Parkscale Models Component recommendation

[awoehler]

I picked up a Cub and Corsair from Park Scale Models and would like to hear what others have put in these for components. Has anyone on here ever built any of their whim series and what components did you uses.
I have both frysky and spektrum transmitters. I'd prefer to make it work with my frysky.

I built Zeke's Park Scale Models Mini Drake (which has the same D1811 motor recommendation) using this motor, esc, and servos

I haven't built any of the Whim series birds but I did build Zeke's Monocoupe 90A. The Monocoupe 90A turned out so well it may stay on permanent display and never fly even though all I have to do is take it outside! I'm THAT happy with it! I also have a few of Zeke's Cessna kits hoarded away for much later build.

I've also built many Mountain Models smaller kits. One thing I've learned with smaller aircraft is to adhere to the designer specs. The absolute worst thing you can do to a lightweight scale plane is to over power it. That 1811/Hurc 180 motor will seriously surprise you with its performance. HURC (Heads Up R/C) crew is the best there is online. Great prices, cheap shipping and tons of help if you ask. HURC is the best of the best.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give them a try with those components.
