A while back I purchased my Phoenix Spitfire MKII 60 a few months ago on a special from Tower Hobbies. Today I ordered the parts I need.
I plan on using Tactic TSX-47 Digital metal gear servos on ailerons, rudder, elevator and throttle. I saved $50 by using Hitec HS-485HB karbonite gear servos on the flaps that I have on hand. I prefer metal gears on my gassers, but I think this is safe and appropriate.
I will use the RCGF 10cc gas engine, the newest one with attached carb and a choke, and attach a mini-tachometer. It will have a 4 20cc gas tank. It will have an RC EXCEL optical remote cut-off I install on all my gassers. I will install a Star dual power switch, and Kazu fuel dot and vent. I purchased two 6V NIMH reciever/ignition packs from Hobbyking. I plan to use a Master Airscrew 13x8 3 blade prop I have on hand, and ordered a Dubro 3 blade 3 inch Spinner.
I had purchased electric landing gear retracts from HK as well. I bought them as a pair, but can't find them. They weren't very expensive, I think less than $20 a pair. I just don't trust mechanical retracts.
The parts will start to arrive over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
