Default RE: Precedent Hi-Boy

What exactly are you having a problem with? I built one some time ago but have built a few others since then so the memory is a bit dim! Tried to find the instructions the other day for someone else but seem to have lost them.

As I recall the wing is a foam core with some kind of ply skin. Mine had ailerons, however I believe there was also a three channel version that did not. Sounds like you may have the latter. Can't remember whether you need to glue a leading edge to the wing or whether it comes finished. Pretty sure I had to glue some balsa strips at the back to hinge the ailerons.

Otherwie the wing build should be straightforward, in the kit there should be one or more braces for the wing join. Remember to dry fit first. Think there are also a couple of balsa plates that need to be glued to the wing tips.

Tail surfaces I think are solid balsa so should present no major problem. Thought that mine came with a tank included in the kit, if you don't have one 8oz sounds about right.

Hope this helps
