Default RE: What tools/parts do I need?

im not sure of you thought of this or not but you need
(off the top of my head)
monokote or some form of covering film (2 rolls)
a heat gun AND a covering iron.....trust me its worth it to have both makes covering so much easier
a fuel tank (4 oz)
wheels (3 of them)
Wheel collars, these hold the wheels in place (unless you know how to solder...just solder a nut on the landing gear)
fuel tubeing
glow plugs (i would buy 2 more)
props i think a 9x4 is a good 25 prop?? not sure on that one (Master Air Screw props are great for beginners, they are hard to break)
super glue or wood glue....i recommend super glue to start with (medium ca) and wood glue later (cause its cheaper)
t pins
excto knife and 100 blades (you will prob use about 10 for each plane you build)
rubber bands
those are the parts you need to build the plane


to fly it you need a
glow ignitor
starter
fuel pump
and of course fuel
and i recommend getting help....makes it much easier and less expensive...tuneing the engines is hard when you have never used one but easy once you get the hang of it
