1/4 scale Opel Rak

You're right, Fred... A model coming from east, very far east... In fact it will be a little bit the same problem as you: build a glider, and then try to motorize it with a rocket motor...

I just hope I won't verify the big bang theory!

So... what was your solution on the Rak???

Fred:
I see!  :D
So what are you preparing??  :D

For the Rak, the solution was so simple!
I used an old ESC for brushed motor!
Job done! You can light the fuses remotely. Basic, cheap, but wayyyy cheaper than the solutions I found on the net! (youcan buy modules that are programmable, to light all the fuses at the same time, or 2 by 2, etc etc, but cost of such module is about 100 euros or so (at the time)...

hey fred
was reading through this thread and was looking at the lay out of the model
did it take a lot of lead to get it to balance with such a small fuselage and two long aluminium booms and twin rudders, how many servo's do you have on the tail is it one elevator and two rudder ?


 :D

rogallo:
not a lot of lead and 3 servos :)

Fred:
Yeah, same as Ralph :)
I can't remember yhe amount of lead I put, but not a lot.
3 servos. 1 for the elevator, and 1 for each rudders :)
