Ok, here is the shopping list for anyone who needs it.
This model uses
5 servos because we added
flaps, which help a lot during landing. However, if you're better at landing than I am, you can save a little money by not using flaps and simply gluing them to the wing.
We currently have
4 servo options that can be used:
1st (my recommendation): ORBIT servo
– available at this link.
or
EMAX
ES3301 – available at this link.
EMAX
ES3302 – available at this link.
First, you will need
E6000 glue – available at this link.
You will use this glue to make the
hinges for all moving surfaces, including the
ailerons, flaps, and elevator.
You will also need
CA glue. I personally use
BSI-106 Medium CA – available at this link.
to glue all the cut parts together, join the wings, and assemble other sections of the model, including gluing the
carbon fiber spar inside the wing.
For my setup, I use a
2S 450mAh battery with a JST connector – available at this link.
along with a
voltage regulator to bring the voltage down to the range the servos use (
between 5V and 6V).

However, you can also use a
1S Dualsky 600mAh battery.
– available at this link.
Oh, and you will also need some
lead weight (or something similar) to place in the nose of the model in order to achieve the correct
CG (Center of Gravity).

Don’t worry — I will make a
build log on another page here so everyone can follow along with the assembly process. Everything is actually very simple to build.
Also, to make it easier, here is the shopping cart. Just open it, remove anything you don’t need, and you're good to go.
