Default Project 12i #9

Ya gotta go with the classic orange! This setup is surprisingly responsive. The servos are quite fast for being 25-30yrs old!

I finished setting up the power to the radio via a dropping diaode though an "orange" novak switch to the RX. The saying was, that the futaba's needed 2 diodes...and the novak's could get away with one. I come off of the positive side with diode to reduce voltage to the radio slightly from the higher 6 cell voltage. The stock AE radio harness for 12i had 2 diodes. Seems to work fine. Still have to figure out the rate trims for the radio...

Mounted up a Osella PA-9 from Stormer! Thanks to Stormer/Parma for the killer vintage body! The other choice if you can't find a TOJ. These are a little tougher as well.

And wings; another hard to find 12th scale part. I am going to use one of the Kawada's, it has the best shape for the Parma body. I had a graphite wing at one point but haven't seen one in quite sometime. Paramapleasemakesomemore
