Got a sweet deal on discontined model at a swap meet this weekend. It's an ARF Morris Balsa nova 40. No manual came with it. The guy that sold it to me said he would send it in the mail. I have most of the build figured out and it looks fairly easy. The on;y thing I cant figure out is an 18 inch wooden dowl that I'm certain is part of the wing joining procedure, but there are no marking or holes anywhere to be seen on the inside porttion of the wings where they join together. Guess I'll just have to wait on the manual to come in the mail. Was hoping that maybe someone here had put one together. Can't find the manual online anywhere. Lots of threads on the model, but very little info. Couple of folks at the ARF site have promised manuals as well. I guess I'm just anxious to fly.
What engine you gonna put on it?
I bought mine already built and it came with an OS .46 fx. I didn't get a manual either, but I love flying it, it does the best knife edge of all the planes I have. If I were building a new one I think I'd go with a .55. I'd also ditch the two piece main gear if you can and go with a one piece. It will help a little on rough landings. Hope you get it in the air soon and give us some pics!
