Well, the package came yesterday... I opened it up to find no instructions... Zero. Not one thing that tells me what to do with all this foam and plastic....

So, here's how far I am. This is kind of an informal, unofficial instruction manual. Anyone who has built this kit before, please feel free to fill in the blanks, add steps, etc...

Glue used in this construction is Elmer's Fix-All. It dries into a rubbery substance (easy to get off fingers), and smells like vinegar.

I like it. I've used it on a few polystyrene structures I built for fiberglass projects. It works like a dream on polystyrene and plastics.

Update: as of 11:30 tonight, I got the engine mounted in the forward-most position. I've heard it helps balance these planes out if you mount the engine in the foremost position thusly...

Anyway, I have everything mounted but electronics and the canopy... How did everyone mount their canopy? I'm thinking the reciever/reciever battery goes in that little canopy (I think Flyswatter or someone with a similar name told me to do that), so how could I mount that so that I can open it later and service the pieces inside?


Thanks, and enjoy the updated pics,
