The new build
June 17, 2009June 17, 2009 Add comment0 comments RC Flying RC Flying

For my new project I will be building a GWS Slow Stick 400c.  I can't wait to get started.  Everything I ordered should be in tomorrow night and I'll get started on Saturday with the build.  Here is a list of things I purchased to get it started.

 

GWS Slow Stick 400c

GWS ICS480E/F Speed Control 15A 3.6-9.6V Futaba

R Power 6C 7.2V 1700mAh NiMH Battery

Futaba 6EX 2.4GHz transmitter

Futaba R617FS 2.4GHz 7 channel receiver

2-HS55 Submicro servos

 

The transmitter, receiver, and servos were delivered this morning and when I get home I'll take some pictures and post them in tomorrows blog.  The rest is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow night.  I can't wait. I picked this plane because it is a slow flyer and lends its self better to inexperienced flyers such as I.  With the equipment I bought it also lends it self to several upgrades, so when I have become comfortable flying this I can upgrade to a brushless motor and esc to get more power out of it.  Then when I am ready to jump to 4 channel flying I can purchase a wing kit for it to add ailerons as well.  This should be a fun build and a fun plane to fly. 

 

More updates to come.
