Lee Smalley Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 definetly not s3003s this is petrol and vibration is massive compared to nitro you need to use metal gears preferably and servos with a bit more umpf if you are going for aerobatics 18x6 might be a tad small on 30 cc but it will do to start never had a global edge but seaguls edge 180 is top stuff at about 200 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Some of the reviews dont sound to promising to say the least on the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake gazzard Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 What cheapish servos can i use for the edge then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smalley Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 well i would look at somthing around 5kg pull and pref metal gears or at least karbonite gears not being a futaba users i would not know but otherwise i would use HS645 analogue but never had one fail ever!!! i wil have a look for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Smalley Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 at a push you might be okay with these Hitec HS-485HB but personally i would not recommend them i would still go for metal gears see here for great deals stans a great bloke (talks too much he he ) but his service is top notch and prices are the best anywhereEdited By David Ashby - RCME Administrator on 15/06/2010 15:12:58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smalley Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 you need to be aiming for 4Kg pull upwards really and MG if you can make your budget stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James40 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Please can we use links instead of pasting the whole web address, it makes the thread unreadable from an iPhone or PDA as the stupid adverts fill the centre of the page and cover the text. I keep asking if this can be fixed but it's falling on deaf ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reno Racer Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Having seen both engines, the RCGF 26cc from HK is much better than the Turnigy one. The only thing to watch is the dimensions from firewall to hub. These rear mounted carb engines are difficult to fit most ARTF Cowls (compare the dimensions to a Z26). I would either try and get a side mounted carb version, they are available and Als Hobbies and Vulcan Hobbies stocks them in the UK, or opt to buy a radial engine cowl model, such as a Yak or SU-31.

Vecchio Austriaco Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 About the servos - what about DES 708 BB MG from Graupner? has 8.8kg, 0,11sec/40°, is digital, has ball bearings and metal gear, costs 29Euro (approx 23£ and is for instance available at www.der-schweighofer.at No fear - site is also available in English - for sure with some errors - but better then German. Not all text is translated, but the necessary parts are. Above 50€ you don't pay delivery in Europe. Have some of the DES (digital economy servo) family in use and I am very happy with those.Edited By Vecchio Austriaco on 15/06/2010 22:08:25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter 'Ivanna Crashalot' Savage Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 With my 18th around the corner, I have my eye on the phoenix model Cessna 182! Just wondering whether I could scrounge an engine and servos as well! I would probably be getting a high spec laptop for Uni as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Racer Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Jake , looks pretty good, its not the RCGF but seems to have good reviews. Dimensions are the key; without stating the obvious, it all depends on what airframe you want to fit to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warning was on their website a couple of years back whether it still is or not I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
