My Global SU26 50cc

[Andy J]

Not a build thread just a progress report, not done much yet.


Trial fit together at work


Originaly fitted S3152s for elevators.


Then changed my mind and decided on Hitec 5645MGs


Fuz structure


JC Area 51cc plus header and can

Glad to see the change of elevator servos there, had me worried or a sec till I saw the next piccy, lol

Andy - you must be part of the 50cc collection club that Steve's in ?

Only kidding Looks nice. Handy being able to assemble your models at work too huh

Had me going on those Futaba servo's aswell!!. Make sure you are running a 6v system on the Hi-tec's they will work much better.

The workshop/office at the back of the shop ain't big enough to swing a cat I assembled it for pics in the shop but I'm building it at home, that means sitting room and bedroom untill I get my workshop/shed sorted.

I'm running 2 x 5 cell 2000mah packs through a powerbox 12, some people would say that battery back up is not really necesary on a 50ccer but better safe than sorry and not much of a weight penalty over a single larger capacity pack.

Right so I've got Hitec 5645MGs on ailerons and elevators and 7955TG on rudder, what about throttle, I have 3 spare S3152s but I'm thinking petrol engines and carbonite type gears don't mix (vibration) am I better going for another 5645MG or is this a bit overkill?

Not sure what everyone uses, but i have always used 3001's and 148's on my 50cc petrol models for chokes and throttles, absolutey no problems to date.

Andy, if you can upgrade the 5645s on ailerons to 7985s you will really notice the difference. They make the roll start/stop much snappier

Overkill for the ailerons, your servos will be fine Andy. My Pilot RC Yak has S3050's on Ailerons and the Composite Sukhoi runs 3010's !
As for the throttle any standard servo will work fine or a mini digital servo ( as i have used) mounted on the motor box will do fine.
