CARF Bolt! Build thread
Well...it’s here 🙂 this is one of the very first production kits after the two Factory demonstrators that did such a lot of testing. There were quite a few lessons learnt on these airframes so the Bolt! could be released customer ready.
Its the most prefabricated model anyone has seen from CARF, they already made our lives pretty easy, but this one is another step forward.
Most of the fiddly jobs are done, the gear door system particularly is really sorted, using Electron retracts mean we know the gear is perfect and the bypass system is a breeze to install.
I’m clearing the decks and will start in earnest this weekend once the last equipment arrives.
I’m using a JetCat 220Rxi. Will fit MacGregor servos, Powerbox Mercury so we get some PB gyro figures for the manual, and I’ll use my Core radio.
few pics from the boxes.

Decided to start with the hated jobs, trimming the canopy, fit looks like its going to be easy. It comes with a tub, but I think Ill tint it like I usually do.

That would be an interesting little match.
We will equip the Honeycomb Bolt ( at Rocket Factory) with at Jets Munt 250 (M250XBL)....
Dave W.. will you have smoke system or without smoke ?

Too many visitors/tech calls today so not much progress. Canopy glass is in. Carbon join line tape needs cleaning down to match hatch thickness.
