Well, since the thread was Horizon - and cats. I unboxed my new Carbon Z Cub (year ago) and was programming the transmitter. The CZC has a battery compartment under a hatch - which is a big wedge of foam that occupies the place of part of the engine hood and the windscreen. I had set that beside me on top of the shipping carton. Our cats love boxes and they always help inspect the shipping cartons.

Things were moving along swimmingly until I noticed a little "crunch, crunch, crunch" sound beside me. There's Mooch, going to town with his molars well into the foam of the battery hatch. Grag frangen farbin gromick!!

Happily white glue mixed with shredded Kleenex and a overlay of waxed paper . . . followed by some Testors Acryl gray paint and it is undetectable . . . almost. If I ever get around to a little video camera I now have a place to mount it.

Thank you, Horizon/Flyzone, for selling small sub-components to your models.
