Thrust tube
Finally have received my kit and started putting it together.
Thanks for letting me borrow your scheme Dave Wilshere, I love it 😍
My kit has the wings and tail painted in the mold, but the fuse painted afterwards (so no seam).
And I'm impressed : the paint work is second to none. It would almost take a braille reader to detect a paint line on the fuse.
About the thrust tube : since it fits snugly in the tail cone, and the tail cone is what holds the tube in place at the rear, how do I cool the rear end of the plane?
Do cut some small vents in the tail cone to get some airflow going through the back end of the plane?
Biggest gripe so far: the predrilled holes for the rudder servo were off...it took me about 4 hours to get the servo in and the slot cut in the vertical stabiliser.
I came very close to just taking out the servo mount, and just starting over with properly centered holes.
