Default RE: My beginner's plane - the Air Scout

I really do love your Air Scout, cwrr5. It came out very nice, wish mine came out as nicely as yours - but I guess mine came out OK considering it was my 1st model I covered to completion (minus the wing not being done yet).

I have completed the stripes on the left front fuselage side and am now working on the lettering for the left rear fuselage side - I am cutting the lettering out by hand with Monokote scraps I have laying around. I will post pics of the finished left side after the lettering is on.

Then its on to shaping and gluing the windshield and windows on.
cwrr5, what glue did you use to put yours on with?
[X(] I have printed out your steps above for attaching the windshield and I will be stealing your ideas of using the 2 liter soda bottle instead of the included stock in the kit [X(] - sorry!!!

I have decided to cover the wing last, I am still trying to configure a color scheme for it.

Still awhile yet before I can get the covering to complete my LT-40 wing.

I am awaiting to receive my tax refunds [sm=greedy.gif] so that I can purchase the covering needed for the LT-40 and the supplies needed to start my Mini Telemaster this Spring. I am wondering: with the Mini Telemaster being an electric plane can I use the radio system I already have, Futaba T4EXA, with the recommended S3004 servos???? Sorry for asking that question in this forum but the electric forum is not answering my questions.
If the answer is yes then I have to buy two Futaba flight packs as well. I am also going to start supplying my field box as well and I will need help on what supplies I should have in said box. I am also getting a CG stand for checking the balance of my models cause it's a pain in the butt to do that in the air with fingertips. I am also getting some building tools to help make my builds easier and I was wondering: Tower Hobbies has this tool that cuts out grooves for aileron torque rods and such (don't know the product name for it is exactly) but is that purchase worth the cash or, like others have told me, just use a sharpened piece of scrap brass rod.

Will post pics soon, see yah!!!
