Default Question about Quick Builds

Do you vacuum bag your foam cores on the quick build kits?

From there website www.aerotech-rcmodels.com

We will be offering a new service for our customers done right here. Our Quick Build Series for most all of our kits. We know how tight your time is but you still want a kit. The Quick Build Series consist of:

Wings:
Installing the phenolic tube, tube supports
Installing finished servo bays to fit your application
Sheeting the wings with probond
Cutting out and shaping the L.E., Aileron Double Bevel, T.E. and slotting for Kleet Hinges
Surfaces sanded ready for finish sanding
Root Caps done by builder so any sanding may be done to match the built fuselage.

Horizontal Stabs:
Installing the phenolic tube
Installing finished servo bays to fit your application
Sheeting the wing with probond
Cutting out and shaping the L.E., Aileron Double Bevel, T.E. and slotting for Kleet Hinges
Surfaces sanded ready for finish sanding
Root Caps done by builder so any sanding may be done to match the built fuselage.

Vertical/Rudder:
Sheeting the Vertical and rudder with probond
Cutting out and shaping the L.E., T.E. and slotting for Kleet Hinges
Surfaces sanded ready for finish sanding

The turtle Deck, Belly pan and Hatch for the fuselage can be done for an additional fee. When building the fuselage I like to let the builder do this for any tweaking he or she may want to do.

So we have taken the time consuming parts and have left you with approximately 10days of building and you’re ready to cover. We will be doing kit runs with this service and will post what month were doing what or you can email us for a list...

Prices are as follows:

Quick Build series Kits (price includes kit)

Default RE: Question about Quick Builds

could you tell us the price to go ahead and sheet the turtle deck, belly, and hatch please. I just ordered the big extra 300 midwing friday and may do this if its not to bad. I will give you guys a call but with myself never having done any sheeting I don't see how there would be a difference between you doing the sheeting and me, wouldn't they both wind up being the same shape as the foam core that was cut by you anyway? The only thought I have is maybe the sheeting overhang is usefull to have but is easily damaged in shiping? Looking forward to my first 40%er. Brent.
