Welcome to my build series of the Balsa USA Stingray RC plane kit. The Stingray 120 is a great trainer and sport rc plane with an 83-inch wingspan and powered by a DLE-20 RC gas rc plane engine. I will be using a Futaba transmitter system with Futaba or Hitec servos and receiver. This plane is designed for .80 to .90 2-stroke glow engines, .90 to 1.20 4-stroke glow engines, and 15cc to 30cc gas engines. I will be using basic techniques of building rc plane balsa kits (or at least the techniques I have learned to build rc planes).

All of these videos will be placed on a playlist.

In this video I show how to install HiTec HS-645MG ultra torque servos in the tail section for the rudder and elevator. I decided to install them flush mounted on the rear fuselage sides. I show how to make a servo mounting bay by cutting an opening in the fuselage and install mounting rails for the servos. This is not the only way to install a servo mounting bay, there are other methods, but this will work for this build. In my next video in this build series I will install similar servo mounting bays in the wings for the aileron servos.

I have been building, flying, crashing, modifying, and repairing radio control planes (RC Planes) for many years and enjoy sharing what I do with the radio control plane community, so I started RC Plane Tech channel for fun. I am not an expert, there are many different techniques when building radio control planes. A good way to learn about flying and building rc planes is to see what others are doing, that's what I do and that's why I like to share what I do.

Thanks for watching my channel. Hopefully you will find my videos a little interesting and perhaps fun to watch.
