Default RE: CMP Hellcat

(it came with the ARF), I used that early in the set up to just get everything in it's proper spot.
It seems that's about all most of the hardware that comes with it is worth. Personally I like the E/Z link Great Planes has, they're much easier than z bends and as long as you install them right they're great. 60 size is the largest I've done though...

I was dreading the cutting of the Fuse but it wasn't bad. I got out my trusty iPod/ear muffs/safety glasses and dremel.

First I cut a rough outline, then with a cylindrical diamond bit, got as close as I could to the line. A little sanding and presto. Well, I thought it turned out pretty good.

The front former seems a little low but it matches the template. Seems about perfect for a 1/8th balsa "dashboard"

While I was inside messing around I noticed the firewall had a lot of epoxy on one side and none (that I could see) on the other. I will definitely add some!

Thanks Pappy
