Default RE: BuckShot Quickie 25 Build

Thanks Vic. Hey the tin snips is a good idea. WISH YOU HAD TOLD ME EARLIER!!!

OK now you’re on the final stretch.

Finish up your build with aligning and drilling the wing bolts. Add the linkage. I’ve used 1/16 wire with carbon fiber rods for pushrods for the tail. Just make sure you have no flexing of this linkage. Install 4/40 blind mounting nuts for landing gear. Carefully position the radio gear where you have no binding of the linkages. Also protect the receiver with foam.

Balance the BuckShot at the location shown. This has proven to be the best starting point for balance. You may want to shift this point around after becoming familiar with the model’s flying.

Vic’s and John’s seemed to snap around the poles. Very quick and I swear they sped up in the turns!!! So here you have the BuckShot. A tough little bird and we have the carnage to prove it!!!!!

Again if you have any questions or suggestions about this build thread please chime in. We would like to hear from you!! Until then keep BANKING and YANKING!!!! And away from those killer poles[sm=lol.gif]
