Conwy Soarer Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I am about to start a Sunbird build also, I am planning putting 4 vigors in the wing. I have 2 trains of thought with regard to the ballast tube - build it like in my Vector or do a version similar to my Flying Fish - I will post pics when I get to my other PC.

Conwy Soarer Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Found the pic of the Flying Fish ballast tube. It is fixed to the ply tray with some glass cloth and epoxy, its set with its centre line lined up with the servo tray, servo tray is glued in with Gorilla Glue.

tony cooper 2 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thanks for that, I did consider rising the tube like that, I stillNot sure how to secure the end cap though????Managed to get one of the flap servos sorted last night, ( spoke to Tony at slope racer and he told me to slide it between the two skins, it's very tight but just about do,able,This gives enough room for the linkage.

russ d Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hi, steve dorling of AMI did a very good build thread on RCMF for the sunbird worth a google ? I must admit I struggled getting everything to fit in my sunbird, thought it was just me and my fat fingers ! r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony cooper 2 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Thanks again, I've seen some of the other build blogsIt was really hearing from somebody who had used theSavox servos that I was trying to find, I think I've worked it all out now but you know how it is, you do one waythen you see somebody elses way of doing it and wish you'd done it that way.
