380 should work, use a 5x4 or 6x3 prop.

Re: SE5A
hi mate.
many thanks.
I made a mistake with the weight hahaha, forgot it was '% of lb' so looks like maybe 8onz all up, with battery etc.
about servos, I have ordered some 4gm servo but have some 9gm, would the 4gm be strong enough for elev and rudder.....not put ail on this one.
first plane for about 35 years

Re: SE5A
Not sure about the 4gm servos, but i have used the 5gm hk servos in similar size builds without any problems. Only one way to find out I guess

Re: SE5A
Hi Sunk,
good one.....
dont worry, 4gm servo will definitely work, even u can try 3.7gm. i used 4.3 gm servo in my 20" model!!! without any problem...
abt 380 motor, i dont hav any idea abt this motor, but i used 11gm 1811 1600Kv motor from HK for my build if ur weight is around 200+ gms then try 16gm motor from HK...
keep posted
cheers

Just for the info of all concerned, the Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5A (Scout Experimental 5) Scout was a fighter that excelled in World War 1. Here is what it looked like.

Re: SE5A
Nice info and beautiful plane.
From this picture it looks like it would be a challenge to make it so light.

Re: SE5A
hi SunLikeStar.
to weigh it I put all the peices in a plastic carrier with the 2c battery and motor.
all that is missing is 2 possibly 4gm servos and esc and prop and under-carriage so the weight could be nearer 14onz at the finish.
under-carriage..... not sure what to use yet.........I have some 3/4 inch diameter wheels, but think really it could do with bigger light weight wheels??
