Thanks for all the inputs on the SB.

Sorry I didn't get back on any of your suggestions but I had to run out of town on business.

1. I do happen to have an LA 15 laying around that I could use, I'll save the 25 for something else.
2. I was planning on using Econocoat on the plane, I think that'll be light enough for it. I'm not going to do anything fancy with the covering. I was just going to use the standard Bee design with different colors. I'm not artistic enough to make up anything really cool.
3. I'm going to use 2 servos in the wings, HS-81s. I got to like 2 servos instead of just one. I'll stick with the normal 81s instead of the MG to save weight.


This is only my second kit build, and I didn't fly the first one; just put it togethor to get a feel for how hard it would be. Do you use only CA for the build or do you use some epoxy also? The first one I built I did with quick CA and some 30 min epoxy. I may have over did it with the epoxy as I practially coated the fuse ribs where they contacted the sides.

Guess I better clean off the table in the garage to start framing up this baby. [8D]

Thanks everyone.
