Django 2.5

[sctholson]

Wondering if anyone on the forum can share insight of what comes with the Django 2.5? I'm assuming there is a hardware kit, but what's in it? Are there any servo mounts in it, or are there any already mounted in the flaps or aileron positions? Pushrods? Rudder/Elevator servo trays? Motor mount?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Wow, I'm surprised no one has said anything here yet lol. Anyways here's what you get:

Elevator and Rudder Pushrods
Wing Joiner, Horizontal Tail Mount, Battery Tray/Ele/Rud Servo Mount
Flap and Elevator Servo Mounts (For KST X08H or similar), Stick on servo covers, 3D Printed Motor Mount (Watch your motor temps!), 6 Pin Connector Fuselage Mount
Control Horns.
Wing linkage hardware is not included.

Is there a suggester setup for the rudder, i bought one a year ago and i’m just getting around to doing the assembly, anxious to get it airborne.
Looking for cg location too.
Is there a build thread? That should cover any questions i might haver

Thx

Not sure what you are asking about the rudder. Here are the suggested setup for the model:

Basic model settings:
Aileron: -9mm / +13mm (in all modes)
Aileron in Butterfly: -10mm / +12mm (in all modes)
Elevator: +/- 6mm
Rudder: +/- 17mm

Brakes:
Flaps 70-90°, Aileron +10mm, Elevator Mixing -5mm

Subtrim flaps:
Speed +2mm, normal 0, thermals - 3 to max - 4mm

Subtrim aileron:
Speed +2, normal 0, thermals -2.5 to -3mm

Center of Gravity: 80mm

Specs:
Span: 2540mm
Length: 1420
Flight weight: 580-750g - depending on variant and equipment
Wing Area: 45.6 dm2

Jared, i'm a bit late in replying, have you started, finished this build? I do have some suggestions that improve the fit, though they have to be done prior to gluing in the wing connectors. Let me know, I will replay right away.

Decided to just upload and comment on this. Your mileage will vary, it's just how I did it.
img 5501 - I used a plastic sheet with epoxy colored black for all wing mounts
img 5516 - i found a carbon block like this was the most secure method to mounting the servos both flush and rigid. I tried wood mount, even with ca in the holes they wear and wiggle over time. carbon will not.
img 5518 and 5519 show the curve surfaces of the wing mounting surfaces. I found if I flattened the fusalage side the fit was better, the tape holding the wings worked better (prior to this, I needed to retape the wing if the landing was a bit firm)
img 5522 shows some of the sanding to see what I was trying to achieve. I found a lot of carbon here, so go for flat and good fit.
img 5537 is the rudder layout for the servo horn. those sideway v's is all I cut of the carbon and maybe some of the foam. I did this type of cut/fit with each servo horn on all surfaces. I did rough up the servo horn, and notch them slightly for increased grab, also after I cut the carbon of the v's in the image, I also removed the rest of the tape under the servo horn and sanded that as well.
Image 5558 is one of the wing surfaces and the servo hone sanded, notched, etc.
