    Joe Nall 2016, Official Noise Policy?

    Simply put, don't be obnoxious with your airplane. Nobody is making you cease the full throttle fly-by's, just prop your engine accordingly and you can haul around all day. My DA120 doesn't rip the Mej 29x10s it swings even on a WOT downline.

    Price point is close, but the HSB's are a little more depending on where you look. I've seen them under $100 on sale. Tower lists them at $124.99: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEMEW&P=7 But everything at Tower can be had less expensive if you're part of their membership...

    For this airplane, I selected the Hitec HSB-9485SH brushless servos. These are the more budget friendly brushless servos in our lineup that do not feature a heatsink and have steel gears inside. The performance isn't high enough that they mandate a heatsink, but they still have plenty of power...

    Finally got to get started with the build. The first thing you will want to do is get the main gear onto the airplane and sitting on its wheels. First up is bolting the main gear onto the fuselage. You may want to use blue threadlocker on these bolts/grub screws as I did. The kit provides...

    I always like to customize a bit, obviously it'll be getting some Hitec swag, not sure about much else.

    Digging through some of my stuff, it looks like I have some 36" HD extensions which will work perfectly in the tail, and I have a handful of 12" extensions that should work great on the ailerons. My parts list is starting to shrink!

    The servos I opted to go with for this airplane are the Hitec HSB-9485SH servos (9465 on the throttle). These are our more budget friendly, steel gear equipped brushless servos that still feature a constant torque output, lower current draw, and an extremely linear and consistent speed...

    Ah, you see, if I made a desktop list then it would get lost the moment I set it down. Put it on the forums and it doesn't get lost :thumbup:

    I'm one of those guys where bench comparisons don't mean much to me, I have to see the actual performance of the engine in the airplane (side by side preferably) before I jump to conclusions.

    About 11 1/2" where the engine would sit. The 3W70 should fit perfectly inside without cutting, I know the DA70 will. Like I said the cowl is huge, I can fit my gigantic head in it o_O

    Build time!!!! First things first, gotta get her onto her feet. I started by bolting the landing gear in place- the hardware for the landing gear is inside of the same bag as the axles. There should be 4 washers and 4 lock washers, lock washers go on the nut side inside of the canister tunnel...

    It's all good, but if you do it again you'll be needing to send that 70 twin to me ;) :spongebob:
