I ran out of mono coat for my wings and i ordered some from PEI.
I really want to get this plane dune before Christmas.
so could i install the servos and reserver or would the unwrapped wings
affect the CG.

PS do you balance the plane with or with out fuel

Hi pt - perhaps this thread will help a little.

thanks steve

pt power,
While covering the plane WILL shift the CG, there's going to be very little change with just the wings left to do.

I'd install the servos and receiver to balance the plane (put the ailerons in place temporarily), then the battery pack can be used to fine tune. (Like it said in the other thread.)

Always balance with an empty tank. (If the tank is ahead of the CG.) Filling the tank will make the plane a little nose heavy, but that's better than getting tail heavy as you use the fuel! [&:]

Nice job on the plane, is that a Great Planes PT -40? Had one as my trainer and it sure looks like one.
Dennis-

yes it is and it easy to build i cant wate to get it up in the air.

another question is how
do you hold the reserver in the way
[:@] it said in the instructions doesn't work [X(]

I put mine in rapped in foam and hold it down with rubber bands. It don't take much to hold it in.

thanks rc outlaw think i saw somthing like that in a magizne

Is that a Thunder Tiger 61 Pro in you plane??? as it looks like the one that I have in my LT-40(a Thunder Tiger 61 Pro )
