Default RE: Building my first ARF's.....(Advice)

well got them today and started working on the Mach II. First off, the wings went together pretty good.Had to sand the joiner a bit to make it fit. Still in this one area there was a space so I just used alot of epoxy. The space was probably the thickness of a piece of paper. I figured well close enough. Joining the wings sucked because I had no way of clamping them so I had to hold them for 30 minutes. Oh well, know what to get next time.

Couple of questions though, and one is a total newb question. They fuel tank has 3 pieces of pipe. All 3 different lengths. Which one do I use for each,fuel in, pressure, clunk? Sorry if it seeems stupid but the directions were a little sad. Also, do I bend the fuel in pipe? It looks like it is in the directions (I should say picture).

Two, will the epoxy be enough to hold the wings or should I put fiberglass on them? And do I have to cut the covering away to put it on, and do I go all the way around the wing or can I put a piece on each side?

Third, my wheels are not straight across from one another. Tried both wheels on each side and still the same. One is just a little farther ahead of the other one. I assume that this is the way it's supposed to be.

Well, thsts all I got done today. Doing the fuel tank(if I figure it out) and control surfaces tomorrow.
