Hi All,
I'm looking at what I need for the OV-10 Bronco EP that I got off Kieran and I've become a little confused about the choice of motors and props. The instruction manual is no help in this area as it simple states that I need 2 brushless motors and props to suit or 2 x 0.15 cu in glow motors.
After googling around the closest model that contains any info that I can find is here at www.Nitroplanes.com.au. I know it's not identical but it seems really close. That website recommends 2 x 400T motors and 8x6 props.
Does anyone know what would the be hobbyking equivilant of a 400t motor or how I can work out which one is the equiv? I had a look at hobbyking and the choice of motors is a little overwhelming.
Secondly, I was thinking maybe of using a 3 bladed prop to look more closer to the real one. Any idea on what an equivilant 3 bladed prop might be? Also, any idea where I can get them from as all the 3 bladed props at hobbyking seem to be on backorder.
Finally, I'm gonna need 6 servos. Any suggesiton for a digital servo that is any good but I'm not gonna have to take out a second morgage or sell my first born child to afford half-a-dozen of them?
Thanks all in advance
Mick
