Good choice, the bare airframe kit is the only way to build these kits into well flying and reliable RC planes. The electronics otherwise included with these kits is garbage.
Not really you can order the model with everything in it or a bare airframe I just like puting my own things in this kit the electronics is good out of the box I just wanted to hop it up, Thanks for stopping by and visiting good luck on your choices..Tim
@TinkerManRC I have a Su47 ARF stock, no replaced servos. One of the rudder servos is not reliable as it does not re-center correctly. It's comparatively easy to replace, but it doesn't feel safe to fly. It can go at any time. So I have a 2nd Su47 airframe which I'm installing RCLander 4 cell engines and digital servos in. Better performance, higher reliability => mone enjoyable and durable plus true 3D performance. Gyros will make it more stable.
@TinkerManRC I understand now that HobbyLobby is not the same brand as the kit I have. The quality of HobbyLobby kits must be better than the Lanxiang Su47 kit I have. The airframe itself is excellent however and that's what I recommend. Buy the bare airframe only when it comes to Lanxiang kits (Bananahobby in the US). Sorry for the confusion. They do have a few awesome airframe designs, worth looking into. Blue skies!
Very nice plane, the vector thrust stuff looks cool. I like that you can switch it off in case you prefer to fly it without it ...(i really like your videos, good sound and picture quality). Im a little surprised that u can fly a plane that big and with an 70mm edf in it on a 3 cell lipo...took a look at ur follow up flight video too and it really seems to have plenty of power ...so good work on the setup Tim.
Great question I will be happy to answer. I slowed the servos down with the radio I have JR 9503 it has a feature in the programming to slow any servo that you choose.
I'd recommend a 4s set-up, the 3s won't give you enough power with the weight, especially with the thrust vector nozzle.... Good luck and let us know how she flys....
what size servos r u using? i would like to order one just like you did and put together. do i have a list of the electronics u prefer? thanxs so much, u r such a great help to all of us newbies
I'm using the Hobby city HXT 900 9GR Servo, Trunagy 80 amp servo from hobby city. E-flite 480 4800kv motor on 3 cell. BP hobbys 70mm fan unit. and that should do it.. thanks for the cool comment.
Great job Tim, Can't wait to see her in the air! What size mah batt. you runnin? I have had some 70 mm just suck up a 2200mah in no time. flight times may be limited. good luck with her though!!!
Well, I had these motors installed in my first F-14 tomcat and ran a 2250 30C and with that combo got good flight time about 5 Min,, But your right I will most likely use a 3000 30c,, Thanks for the cool comments Tom..
If you don't have the ability to mix on your Tx you can even fly it as a 5ch. It comes with 2 "Y" harnesses. Just "Y" the steering and rudder VT then "Y" the elevator and elevator VT. You just will not be able to turn off the VT. At least with the DX6i you can mix the elevator to a switch so you can turn it off on take offs and landings.
You can fly it on a DX6i, you don't have to a 7ch radio. You can "Y"harness the front steering and rudder Vectored thrust and mix the elevator/ VT to the mix switch. It flies just fine on 6ch.
@fillopygeesi I saw a guy who set it up with a futaba 6ex. He had it set up so his channel 6 put the nozzle on full up elevator so it could practically hover for a few seconds. So ya, you could set it up that way or just use a y harness.
