Dave’s version of the WWII ME163 has put a smile on the face of a lot of slope pilots, especially those that want a hard hitting combat model. It’s easy and fast to build and fly. Best of all it only requires two standard sized servos mounted in the wing.
This is a docile flying model that a pilot with very modest flying skills can handle but in the hands of an experienced pilot it can turn fast, knife edge well, fly inverted and if combat is your thing it will impress you with it’s ability to kill and recover.
Since its’ introduction nearly fifteen years ago there have been many improvements in RC radio equipment. Here’s what we suggest for setting up this model:
Transmitter: Any TX that has elevon mixing, dual rates (exponential is a nice option but not required to enjoy this model) The Hitec Flash and Optics are two good choices but JR, Futaba, Airtronics and Multiplex all have similar models that are equally well suited for this plane. You could also use a basic, non-computer 4 channel transmitter with the addition of an inexpensive elevon mixer available at most hobby shops.
Receiver choices: Berg 4 channel Microstamp or Hitec Micro 05s
Servos: Hitec 322HD
Battery: Any flat pack Nicad or NiMh 600 Mah or higher
