liamo333

Hi,

I have just built a fouriner rf4 glider and have just started to build an me 109 fighter (1050mm wingspan, glowfuel engin .I was was wondering what equiptment i would need for them both and how much it would cost. Thanks.

Do the plans show a servo in each wing, or a servo in middle of wing to do both sides?

"I have just built a fouriner rf4 glider "

Is this the ARC or west wings version. I looked into the ARC version (going at cost price in LHS)for a spare .38 engine I had at home, but decided against it and started a different project. As far as I can remember you had the option of 1 or 2 servos in the wing, go with 2 so you can use brakes/flaps.
I would also put something between a .39 - .50 up front......give you that extra power if you wish to fly arobatic.
What make ME 109 are you building.....

There Is A Servo In Both Wings On The Me 109

Me109 1050 wingspan:
2 x micro servos for the wings
1 x micro servo for the elevator
1 x micro servo for the rudder (that one is optional)

Westwings Fournier:
1 x micro servo for the elevator
1 x micro servo for the rudder
and only if you modify for ailerons: 1 x micro servo for wings

the me 109 is a rodel modell

Since it is the Rodel modell, standard servos would be ok, all though micro servos (as coolwings suggested) may keep the weight down. It all depends on how much room is provided for them.
You haven’t mentioned the make of you Fournier. If Westwings go with micro, if it’s the 2metre ARC version go with standard servos.
If you’re new to the flying model scene, you may find both particularly hard to fly unless you have someone to teach you.

Yes. It would be a good idea to have an instructor for first flights ... don't risk all that nice building effort.
Put the Fournier in the air first, and save the Me109 for later when you are better yourself.
