So UPS dropped something off at the casa. Thread will be straight forward. Upon initial inspection I was impressed by the quality of the included hardware kit; Dubro, Hangar 9.

Build will be straight forward. I will be ordering up about the only thing lacking - prop and spinner. Motor is the ever reliable DA 50.

Can I shoot it????

[airborneSGT]

Depends on what you shoot it with. We will see how many tail touches I can do.

Power setup will consist of A123 on the RX and maybe on the ignition. Servos will be Power HD; they have proven themselves in my previous plane.

I will be running two more servos than on my previous setup so I estimate an average draw of like 300-400 mah per flight. This should give me about 4 flights before a recharge is required on my RX pack. This is really a safe estimate and leaning on me flying the plane much harder than usual.

So diving right into the build. The manual is straight forward but I thought I would throw in some experience from having built several bipes. They are really not anymore difficult to put together than a monoplane. Whats nice on this model is the hinging of the ailerons are done!

I begin in my case with gluing the wing halves together. The manual states to use some alcohol to clean up the excess epoxy/glue that gets on the wings. This is a great idea but I took it one step further. I used some blue painters tape to tape around the covering of both wing halves. I then used a razor to trim the tape so it would end exactly at each half. Doing so ensured any excess glue would end up on the tape and not the wings!

*NOTE*
The bottom wing has dihedral so make sure you orient the joiner and fit the bottom wings together. The top wing has no dihedral and fits together easily.
