RE: Stinger 2
Sorry I don't have pics with this post, but I made a bit more progress. This has to be one of the first ARF's I've put together where I actually used a lot of the hardware that was included. Most of it is standard size and looks like it should hold up well. All of my radio gear is in and working, tail section all done and working, wings done. I'm just waiting on a header pipe for my YS .63 so I can keep the muffler inside the cowl. I'd also note that this is also one of the first ARF's I have assembled that didn't need much fussing with to get the horizontal satb or vertical fin to line up correctly. I was going to try using the foam wheels that are included but I ran into the same problem as AJsToyz and the axle's being too short. The quick remedy is to get a pair of DuBro 2.5" wheels. I had a set, put them on and problem solved. The hubs on the DuBro wheels are a little narrower than the foam wheels that are supplied with the ARF. As I mentioned earlier, I cut the tank mount out and remounted it lower so I could put a larger, 10 oz, fuel tank in. I was trying to get this plane done so I could maiden it this Wednesday but that will get delayed until I get the exhaust header in.
