RE: TT New Version Decathlon Build
Ok, here's some pics I took last night. I'm even more amazed than earlier. The fit of the parts, the way the whole thing is designed is incredible. I'd have to guess it was designed on 3D modeling software, laser cut, and all assembled on a jib. For example, the wing tube is just slightly firm to push into the fuse holes, and I didn't have to touch anything. That's as-is laser cut holes. Same thing in the wings. Tube is a slight slip fit. The tube ends inside butt up right against the end of the tubes in the wings. The side windows just pop right in, it'll be a snap to glue them in.
The only thing I had trouble with was cutting away the covering over the "spacers" that they put in where the tailfins go. It was a little tricky to find them.
Oh, and the manual is written in Engrish. The language isn't great, and the instructions are a little vague, but great pictures and professional looking otherwise. Not good for a 1st ARF kit, but definitely for your 2nd or 3rd you shouldn't have a problem. It's not much of an issue, I'm barely even paying attention to it, because everything just kinda fall into place.
