I have my 4*60 arf, my hitec eclipse 7 radio system, O.S. .91fs engine, glues and epoxy. Is there any thing else I need before I start? Thanks, Gene
You should also have some denatured alcohol for cleaning up excess epoxy or ca .
#11 blades for your hobby knife
sandpaper in assorted grits
lightweight filler (hobbico brand or in a pinch lightweight spackle )
Pushrods
hinges
wheels - mains (usually about 3" with a 5/32" hole ) and a tail wheel
wheel collars
servo extensions (I suggest a couple of 6", a couple of 12" and if you are going to use dual aileron servos, a couple of 18" )
A "Y" harness
If you are going to use dual aileron servos you will need another servo also
A motor mount for your engine
extra servo screws
6/32 socket head bolts (to fasten the motor mount to the firewall and the motor to the motor mount )
6/32 blind nuts
#6 washers
6/32 elastic stop nuts (the ones with the nylon insert in the center )
"T" pins
Clothspins - make sure you reverse some of them
Waxpaper to protect the plans. You can also use s plastic drop cloth (about 2 - 4 mils )
A building board - an old door supported on saw horses with some ceiling tile (Home Depot, Lowes, etc. ) on top of it so you can push the pins in.
A ruler. 12" is good, 18" or 24" is better. Plastic will do, but for longevity I would get a metal one.
A hard surface to cut on. The ideal surface is a piece of glass about 12" x 24"+ . If you get glass, get "double strength", or plate glass to minimize breakage.
A dremel tool ALWAYS comes in handy - cutoff discs, sanding wheels and drill bits.
Your covering
Covering iron
I AM CERTAIN there are other things, but that is all I can think of at the moment.
