Default Kit question

Hi,

Yes, it's possible, but not too practical. You can get through about 85% of the construction without it making a difference whether or not you have the other components, but then it becomes more difficult after that. The servo mounts, for example, need to be trimmed out, depending on the size of the servos you plan to use. If they're already installed, then it's tougher to trim the plates. It's also harder to drill the landing gear plates once they're inside the fuse, and it's more practical to have the gear units, instead of a template, for drilling accuracy. It can be done, though. That plane has been sold a few times to people who only intended to use them for static display, but I only know of one who later flew it. Hope this helps.
