Default RE: Ultimate FX

When I first opened the kit it appeared to be one of the niftiest I had seen. Then I started the assembly process and encountered a number of problems.

Like Greatazboy's UIltimate the vertical was angled to the right. This was corrected with my heat gun while twisting the fuselage. Then I noticed that the cabane assembly was angled in the other direction This required removal of the cabane and re-installing it vertically.

I will not go into problems in mounting the wings with a hot glue gun as clearly instructed. The use of glue guns was universally condemed in postings in another Ultimate FX RCUniverse listing. In fact I not only had to shift to UHU "Creativ", a styrene safe product but the damage I did to the fuselage had to be repaired with balsa additions.

I suppose that I could do much better at building this model if I built another. We'll see how she flies!
