After several years of building, assemblying and flying normal balsa planes I decided to get an electric foamy. I purchased a GP Cap 580 Flatout.

Basically I have pretty much ruined the plane without getting past the first page of instructions. These little things are a lot harder then they look if you don't have any experience with foam and CA. First off the instructions don't say a thing about oderless CA taking all the paint off the foam, so the part of the elevator I did manage to get glued is a mess.

In retrospect (I quit trying to assembly it) I think the problem is that you need to use a lot less glue then you think you do. But I'm going to have see if I can get one of the few electric guys in town to assemble this thing for me. Has anyone else had this problem with their first foamies, or is the flatout just one of the harder ones to do.

While I'm at it. Does anyone make a RTF 3D slow-flyer like the Flatout, but pretty much finished and ready to go.
