Set-Up Notes: This rather large 92" wingspan A-26 will "fly around" with .46 size two-strokes or .52 size four-strokes, but it will not have good performance, and for an average pilot it will be somewhat overpowered with .61 two-strokes or .91 four-strokes which could cause damage to the airframe in flight. So, we recommend the mid-range of a 52 two-stoke or 70 four-stroke engine. If you are flying at an altitude of 5,000 feet or greater, we do recommend going up to the 61 two-stroke or 91 four-stroke for better performance in the thinner air.
Some noseweight will likely be required with glow engines, and up to 10-12 ounces will be required for electric configurations. However, on such a big plane, the weight is really not an issue - but as with all airplanes, the CG is important for proper flight performance.
For flight controls, good-quality ball-bearing servos are recommended. Due to the extra forces on the nosegear/rudder combination, a high-torque metal gear servo is recommend such as the 94162Z Airtronics Servo.
The retract control is a simple valve that can be controlled with a typical economy standard servo such as the 94102Z Airtronics Servo.
