RE: Aquila AT01 ?
No, I did not epoxy the wing to the fuse. You would never be able to take it apart for transport if you did that. That's one thing you have to watch for with Nitro Models, their instructions aren't the best. They need a new translator. That's why I mentioned that this is not a biginners arf. Some things you just have to figure out for yourself. So, hopefully, you have a few arf's under your belt and just build this one as you see fit. Like the instructions said to use only one servo for the rudder and nose gear. But that would have made for some funny bends in the linkage. So, I used two servos and two channels on my radio to make that work. And instead of two servos for the elevators, I used two 440 rods, one bent to the other just before the servo and soldered together, for elevator control. And I took out their control linkage guide tubes, cut them out of the bulkhead and re-routed them so there was no bind in the middle. As you can see, they had them all in one bunch in the first bulkhead. That caused a lot if binding. Take them out, cut the bulkhead braces, put them back in with no braces, then make your own brace and glue them back to the bulkhead. I just took a picture, but I'll have to put it in the next post, as I don't want to re-type all this. Hope this helps. In the pic you can see the two elev. rods on the left soldered together and the rudder rod on the right.
Good luck-I think you'll like how it flys-but it's a lot more work than most arfs.
