Default RE: GP 60 Size Extra Build

StPeteFlyer,

I agree with Deadeye - The Great Planes instructions are very good. If you follow the instructions you won't have any problems. I have found only a couple of difficult steps. The first was getting the fuse sides to conform to the curved front end - I soaked em and still cracked one side. I fixed the crack with epoxy and sanded it down so it looks and is structually as sound as new, and the built up ailerons are a bit of a pain to build. Otherwise a very easy build.

Speaking of build - I mounted the vertical fin in place. As you can see in the picture, I get it all lined up 90 degrees to the horizontal stab and rubberband it in place so it doesn't move while the epoxy dries. It turned out perfect.
