OK, trying to list everything I need to build a Fairey Huntsman just to get a rough idea of overall price. This is my first build of this type so a complete novice. Discussion in another thread has led me go for electric over IC so now I just need to work out what I am likely to need. So, the list so far:
Motor
Looking at the prices I think I'll stick with a single even though the Huntsman was twin-prop. The Graupner 700 BB Turbo is mentioned a lot but I'm confused by the number of options. Voltage and other specs... Help...
Speed/direction controller.
Thinking I'll go for an electronic controller as these seem to be favoured. I'm detecting that I'll be able to work out which one once I know which motor spec I'm going for...
Servo for rudder
This, I think, is probably the most straightforward item to buy. Probably get Futaba.
Receiver
I think that if I'm using an electronic speed controller then I only need the receiver for the rudder. Probably Futaba again.
Transmitter
I already have a 2 channel Futaba one for a RC car which I plan to use.
I've got this far by reading posts and replies to my posts and also reading the techie bit on the home page.
Feedback welcome!
