Question BH Mosquito.....which electric retracts?


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Gents,

I am putting together the twin electric Mosquito bomber from Black Horse models. Hobby People are the distributor.

I wish to replace the mechanical retracts and linkage with a set of the new electric retracts. Does anyone know which will work and/fit in the Mosquito?

Thanks,
DW_Crash

Look at the review on the Hobbypeople website. It shows how the two retract servos are put in behind each retract assembly.

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=910805

You have to cut out the piece of stock wood that is currently installed for the stock linkages.

Both servos must face the same direction to work off of a standard Y-cable. If you line them up right when you cut that stock piece of wood you can use the two outer pieces as "ears" for mounting the retract servos.. Might be good to put a piece of pine under each tab that is glued to the spar to add support to the servo.

Once I get mine in place I will post some pix under my build thread.

The 514 version from Hobbyking will be just too close to their max limit. Try the e-flite e-retracts.
