Hey Raf!! Good seeing you in California again!! Was really nice time there again this year! We come a long way to see you guys every year but i wouldnt miss it!!

There is a huge Facebook group with 1000's of pictures and builds with alot of information but Im going go start trying to post more information on here as i realize many people dont use facebook.

The EA line all come the same level of ARF.
The Fuel tank fittings will need to be glued on tank and the small back former will need to be glued on tank and youll have to glue in a blind nut to the wood former. I also glue blind nuts on the top fuel tank brace.. In the future we will be doing some of these steps.
The horns need to be glued in but the slots are already cut. We have gone back and forth on whether to install horns at factory but worry about damage in shipping. the horns are very large and can puncture other parts. plus gluing in them yourself helps fine tune the setup and positioning.
install the servos. there are servo pockets for every surface. drop in servo and screw in. I use #4 screws
install linkages.
install electron landing gear. 4 #6 wood screws per leg and your done. Electron landing gear are the best. little to no maintenance. plug and play
install turbine
install pipe on rail
plumb the tank, UAT, vent
install receiver
install wiring.
GO fly.
I built this Rogue in 2 days but normally i need a week of evenings. I even made this one with a nose door. adding lights can add several days too. The wire harness option can save several days works too i highly recommend it.
You have built alot of jets and these are nothing compared to what you've built. these are very quick ARF builds.
Heres pics I took while assembly of the Rogue.
