Default RE: Assemblying First Foamy a complete Disaster!

ORIGINAL: splais

I got all that stuff, everything suppose to have to do these things. but I sure don't want to try something that will take more time than a 35% Yak and fit in the glove box of my car, so I talked an electric guy I know into doing it for me but this flatout requires what I consider to be a lot of constructing, you got to glue everything together, elevatorm rudder, fuselage, etc. But I think I just got frustrated having to actually try and o something "carefully".

PS: Spacey, why don't fly over here and finish my next one and I'll let you fly my QQ Yak Jeeeesh, you got more stuff than I do. PS, since last time we talked it is now 112 degrees, top that.

WOW! Steve I nearly sold all my models this morning when I read that to buy a ticket! Hehehee....I sure hope that one day in my lifetime I'll get a chance to fly one of those. Maybe you should visit the leccy dude when he is building your foamy to see what he does to try and prepare for the next one's build? You'll see they are super silly to put together and yes you have to keep in mind that you are 99% of the time not building a pattern ship and building straight is not always the end of the world. You're going to enjoy the foamy I am sure! It will be a welcome change from what you got in the hanger. Those temps sounds like thermal heaven if you ask me! We are still floating around the 70-90s and yes it's the middle of winter. Guess summer is going to make for a mess of high temps again this year. Keep us posted on the foamy progress! I actually have to build another shocky soon as well as my Protech Formula racer. My Protech Edge is the last one I've built and I must say the manufacturers are catching on with quicker construction methods and things are becoming easier every time.
