Sullivan Tail Wheel

I've got a Sullivan tail wheel bracket for my Mythos 50E, the tail bracket comes with a soft and hard spring.

Does anyone have any experience with this tail bracket on this size of model and can suggest which spring to use.

Many thanks,

Chris

Go for the hard one, the soft (thin spring ones) tend to bend and stay that way. Thick one is good for models up to 30cc

Thanks John, I'll do that. In the down time while waiting for the glue to dry on the Atlas, I've started putting the Mythos together, be forewarned, the servo cutouts are too small for the recommended servos, in the wings I had to lengthen then by about 3mm. And just had a fun hour trying to fit the servos in both halves of the elevator. But at least it's all hinged now and I don't have to suffer the CA fumes anymore.

On another note, what's the general consensus on using that braided sheathing for the servo leads, coming out of the Elevators and wings?

Not wanting to hijack the thread...

Aha! Another member joins the Sebart Club. I am new too Chris. Angel Evo S 50E

Feel Free to hijack, John's given me the advice I needed.

What made you decided on the Angel S over the Wind S and Mytho S?

What motor and ESC are you planning on running in it?

Angel S Evo? Because everyone else has one... :lol: Other than that maybe the price.

Running a SK3 5055 430Kv which is good for 5 to 8 cells, the latter giving 1750 watts possibly. I have plumped for 6 cells 5000maH which is showing (If I can remember correctly) 1350 watts on 16x8 and trying a 15x10, 1150 watts or thereabouts. Slightly heavier motor than the recomm Hacker A50-16 so the batt pack is all the way back on the tray.

looking forward to seeing if fly Phil, you really seem to be taken with pattern planes at the moment, but classic and modern.

Looks like you'll be running a motor with slightly higher KV than the recommended Hacker, but it looks like you had to go either higher or lower as there's not a straight equivalent.

I'm assuming you'll be using Hitec servos

The Hacker supposedly can swing 16 - 17 inchers so with my higher Kv of +70, I had to take a guess on prop sizes in the 15 to 16 range.

Hitec digitals metal gear high voltage HS5496MH for elevator/rudder. HS5685MH for ailerons. The latter, over the top power, will be replaced with 5496MH now they back in stock. No regulator in 'ere. Can run it on LiFe and LiPo for servos and receiver. Ready to go except finding a suitable position for the LIfe/Lipo pack

Hobbywing Pro 100 amp ESC because thta is all I had to hand. Might use the spare juice form the BEC to play music or flashing lights. :silly:
