Hey,

Thanks for posting up progress of your build-up, as I am very interested in getting started into building rc planes, however I have no idea how much work or what is involved and this is teaching me lots about the design and work involved...so thanks heaps! By the way, stupid question but what is epoxy? And earlier there were comments about wood glue turning yellow when it dries, can I ask, who cares? Isn't the plane getting like sheeting over the top anyway in various colours?

Anyway cheers for keeping the build up in great detail, it's teaching me heaps. Can I ask what sort of tools are used and how much are the tools, plane kits and that sort of stuff. I am looking at getting a trainer, and I would impress myself a lot more if I built one myself. Building one would also give me more time to save up for the radio gear...

Cheers,
Kendall

Kendall,
You might also want to check out the LT-40 build thread that I did about a year ago. I did the thread with the specific purpose of helping new builders get a start into building. I wanted to show them that building wasn't has hard as many seem to think it is.

Hope this helps

Thank you for your kind words kendall. I highly recommend checking out RCKen's LT-40 build:

HIS THREAD IS MUCH MUCH MORE INFORMATIVE THAN THIS ONE (although I am thrilled you like mine here). If you like this one you will love his. Do yourself a favor if you really wanna learn building and check out his LT-40 build.
