    Thanks for the info on the servo spreadsheet! That was great to look at all of them on the same page. Appreciate it!

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Thanks Nick, I hear what your saying about rudder and full span ailerons. I might go a bit bigger on the rudder servo. At this moment I won't be able to run full span due to channel restrictions, only an 8 ch. (For now) I've also picked up a power expander (smart fly competition 12) so I can get...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Thank you, I plan on using the recommended arms as well. I hadn't heard of anyone using them yet and was curious how they worked. What sort of deflection numbers are you seeing on surfaces?

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Thanks man I appreciate that! What is considered (High Torque)? I have a set of Spektrum A6380s "in the box" they spec at 160 oz/in of torque. These are the servos they call for in the book. They are "High volt (8.4) High Torque (160 oz/in @ 8.4) and metal gear". Do you think that would be...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Thanks @SjtStriker. I'm excited to get it in the air. What length servo arms did you use? I've done most of the reinforcement that @AKNick has done around the cabin area. I'm going to order some covering and open up the top of the fuse down to the tail and do some X bracing. With it on the...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    We'll gent's, it's here! Went through and looked at everything. Looks really good, no canopy crack, foam on bottom of fuselage isn't broke. Definitely going to go through it with some CA and ensure joints are glued. I've got a few really loose joints, 1/8th inch gap at least! Gonna do some...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Oh man, that's a bummer! I'm excited for you to get in the air. I'm starting to narrow down my RX and servo choices. I'm leaning towards the AR8010T with all the telemetry gadgets. (It's what I have available) With a Smart Fly Competition 12 Plus power expander. That should give me all the power...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Thanks, glad to be here. Thank you for the info. I'll do some looking and determine which receiver and battery set up I want to use, then start going after servos. I appreciate your help! This will be a fairly slow build, getting it done between shifts. I'm looking at a fairly relaxed, sport...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Hey everyone, new to the forum. Just ordered my Timber today. Read through the entire thread, really good stuff. I'll be running a DLE35, X-Cub landing gear (main and tail). I'm not looking for 3D performance (yet), so I believe it will still fly okay with the 35 on it. I did want to ask...
