Default Update

hey ya'll...Im the guy who crashed my plane into a tree LOL (whoops) and posted on here about how to cover and whatnot...anywho just thought i would say its coming along nicely. I got the fuse and one of the wing fixed. Fixing my plane really makes me want to buy a kit and build a plane from scratch! I love seeing the progress that is being made. I'm just exited to get it done and just thought i would share with the group. Goin to the hobby shop this weekend to get covering and hoping to get it up in the air by next weekend! weather permtting.

Thanks for all the help guys

Midwest also makes the AeroStar in either KIT or arf and the instructions are some of the best on the market. midwestproducts.com for the kits -- falcon-trading for the ARF's. ENJOY !!! RED

Just got back from the hobby shop. To be honest they didnt seem to really have too many "intermediats" that caught my eye. They did have the sig 4 star 60...buts its an ARF and i want to try my hand in a kit. Other than that they had a lot of 1/4 scale planes. But i got what i needed. Goin with a red fuse with yellow accents... and i got some checkerd flag covering that im gunna put on the bottom of the wings...hope it comes out ok. Some of the guys at the shop gave me some advice. The most important one was to be patient! LOL which makes sense

Thanks for everyone on here that has helped with my covering questions...I'll let ya know how it turns out, and post pics if i can figure out how
