Default RE: Hobbico Twinstar minibuildlog (Former: The urge for a twin.)

Just finished gluing the nacelles to the wing as you can see on the pics below.

flyalot: It seems that you have an older version than mine. Mine looks very good, the covering job is not too bad, but have to fix some bubbles and reatach some places. Also, there are no plastic tips for my version, so no need for me to change them.

Only problems so far are too short screws to attach the engine mounts to the firewalls (replaced screws with 4-40x7/8"), and the left nacelle was a little bit off. Oh, and there were only 8 CA-hinges included in the box, so I used pin hinges on rudder and elevator.

As soon as the glue for the nacelles has cured I''ll be starting radio installation!
