Scratch-Built Whizard Completed!
Hey, you're right!! The landing gear was a pain in the cha-cha to bend!! It took me a long time to get it very close to being even, and it's still not perfect, but 99% is close enough.. Does the kit include a pre-bent one??
I have to say, After buying all the odds and ends needed to complete my scratch-built whizard, even with the pieces that I was able to make from balsa already in my scrap box, it still would have been cheaper to start out with the kit.. Assuming the kit includes the control horns and pushrods, landing gear skid and wheels and collers, etc. I don't know. If the kit doesn't include that stuff, the price might be close, but it still took a long time to trace all the pieces onto tracing paper and then cut them out.. I wonder, what is the quality of the pieces in the kit? Are they laser or die-cut? Even if they are die-cut, I heard that when thunder-tiger bought out Ace that tey re-tooled, so maybe the die-cut is a very good quality?? That might make the kit a fast assembling one.. Anyone got any input on this??
