I actually just tack the parts together when assembling the foam parts. The tabs lock everything together pretty tightly, so I just put a tack of thin CA where every tab is. It should soak in and set everything well.

As Seth said, it just comes from experience.

Looks great Louu, let us know how it goes!

GD it!!!!! I gotta have one now.......... Well, 2.......... I'm thinking of getting a printed one, as well as a WHITE one for custom painting!!!

DAMMIT you kids!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only two.

But I'll have new ones before ETOC!

If you really want to, you can actually take some of the GWS lite wheels (white S shaped spoked wheels) that come with some of Fancy Foam's other kits and actually take the skid and bend it inward towards the fuse, and slide a wheel on, then bend it back up vertically right after the wheel. This is if you really need wheels though.

Just a suggestion.

Seth

Mike, you may want to put wheels on it for carpet. I usually just throw and catch the plane, but the couple times I killed the battery at KIEF and had to land on the astroturf, the skids didn't incur any damage, but it won't exactly skid across that stuff.

Glad to see the first (literally Mike!) kits being built!

Pitviper51,
Sorry to change the subject here, but what APC prop are you running on your micro Suhkoi? How did you mount it to the prop shaft?
Thanks, Travis

not sure what APC prop he has, but i am running a GWS 5x43 and for mounting, i bought 4mm to 1mm wooden adapter and glued it in the hub of the prop and it threaded right onto the SU26 prop shaft.

yep thats the one. huge difference from stocker, and you get prop to ground clearance. the gws number is 5043. no work on mx2 today but i did get my goodies! dang this hacker is tiny and has some killer strong magnets. halloween stuff tomarrow to, so ill maybe get it working sunday, but i hope to get out and fly my qq yak.. gotta try before the waether really gets stupid .. tho from the ways it raining i may need floats hah.

RJ, i will paint on a SN# kit 1 onthe wing haha its kinda cool having the first of something in production run of corse. after looking at the close control rod attachment points, is a really long servo horn really needed? the 3114s have fairly long horns included.. and i want barn doors hahah
