These are the parts you will need beside the Whiplash-G II kit:
Engine: we recommend a 300 size (29.5ccm), balanced and optimized for use in helicopters.
Muffler: you can use the Zimmermann Whiplash edition muffler or the M-Studio pipe. The Zimmermann is made from stainless steel and makes little more power than the M-Studio. The M-Studio is about 100g less in weight. Most of our team pilots use the Zimmermann.
Blades: we recommend 710 to 720mm main blades. We have good experience with 716 Rail, 713 Switch, 720 MS-Composite and we have a special 710 MS-Composite which is optimized for the Whiplash gasser and turbine. 105mm tail blades work best.
Servos: you need servos which can handle the vibrations of a gas helicopter. Most experience we have with Futaba, some team pilots fly KST servos.
FBL: you can use the CGY760 (including a FASSTest receiver) or the new CGY755. For both FBLs you will need a separate receiver which can receive the FASST protocol and has a SBUS output. You can use the R7006SB or the R7108SB for example.
Governor: it is highly recommended to use a governor at a gas helicopter. The Futaba FBLs do include a very good governor. So you will not need any separate one. If you use a FBL without a governor or with a governor which cannot handle gas engines you can use the Futaba GY701 governor.
Receiver battery: any 2S LiPo / LiFe or 5S NiMh battery with at least 3500mAh
Switch: we recommend a high quality electronical switch like the Futaba P-FESW-1D. It is important to use high quality connectors which can handle the vibrations. The Futaba switch comes with deans connectors also for the battery.
