I'm in the process of sheeting it right now. I'm making it more scale(making scale strut mounts, the corugated metal on the control surfaces ETC.) It is a Builders kit, I'm learning a lot, I'm 15 and It's my forth kit, My buddies say I'm doing the work of someone thats been building for as long as I am old. I'm even adding a scale cockpit with big cargo boxes in the back that will conceal my servos.
wish me luck!!!
Well if you're only 15 and you're building this beaver then my hat is off to you. I did one and it was the biggest piece of garbage I have ever seen and I have been doing this for 49 years. The wood and cutting was good but that's about it. I feel that no one should have to try and figure out what was in the designers head when he did it. Yes, Emil will answer your questions and that's good but don't disagree with the way he does something, don't ask how I know this.
His comment was to go and take some drafting classes, sorry but I have 2 years of drafting and said that the way he did things, well on this one kit made absolutely no sense, oh well, never will buy another one anyway.
