Good buy Simon. ;) Go through Franks electrical wiring though, he had different ideas to almost everyone else. I found that out on his Mustang 40 I grabbed a while ago. :lol:

No its not, this is for the new composite models that X-Tech now make

Simon's is a completely different model

Very unlikely that you will find any, but it should go together like any other model you have

If you get stuck, post a pic on here and I am sure someone will have the answer

Thanks.

The model is built, its the setting up of the ailerons, rudder and elevator i was thinking of.

Its the engine fuel system, electrics, radio and battery set up that's missing !!!

Has anyone got a rough plan of how the system of a petrol model should be, what i need to get etc

These are the starting points I use, I am sure others have their own preference but I have found this gives you a safe starting point

Ailerons - 16 - 18 degrees
Elevator 10 - 12 degrees
Rudder 20 degrees
C of G just forward of the center of the wing tube

Engine set up

Make sure you use tygon fuel tube, I use a three line set up, one to fill the tank, one to the engine and one vent line, you will then need a kill switch and a way off operating the choke, a simple push rod that you can reach through the cowl should do
