Hello Everyone
I just joined the forum...and am returning to model aeronautics since flying control line planes (and building balsa wood models) back in the 60s. Having to learn a lot (electronics, etc.), but love the idea of scratch building my first plane. While wondering what to build, I came across Flite Test...then came across Rahul Satur's build of the Slow Stick (May 26, 2014).
Decided to go for it; love the little plane since it's quick to build, inexpensive, and I just want to do it.
Here's where I need some insight.
He list's the following for a power system:
1) 2826 1900 KV brushless motor
2) 8 x 3.8 Slow flyer prop
3) 20 amps ESC
4) 9 gram servos x 3
5) 2S 1000 Mah Lipo
So, I ran over to Hobby King and looked these parts to order:
1. Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 2826-980 KV brushless motor
2. TGY Slow Fly Prop 8*3.8SF w/shaft adapters
3. HobbyKing 20A Blue Series Brushless Speed Controller
4. Turnigy TG9e 9g/1.5kg/0.10sec servos (3 of them)
5. Turnigy 1000mAh 2S 20C Lipo battery
Question 1. Is what I want to order, correct for what is suggested?
Question 2. If they are, do you have any suggestions for other vendors that would have these items, or comparable? (Hobby King notes that several of these items are backordered; I have no idea when they'll be received by be since I would have to get them from their International warehouse).
I haven't pulled the trigger on the Hobby King order yet; their site has been real hinky lately and I thought to ask around.
Would love your insights.
Thanks so much. Glad I found this forum.
