We added M3 to my first one and already had to same thoughts for those flimsy rods you did if she didn't burn in lol! This next one is getting them though and some more upgrades. We have a love for modifying things. Thanks for sharing and have a great rest of your week! -Che & Ashley H.
Don't own one, this being the first video I've seen if the sweep mechanism. I'm very surprised at the size of the servos used to sweep the wings. Looks like a standard 9 gram servo. I would have thought a larger one was needed. Thanks for the video
@@Hype_RC oh right. Thanks for that. Still a lot smaller than I thought was needed. I'm building a scratch drawn model at the moment. 1/12 F111. I chose a 80kg standard size, direct drive servo for the swing mechanism. Seeing this says I've probably over done it. LoL 🤣. Thanks for the reply
Good luck with the build! I think the lack of size is a weight fit and cost thing. Models are overpriced but, the alternative is unacceptable. So I support these companies hoping they’ll stay around
@@Hype_RC yup, totally agree. I'm in New Zealand. It's hard getting hobby parts here, if you can find them online, shipping costs and import tax just adds to the cost.
I need to add an addendum to this video and mention that the ball links used are NOT Dubro #860. The DuBro #860 ball links will have a larger screw than the one used in this video. It is an SAE standard US screw and according to the FB post it is mentioned to drill out the attachment points with a 5/64 drill bit. Also you can use a smaller outside diameter carbon rod. I just had the 5mm in my stock which worked out for my modification.
