Great Planes .40 ~ .70 Ultimate Bipe

[Doozer]

All done with the kit except for the servo tray:










I've got about 180 pictures to go through. I'm not posting them all, but I have to decide which images I'm going to post and why. There are some things I think are worth mentioning.

I bought these servos for the wings:

FrSky D50SA 6.5g servo (mini)

These for the rudder, elevator and throttle:
Savox SV-0220MG

The main reason for the Savox on the tail and throttle is because FrSky doesn't make a standard servo yet, and because I'm using LiFe batteries for ignition and electronics. They charge beyond their rated 6.6V... 7.2V in the case of the Hyperion LiFe's that I'm using. I needed servos that could handle the extra voltage. The FrSky servos will handle up to 8.4V and the Savox will handle 7.4V (I've linked the specs).

Anyway, I'll post the rest of the build soon.

that plane is looking really good.
Almost makes me want to build another

I hear ya. This has been a lot of fun, and I'm thinking about my next one for sure. I think I'm going to build another Eva because I have the electronics, they are cheap, and I have the wing kits. But after that, I thought this looked pretty cool:


The kit is 84" wingspan and $340 dollars, doesn't come with gear, cowl, or canopy either. You have to buy those from other people.... So ....  not so sure if I can pull it off.

I've added more photos, but as I explained in the build post. I've got to get to school, and I'm FINALLY installing my new workbench in my man cave after I get home. I will do a build thread for it soon.
