Status: online 		Ragz just put it together
Most of the wood parts like the servo trays etc are already done you just have to glue them in
There is one wooden structure where the nose gear servo goes in the centre of the fuse
The Stab is stuck on with aeropoxy on the saddle, fin is stuck on to of that with a tongue
Elev servo tray is already mounted
Elev pushrod is a carbon arrowshaft tube with 3mm end for the clevis (like the Dave Bown Pushrods)
Its very elementary you cant go wrong
I would have put it together for you alongwith mine but I need to get the bandits off my work bench

Like mentioned above, it is an extremly easy jet to finish. If you did a Bandit arf, this will look like a RTF!!!! The CG is spot on, and the throws are perfect for most flyers. We flow it at Top Gun and Ali loved it!!!

If you are using a big engine (20lbs+) install the speed brake!

If you have any Q's, PM me or B777...

What engine are you using????

Status: offline 		Just got mine today and am very pleased. I actually had the balsa/ply kit in hand and changed my mind before starting the build and was able to put the money toward the composite. After seeing it sitting on my workbench this afternoon I do not regret my decision. I was just talking to Bruce Tharpe to let him know it got here and he is starting to post instructions on his web site as he does a build. He will eventually have a complete build manual for this bird. Never built a jet before but everything looks straight forward to me. I will need some kind of picture when it comes down to the turbine install itself and of course there is a whole new ball of wax to learn about as far as turbine operation but that is a bit down the road for me. Everyhthing else should be simular to putting any kind of big bird together. Make sure its strong, straight, isn't binding and won't fall off or rattle around in flight!

At this time, you may call Bruce in the US or email PST. They are about 14 hrs AHEAD of us, so take that into your consideration.

I have many pics from the prototype that we flew in Thailand, but my PC is down now. once fixed, I'll post some pics to help out till the official manual is out... Again, very easy to finish. The turbine simply bolts on, the angle, we found out, is very close perfect at most throttle settings. If you like knife edge, get as much rudder as you can...it will do it ok for its design!

Status: offline 		Ok guys, lots of action on this thread. Good. I opened up the nicely packed box and was very happy with the quality of the kit. Looks very strong indeed. The finish is pretty much right up there with the big boys. I intend to use a spare p120 that I have. I will use 8411's all around as I have a few extra with me. Yes, the plane seems very simple to put together. I only wanted the instructions to make sure the workflow is correct. For example, at what stage should I bolt the nose to the main fuse? With no workflow, it will take a little extra time thats all. I plan to keep this plane simple and light, although I will like to have a smoke system on it. I dont think it needs a powerbox or anything similar? Any suggestions? Lets see, 4 servos on the wings, all 8411's. One rudder and one elevator, making it 6 8411's. Nose steering, and valves will have analog servos. One thing I notices is the way the wings mount the fuse. Are we meant to glue the two halves? I have not fully inspected the kit yet but it seems like PST is going to sell a lot of these.
