Juan, congrats on your new bird.  Your are going to enjoy this one.  I have included some links for build threads.  The model goes together easily, but there are a few improvement tips to be found.  Once example is to make the aileron and flap control arms longer.

Good servos to use are HS-81 or HS-82 in the wing, and HS-85 for the elevator and rudder.  An Eflite Pro 60 ESC using the internal BEC and programmed to 3 cells should work great.  A 7 channel Rx will allow you to adjust the flaps and ailerons separately and do differential, or you could "Y" these and just do a 5 channel Rx.

I also recommend clipping 3" extensions on the wing servos, and solder them into a Multiplex connector.  HH has them, and then it is just one plug to put the wing on.  I hard mount the female to the fuse, but I don't hard mount the male plug from the wing.

Good build threads:

This plane will be up for silent auction at Hobby Hangar, so go in and put up your bid on Saturday at HH.

This item has been donated to the silent auction to benefit the pediatric unit at Fair Oaks Hospital.  In the spirit of Christmas, I thought it was something I could do to "give a little back."    This is a great kit and retails for $270 without the extras. A $319 value.

HP-STUKA-35
Hyperion JU-87 Stuka G2 35e - Zs3025B-08 motor included

Wingspan: 1400 mm
Wing area: 34.5 dm2
Lenght: 1275 mm
Flying weight: 2.0 - 2.1 kg
Servos: 6 x Hyperion HP-DS16-FCD (two aileron, two flap, one rudder, one elevator) required
Motor: Hyperion Zs3025B-08 motor (included with kit)
Prop: 12x6 - 13x6.5 APC-E (included)
ESC: Hyperion Atlas 60A SBEC required
Lipo: Hyperion G3 3300 - 4200mAh 3S required

This is a complete RC set with a 27Mhz, Channel 2 transmitter and receiver with two servos.  It includes a drop module for dropping streamer bombs (included) or parachutes (included).  The combat module works with other XPort HobbyZone receivers to disable your opponent's throttle for 10 seconds.

This is a great setup for a simple foamie or trainer if you want to try the hobby without much expense.

$20 for the complete set.

The correct date for this year's night fly is Saturday, October 15, 2011.
Night operations begin at sunset until 11:30pm.

Here is the link to our Night Flyer information thread:

Night flying at Poplar Ford will begin at sunset and go until 11:30pm.  AMA Park flyer rules apply which mean:

1) Electric only aircraft (helicopters included)
2) Aircraft speed not to exceed 60 mph
3) Aircraft must remain in clear visible sight of pilot at all times
4) Aircraft weight to nominally be 32 ounces or less.

All other AMA safety rules apply.

I got the F-86 and it is a nice little EDF.  Setup is simple, and I was done in one evening.  The stock battery is actually not bad either.  I ordered Turnigy nanotech 25C 1600mah which worked well also.

There is a CG error in the manual.  The measurement should be 3.75" - 4" back from the wing joint.  Also, the aileron throws are too high.  85% travel is good for a high setting, and 55% for low.  I also use 55% expo on aileron and elevator, but this is personal preference.  Use 90% elevator for low rate.

I do not think a bigger battery is required.  Battery consumption for 6 minutes of fun flight (1/2 to full throttle) was less than 1300 mah.  So 5 minutes of sport flying will be easy on your batteries.

I did 10 laps of mock racing (full throttle straights with 2/3 throttle turns) and only burned 700 mah of my battery.  So a 1600 mah battery is a good size.

I also applied a piece of packing tape from tip to tail on the belly.  This made for smooth landings, and the foam did not even scratch!!  What a fun plane!

This sounds like a great event.  I am planning to go, and will know after Nats.  Flying and good food!?!  What's not to like?

For batteries, I really like the nanotech Turnigy Lipo.  They are well balanced cell-to-cell with a low internal resistance.  They are known to have a long cycle life and hold voltage very well under load.  They can easily be charged at 2C or more if needed.

The battery for the pylon racers are only $13 each.  I recommend folks get together and place a group order to share shipping.

I think we should post the official rules for the battery specs.  I would like to order my extra batteries soon, and the stock battery is not so good.

I recommend the following specs:

Cells:  3S
Capacity:  1500-1700 mah
C Rating: 20-30C continuous

Gary,
We can hook up sometime.  Sunday evening or Monday evening would be fine.  I will call to verify.

Who says jets aren't fun?  Here is a fast fly by of the Habu 32.  I used the Stryker to get me ready for the Habu, and there were no surprises.  The Stryker is an excellent "speed trainer" with no bad habits.
