Default E-FLIGHT KNOWS HOW TO DO IT

I ordered a eflight cap 232 bp last week at my LHS, it arrived on friday.While starting my assembly i noticed some of the struts in the wing were cracked i was devastated so looking forward to flying that weekend.So i sent an email to cust. support, thinking i was hosed because i already cut away the coating to install wing in fuse. To my amasement i recieved an email back today saying we're sorry, send us your address and we will ship you a new wing.No hassles the way it should be.Horizon Hobby and Eflight have to have some of the best service in the buisness.gotta love these guys!!!

Other then the crappy landing gear, the plane is a great flyer. I'm glad to hear horizon did the right thing.

Please....could you tell me if I should use the provided landing gear for the E-flight cap 232 or? Do you have any building tips? How is Gorilla glue in certain places? Thanks Capt,n[:-]

Hi, I have been using a Hot Glue Low Temp Gun on landing gear and around other places - sometimes just a little. The other glue I use on these electrics is "PACER" forjula 560 canopy glue (you have to waite over night for it to dry - it is tuff stuff. When the gear comes loose - hit it with the glue gun again. I try to stay away from hot glue and Gorilla.

I feel electrics are lightly build and don't need glue joints we use on 7 pound fuel planes.

Hope this Helps

Hey guys, I'm new here, a rooki too. Bought a Art-tech Cessna 182, built it properly, meaning almost everyting( also motor) was already installed.

I lanced the plane by hand several times ( on a high grass field), trottle 100% open but the plane goes down on about 5 meters.
What am I doing wrong? Somebody can advise me?

A would apreciate this.
