Re: TBM / Pilot-Rc Decathlon
I guess nobody is assembling this plane yet.
I'm worried about the landing gear in this plane. It is just a normal aluminum gear and I don't know if it would stand some hards landings without bending.

Re: TBM / Pilot-Rc Decathlon
What kind of servos are you using ? I'm planning to use Futaba 9157 and I'm wondering if I can use two (2) per aileron and one (1) per elevator. For the rudder, I'm still not clear if to use the Seiko or three (3) 9157.

Re: TBM / Pilot-Rc Decathlon
I am using 7955's everywhere,,,thats' what I had. The rudder is very effective, no need for a Seiko, two 9157 would probably be fine for ailerons and rudder. The only reason not to fill all of the servo bays is cost, wieght is not an issue.

Re: TBM / Pilot-Rc Decathlon
I was thinking more about the cost of the servos and the complexity of using so much cable with the consequent probability of interference (that happened to a 50% Cub in here....).
Are you using three (3) or two (2) for ailerons ?

Re: TBM / Pilot-Rc Decathlon
Do you think there's space to install a DA200 engine (four cylinders) ?

Re: TBM / Pilot-Rc Decathlon
I am using two per elevator, three per aileron, and three rudder servos. I did change the ball links to DuBro and H9 Ti stuff.
The DA-200 would be the ultimate engine!! I know the TBM prototype will hover on a DA-170. The 200 would be so sweet!
