Default RE: Nitro Planes Hero 100 Version 2

The large one-piece fuselage was 68" long. Most of the colors and decals had been applied. I will, however, be modifying the color scheme to match the full-scale Cessna Citation that this design mostly mimics. More to come on the scale-up process.

The formers, retract bays, and servo/battery bay appeared to be intact but I recommend doing a full inspection for strength of adhesion to the fiberglass body. I typically use the aerospace grade epoxy called [link=http://www.bvmjets.com/Pages/Catalog/vpoxy.htm]Vpoxy[/link] from BVM Jets to ensure a quality bond between fiberglass and other materials like wood or plastic.

Note the addition of the nose wheel retract cutout and retract bay in the Version 2 kits.
