Adjusted motor space from firewall at 112mm per the manual. Way too short once cowling was fitted. Had to move to 117mm to get proper spinner/fuselage spacing. Maybe because of the dimensions of the recommended motor from MRC. The Admiral GP5-770kv motor. But all is well.In the Hanger

My brother and I are contemplating getting the F-82 kit for our Dad. He worked on them during the Korean War. He's built some balsa wood models with us as we were growing up and is currently rebuilding an actual Citabria in his garage at the moment. How much of a challenge do you feel the F-82 might present for him? He doesn't have any experience with RC so far.

It's not a first, second or even a third model airplane for a rank beginner. It's been said many times in forums and magazines and Hobby Shops everywhere. Get him an honest-to-good trainer first. You can build the F-82... just hang it up on the ceiling until you truly know how to fly R/C. When you or he first flies a trainer, you will understand what I mean.Fly low, fly fast, turn left

MRC speak with forked tongue. This model requires 6 large servo's, not 4 as advertised.- Hitec D-645MW High Voltage High Torque Digital Metal Gear Servo Airplane Multi-Pack (4 Servos)
$154.99
2-aileron 2-rudder 2-elevator
Now I have to order 2 more to mount elevator. I don't think anyone actually looked at the instructions where on the front page it clearly shows 6 large servo's. Yes, I know, I should have known better. MRC, you need to change your required parts list.
After talking to HiTec re: HS-85BB Mighty Mini servo it has 3.5Kg-cm (49oz-in) @ 6.0volt
They were the ones that recommended this servo for this application and even with the longer arm feel that it is still overkill for the 1 of 3 flap surfaces. But I will continue to investigate.

The way I look at it is if I was building this from scratch what would I do. Thinking this is a fair size plane capable of some good speed. Critical surface, probably most critical. I do think that the micro probably has enough torque and speed but remember the larger servo gets you a larger mounting footprint and larger geartrain.
