Status: offline 		This is my first real kit build.. well balsa kit that I really want to finish. I am 15 years old and need any tips I can get.. build countless foamies and arfs but this is a first. I bought this kit a year ago but continued to shy towards arfs but now I think I am ready.

Status: offline 		Thanks! bending the balsa around the airframe.. the notches (kerfs) with wetting and bending make a nice curve.. will use epoxy to hold this on. is it ok if I post my build here? or would you rather I placed it somwhere else?

Status: offline 		still working on the fuse today taking my time. Soon I will need a hardware pack like the one you omp guys sell. Wheel axels would be a good addition though. maybe eeven fuel tubing.
