Default planes plus 34% extra

what size servo arms do you need for this plan to get full 3d throws??

i'm thinking:
1-1/4 for the ailerons (hitec 5945's (4))
1-1/2 for the elevators (jr 8611a's (2))
3" bellcrank for the ruder (jr 8611a's (2))

what do you guys think of that setup?? the engine will be the new zdz 80-J. i'm trying to keep it light and simple!!

thanks
tony

One servo for the rudder is more than adequate.

You could easily get by with less power on each elevator halve as well a 5945/8411 will work admirably.

Servo arms sound right to me.

Light and simple?? Why not all 5955s and keep a spare in the flight box.

Default RE: planes plus 34% extra

Got the plane today. Here are some pictures of the initial assembly out of the box. One cool thing about this plane is that all the necessary holes for things like wing/stab tubes and servo wires have already been cut in the covering. I do not know about you guys but I hate to do that and it never comes out looking clean.

One quick question, has anyone actually used the 3 servo tray for the rudder as shown in the pics below??

Thanks
Tony

Glad to see it got there in the right amount of pieces.
