Hi everyone. With careful consideration and countless hours reading and research on HF and the otheRR site (wifey is now calling me a nerd!) I've decided to cannibalize my beatiful Vibe 50 and purchase an Intrepid.

My question(s) to everyone is that I'm going to be using my JR 8317's for cyclic and throttle (4). Does anyone foresee any problems with using these servos? Also, I'd like to use Raja's Jewel system. As I'm new to gassers, do I only need one Jewel to recharge the system? I'll be using either a Nimh or Nicd battery, possibly my 2300mah Nimh from the Vibe.

Third, I'd like to use an AR7100R because of the integrated gov. Does that rx have everything I need to run my bird? (I have a R921 rx which came with my JR9303 2.4).

Lastly, I'll probably use my 770 3D/8900G for the tail. I'm thinking of changing to the Solid G but not sure how the setup will work out. I haven't had any problems with the 770 but really like the Solid G so I may just go that way just because.

Right now I'm getting into FFF. No 3D yet but I plan to eventually with the Intrepid. I like the smoothness. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Alvin

8317's are probably going to be a little weak if you are going with the EB. The servos are only 83.5 Oz, not that strong. I would suggest that you go with some 8311's (125Oz) all around. My setup is 8311's all round with an 8611 on the collective servo.

AR7100R will work fine but you will have to turn off the rev limiter, as I'm not sure how that will work with a Gasoline engine instead of a Nitro engine. The 770/8900G will work really well. I have a Solid G with the 8900G servo on a Vibe 50 and I really do like the feeling of the gyro, it's a superb gyro that is very easy to setup.

Don't know much about the Jewel system, but with Nimh or Nicad I think you will be fine. The jewel system is a DC rectifier with a capacitor on to smooth out the ripple and I think he might also you a regulator. You will have to get in touch with Raja about the Jewel.

The jewel will work just fine with the battery you mentioned. I have a jewel that used to sit in my Intrepid, and it worked very well.
