Lookilook AKA Nicos,

oh well,,nothing on ailerons or rudder.i quess i ll have to make some holes to prevent blistering as hot summer is approaching and temperatures of 38-42c are not very good for this...
I am pretty sure we all are going to do that, the hole does not need to be large, may be 1/16 to 1/8 inch. I would imagine that the hole would have to go through all the ribs.

of what i saw on the threads some people used heatblankets inside the fuselage and some covered the servo wires with aluminium foil. is this a must or depends from the engine?anybody did that.especially ziv, who has same weather temperatures as me?
Not sure if needed (better safe than sorry), but I used a 12 X15 (inch) piece of ceramic blanket and covered the top of the fuse from where the engine cover ends all the way to the second former. It is a bout 12 inches long and the 15 inch width covers the wing shelf where the servo wires run. I also used a piece long enough to cover the pipe all the way around to protect the second former and the elevator servos in the back.

has anybody changed the wood screws that the landing gear came with the hegagonal bolts and spike nuts(i dont know how to say it in english i hope you understand) that are included in the kit? i know keith posted this sometime at the beginning of THE thread thaT he did but i am wondering if the woodscrews do the job fine
Yes, the wood screws must be replaced with the supplied blind nuts and screws.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Mike
