Default RE: 07 TopFlite Stinson build

Ok,, so I was given the Stinson. It was covered, servos and engine installed.

The down side..

Super Tiger 3000 ,, Never had one of these ever run properly

covering,, edge seals have no over lap, just cut with razor and is pulling up on the edges.

Flight controls don't move freely and bind on the frame not to mention limited throw due to fit of the hinge line

Missing parts such as wing struts and instructions.

I have bought a Saito 1.8 to power it.

80% with covering and controls repair.

Doors installed with my latches that spring load closed

Radio is standard futuba but will replace with High Torque servos for elev, rud.

I will fly this bird when it is flight ready.

has anyone installed struts and if so how did you do it. I will need them to be load bearing for spins.

Ya'll have fun. Jim
