After the failure of the Glasgow purchase, I've decided to go in a somewhat different direction and ordered a Deans LCM kit...fancied one for a while now, never built anything like this, so seeing as how I had the money, I decided to go ahead and buy one.
It'll be here Tuesday, so whilst awaiting it's arrival I'm getting things together for it. I have a brand new Planet 7 tx/rx combo, plenty of servos, two brand new Mtroniks 10a/h Micro Viper esc's, but I'm short on motors.
I would like the bow door operational, but that'll have to wait until the kit comes, then I can have a look and see how Deans recommend doing it.
Questions:
I have a pair of brand new 280's...are these going to be ok, or will they be too small, do you guys think?
Is it worth using independent motor control via an Action mixer on a craft like this?
What would be the ideal prop sizes to use...30mm or 35mm?
Power source...nimh's or a gel cell?
Any advice would be gratefully received as always...
