteries are coming in handy. Must have bin an oman.

I don't agree with the battery and servo choice, but that is because I like LIONs and JR and no other reason. I also prefer the 9ch RX for the 2nd satellite on any plane that costs over $500. I've found that the top of the turtle deck (on the foam) is about the best place for the satellite.
