Had to go to the LHS and buy some stuff, not a small feat in Houston around 6pm. The guy hooked me up, three standard servos, epoxy, CA, reciever/charge switch, and a prop for $72. The guy was a little peeved that I bought online, but agreed that the cheapest trainer he sold was $140. He'd seen me in there buying car stuff all the time anyway. Hour and a half round trip. Touched up the covering before I left. Only concern I have is the covering on the rudder. It was trimmed so closely that even when on low heat it shrunk back from leading edge. I wondering if I should try recovering it or just leave it as is. I don't want to get too far ahead and then figure out i should have done diffently. Heres a few picks of the rudder.
Ahhh, the old Tower Trainer! Thats what I learned on back in 96.
Only it wasnt an ARF then, they had a kit and then they came out with the RTC version. Anyway, I wouldnt worry about the covering shrinking back on the rudder. Put it together and dont look back! More then likley it will have all kinds of dents and dings and field repairs done to her by the time you graduate to another air frame anyway. Enjoy and welcome! [8D]
