RE: Help with Four Star .60 build.
No, the plans are accurate as drawn. I've built two and the third is awaiting the bench. Follow the instructions to the letter. Watch sheeting the center, no not get ahead of the instructions as it will cause you some trouble later. That is the only build issue I had.
I will tell you that you need to re-enforce the landing gear plate and the fuselage at the former at the TEof the wing. These are two weak areas that you need to fix.
Ialso suggest to use a Dubro Composite landing gear, and not use the blind nuts for the landing gear, but drill and tap four 10-24 holes matching the Dubro gear. Thin CA the treads and tap again.Use nylon screws.
There were some other mods I did that improved the plane but you don't have to do them. The above I consider must do's. When you get into the fuselage, post you progress and I'll dig out the old photos of the re-enforcements for you.
