Thanks Kevin! That does help. As iam a complete novice the first two links are a tad deep to understand but the 3rd one is great. Thanks again, it gives me a starting point. No doubt I shall be back! Cheers. Darren.

Hi all. Am a complete beginner to this and in need of some advice. .... I am building a Ben Buckle super 60 and plan to use an electric motor. Can you point me in the right direction as to what to buy? Dont want anything crazy just powerful enough for a super60 size and weight. I dont have a lot to spend so need to get value for money and I want to get it right first time. Any help/advice will be gratefully received. Cheers. Darren.

Thankyou chaps! That's a great help. Learning all the time

Daft question but is Standard an actual size?

Hi all. Can some one tell me what size/spec servos I will need for a 3 channel Super 60 I am about to build. Am very new to the hobby and have noticed that servos come in lots of sizes and speeds.Not sure what I need. Many thanks. Daz.

Ahhh Cheers for that! Am learning all the time....What a great forum this is

Ok. Here comes another question .....Iam wanting a Super 60 but an electric one. I can only seem to find electric Junior 60's. Whats the diff between a super and a junior? And can I just add an electric motor to a super without having to modify it?

Cheers dean! Thanks mate. Daz.

Ah Cheers Simon. I was literally about to buy the plane online so I will pause and look for the one you mentioned. Here is my second stuid question! I told you there would be many......What type of glue do I need to buy to build the plane with and will I need any apoxy .type stuff. Cheers. Daz. P.S Do you know where I can get an electric super 60 as a kit?Edited By darren ismail on 04/03/2013 21:14:10

Ah Thanks chaps. Some good advise there! I was wondering if I should find a club for cutting my teeth in. Iam I York so will have to have a look for a club nearby. Bo doubt I will have many a question as I begin the project. You will be hearing from me again Thanks again guys. I plan to take pics as I go so will be doing a photo diary of the build. Cheers. Daz

Hi all.Am new on here so just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Daz and I wanted to ask a couple of stupid questions to get me going. Iam about to build a Ben Buckle Super 60 with my 8yr old son and we want to make it electric. I made a Piper cub 20yrs ago which ran on a wee petrol motor type thingy and from looking about it seems electric is the way to go. My questions are what exactly apart from servos do I need to make it go and do I need to install anything as I build it? Or do I install all the electrics and motor etc once the plane is fully made. Sure this has been asked before but I have ni knowledge on the subject. Any pointers and advice is most appreciated.Cheers in advance! Daz.
