Default RE: help with first ARF

Hello Evil




I have put together two Tower Trainer .46's, Had a mid-air collision on one, and recently finished my ARF. Unfortunately, I do not have the dimensions for you, but I do agree that the hinges are TERRIBLE. All mine frayed even after extensive clearing of the hinge slots, I went to my local hobby shop and picked up some after market hinges that were very tough and went in like a hot knife through butter. I believe they were Great Planes hinges, white in color. Only a few bucks for a pack of 20 or something like that. I would call Hobbico and have them send you a replacemet joiner, easiest way to deal with it. Oh and dont forget to epoxy the wings together, i forgot that step and had to buy some extra straps. Although im sure it will be fine and it has 4 flights on it now with the current setup. Enjoy, its a great flying machine.
