Hello I have just recieved a Nitroplanes OV10 twin engine ARF kit and need your help with the basic "do this " advice that I need to do before flying and while building. I am an acomplished RC helicopter pilot and have built heli kits befor, but this is my first Plank. I have been busy researching the forums but I'm new to this forum and not very good at navigating it yet. I have heard of "fuel prooffing the bulkhead" but not sure how to or what to use for this. I know on a heli to go over EVERY nut and bolt even if it's ARF, so what should I do to my new plank kit? I have concerns over the joints being properly glued, should I go over them with CA or something else. And how, with a syrenge? One of the common grips about Nitroplanes is the crapy instructions. mine is no exception, they suck! So even the most basic help you can give me will prolly help,,,,,thanks very much for the help . I'm thinking aobut two AP 15 for power, will that be average performance or better than average? Maybe I should go with two 25"s?. Or is there an eletric "power house" set up that is better,,,,,

I suggest you read up here on Nitroplanes/Raidentech, Leave it in the box and return it. But on the other hand, the way they do business, your stuck with it. Let it be a lesson learned.
