Learn How To Fly W/ The Rc-help Trainer. Build & Fly Guide

[Coldblood588]

It says on your guide to have a 1000kv motor, would a 1080 kv motor work. For example Park 370 Brushless Outrunner Motor, 1080Kv.

 

[Tony]

Yes, a 1080 will work as long as it's at least 250 watts and about 60-90 grams in weight.

I know that it may be hard to answer, but what 6+ channel radio do you suggest under 200 USD ( I'm on a budget). Is the Spektrum DX6i a good radio, and should I get a full range version of will the park flyer be sufficient. Also can you be more specific on the servo type and how many I need(I'm making a parts list).

 

[Tony]

The DX6i is a great Tx, it's what I used when I got started in the hobby as have many others with great success.

As for servos, I use just cheap blue servos on this plane and they work great.

Battery Voltage?

I feel bad for asking so many questions, but how else am I supposed to learn? lol

 

[Tony]

You will want to run a 2200mah 3s 20c battery minimum. The voltage of that battery is 11.1 volts.

 

[Tony]

Sky Lipo 2200mAh 11.1V 20C

How about the Esc?

Receiver?

I felt bad so I liked your facebook page.

ESC
Exceed RC Proton 30A Brushless ESC Speed Controller

The Rx will come with your DX6i, or it will if you don't get the Tx only package. If you do, then order an AR6210. But, it will be cheaper to get the Tx with the Tx.

don't feel bad for asking questions. that is what we are here for.

 

[Coldblood588]

tx, rx?

 

[Tony]

Tx=Transmitter
Rx=Receiver

 

[Coldblood588]

When it says without servo does that simply mean does not come with a servo or something else? EX. DX6i DSMX 6 Channel Full Range without Servo MD2

 

[Tony]

That is correct. Without servo means there are no servos in the box. You don't want those servos anyway, they are full size servos and would be way too large for this plane.

 

[Coldblood588]

Does the previously mentioned esc contain a bec?

 

[Tony]

Yes, ti's built into it. FYI, if they don't have a BEC built into them, they will usually have "OPTO" in the name. This tells you that there is no BEC. And I have no idea what OPTO stands for lmao. There is an actual meaning to OPTO, but that is for another thread lmao.

I have searched and have failed to find the dubro .047 control rod and control horn.

Here is a kit with both.

You can usually get all of this from your LHS (Local Hobby Shop) and save on the shipping.

 

[Coldblood588]

Are they the things you jab into the elevator and connect to the control rod?

 

[Tony]

These are control horns. Again, you can get these from your LHS.
