GWS makes a set for foamies. I have them in my Formosa. I bought mine from Hobby Hobby. They were under $15.00.

Retreads
Yes, that is what I thought. I will look again. I am assembling the Formosa also. What do you use for a retract servo then?

Thanks

I have installed an HS81mg. I also modified the ailerons to have a single dedicated servo for each aileron. Due to the amount of servos in this plane I am going to be running a seperate receiver battery. Probably a 900mah 2S lipo with a voltage regulator to 6.0V.


Check out this thread for the ultimate formosa modification.

Wow,

Great photos on RC Groups of the conversions. I will use the Himax 2015-4100 and a C gearing. I am not sure what size prop is best flyingfor this combo?
