Thank you for your reply!  I'll check out the links which you have sent. However these kits are pretty expensive. Hopefully some other members have some unused kit that they wish to sell.

No way

You need standard servos (about 45 grams)

Hi, I found these servos on robu. Will any of these work?

1) https://robu.in/product/towerpro-mg945-digital-high-speed-servo-motor-standard-quality/
2) https://robu.in/product/towerpro-mg995-metal-gear-servo-motor/
3) https://robu.in/product/towerpro-mg995-servo-high-speed-digital-metal-gear-ball-bearing-torque-12kg-robot-arduino-good-quality180-degree-rotation/

The specifications certainly look alright

As for the repeatability ( the ability to centre back in the precise same position always) and the longevity, I can't comment as I haven't used them.

I have used these, and their performance has been satisfactory:

IMHO the best all-round budget servo is the HiTec HS 311. I have some that are 15 years old and still going strong

Why?

Asking just out of curiosity...

A 60" 40 size balsa airplane is widely considered the best way to learn to fly RC.
But it's expensive. Say 20k for airframe, engine/ prop/ tank, and 5k for servos and onboard battery.
And far more expensive in a crash than a foamie!

Pic 1 shows a typical 40 size trainer

But please also consider something like this White Yak12. (Pic 2)
I sold mine to Bessie on this forum.
I really miss it when I see videos of him flying it!

Hi Iyer sir,

I was recommended this engine size by Sanjay Rai sir that's why I am looking for it. He told me that a 40 size engine can be used in a lot of different size frames.  

Also where can I get a plane like a Yak12 or a 40" trainer? Also which engine should be used for both of them?

Thanking you in anticipation,

Adel

Also is the yak 12 made of balsa or foam?

Moulded foam ARF from RCBAZAAR. Had everything except radio and lipo.
Not available any more.

Not a single suitable model or engine in stock at either RCBazaar or RCDhamaka. Unfortunate.

I see. I am actually flying electric planes right now. That's why wanted to experiment with nitro planes. Do you know of anyone who might have a plane like the trainer which you sent a picture off for sale?

Have you tried them ?? https://www.aeromodelindia.com/product-category/model-aero-plane/radio-control-model-kit/

And https://www.sharmamodelaero.com/engine.htm

They are the same org.

I am trying to find some cheaper kits then the ones they are selling. RC Hyderabad had some good cheap kits but unfortunately now they have stopped making them.

I'd already suggested a kit from them in reply #2!

Our local pro makes a 40 size trainer in ply, balsa and depron.
Well finished and flies extremely well. Many of our local fliers learnt on one.
Doesn't have one ready, but can make one.
The problem is the cost. Rs 10k! For bare airframe.
Add 5-6k for servos, clunk tank, accessories etc, and 5-8k for engine.
So 20-25k excluding radio.

I bought my SoloStar (with 4 Futaba servos) from him for 12k ten years ago. At that time it was already about 10 years old. But I'm still flying it!

The price is the problem or else I would have bought the kit from Sharma Models. Nice to hear that you are still flying a 20 year old plane

ARF.
