Great Planes PT electric
ok i just crashed my EP cessna trainer.. I think it was a bad plane LOL... i just won this PT electric last night and crashed my cessna today.. 8x4 prop, T-600 Motor Dymond Delta Peack quick Charger, Jeti 35amp Speed control, and two brand new 7.2 volt battery packs... for $93 w/ s/h... hehe... anyways myquestions are .. i have never built a kit... other than ARF foam trainer.... its says i have to have 6' of covering... towerhobbies.com says i need Sealing Iron (TOPR2100), Heat Gun (TOPR2000), Iron Sock (TOPR2175) ... ill buy the sealing iron i guess but can i use a blow dryer instead of buying a heat gun? i think i may have a heat gun around here but prolly not for hobby use...

RE: Great Planes PT electric
the heat gun will turn out tempuratures in excess of 400 degrees. you will have a really hard time with the blow dryer and there is a really good chance that you will burn out the motor trying to get it hot enough

This is still "RE: Great Planes PT Electric", but, not the same thread.
I'm considering buying the, "PT-Electric", but, would like a bit of feedback from anyone who has any experience, good, bad, or ugly.
I have two electrics, already, a piece of junk & the other is a piece of junk. I shouldn't speak poorly of them, I have learned a lot about repairs, component placement, unleveled wings & vert. Stab & rear wings that are not 90 degrees & not correctly oriented to the fuse, etc.
Most of my crashes came from my being left handed & being forced to throw something with my right hand, that I am, for some reason, reluctant to let go of. By the way, are there any radio's with the controls reversed...... throttle on the right side, etc.?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Great Planes PT electric
Covering is not that hard some people really enjoy the covering part of building. I myself do it but don't care for it that much as for the tools I do all my covering with a iron I have a heat gun but never use it. Also you can use a baby sock for a iron cover does the same thing. Give it a try its much easier than you think. Hope this helps in your deceision to buy one.
