I was right about me getting a GP Cherokee for christmas. [8D] I do have some questions:
1. can I use just a heat gun to get the wringles out of the covering?
2. The manuel suggests a O.S. 46 AX ABL;how will it fly with that engine or is there a better engine out there?
3. What about that bag of screws[X(]; I guess what I have to do; is seperate all the screws and see how many time the manuel calls for a certain screw.
and RCKen; in your review; I try to see how you did the refuel line at the bottom; can you explain how you did that. I would like to see a pic from the inside if thats not a problem.
1: it is best to use an iron first and seal down the edges and seams. Going right to the heat gun may tighten the covering resulting in it pulling away from the edges.
2: OS 46AX is a dynamite engine. Reports are that it is enough of an engine to fly the plane very well. Another option is the 55AX which is more power but probably not needed on that plane. Many people like lots of extra power and would prefer the 55. If it were me I'd get the 55.
3: not sure what you mean about the bag of screws. can you measure them with a ruler? there even may be a paper ruler in the manual. they should call for specific size and style screws in assembly.
