Well I got started on mine Sunday as well. I took it real easy on the checkerboard covering, but it does seem to want to come off pertty easy. I'm sure I would have made it alot worse if I was not told about it first. Thanks MikeL.
Mine has come along very well and real easy so far. All I need to do now is cut my pilot down to fit, install the servos - waiting on them to get here by mail-, and install the motor. I have not got the motor yet.
If this plane flys half as well as it goes together I don't think anyone will have to work the controls on the radio. I will give this ARF a A+++++++++++ on how well get goes together.
Oh yea, I still need to do the smoke system
