A good freind gave me this plane.....couldn't believe it but I took it none the less I ain't crazy heh.....I know some of you guys fly the big ones and I need some help heh Im wonder what motor and servos for this dude I was thinking a DA 100 and jr8611's but take a look this ones has never been flown said he just got tired of it.......

Wow, what a pal! I'm gonna move to your neighborhood. That's a 1/3 scale then? Maybe an old Ohio RC kit?

 

[Quicker]

You suck

Some guys have all the luck.....

 

[LancelowDowell]

Looks good! What's the span? You're gonna have to do something about those tail feathers though... don't expect much 3d as it is now...

 

[TailTwister]

The tail is what made me guess Ohio RC. Most of the other companies, from some time back, had changed to a more freestyle tail. Ohio never got into the 3D planes. They stuck to a more true to scale set up.

Its a Lanier 300 1/3 I dunno if I wanna try and convert this big puppy to a 3d ship or not I would like to lighten it up some I think im gonna strip it down completly as it has been built for a while but never flown I think im gonna go ahead and use 4 servos on the wings lost a one big one to flutter already this year.

I dunno what covering too use thought about fabric kinda heavy tho May just use Ultra coat whadda ya think

The wing span is 102"

Flies good. I need to put new batteries in it before it goes up this spring. I have a Brison 5.8 in it. If you want to lighten it use Kavan wheels (4") carbon gear and carbon wing tube. I have single JR servos on the wings. You may have a free plane but you will have $$$$ if you have to buy servos and motor. I won't say what I paid but your motor alone will cost you more.
