Hi again guys :D i fancy getting my hobbyzone mini super cub and parkzone p-51d mustang back up and running. i need a new fuse,tail piece, and wing for the mini cub. and a new fuse and magnetic battery hatch for the mustang. does anybody know where i can find everything im looking for in one shop? ive found spares, but they are not in the same shop, and buying them all in one shop will save me money on shipping, so all help is welcome thanks, Gibbo

my first plane was the hpbbyzone mini super cub... very good trainer in my eyes, i would suggest you go for the bigger one though as bigger planes are more stable in flight and easier to fly the only thing i would say, is get loads of spares, because if your a complete beginner... you will crash, and like me youll be doing loads of repair jobs :P hope this helps Gibbo

J1 phonix biplane (april 2012 free plan)
Alex Gibbs replied to Alex Gibbs's topic in RCM&E Plan Builders
ahh i see, just spotted something... are balsa strippers any good? -
hi guys, recieved my april issue this morning :P i really like the biplane inclluded in there thing is... ive looked at the parts and some of it i cant find anywhere on the net for instance, one of the parts is a 20x 4mm Trailing Edge. the closest i can find to that is 5x19mm another one is a 10x3mm balsa strip, and noone supplies 10mm wide strips its either 9mm or 12mm there are alot of these instances i have found, so my question is... should i buy parts just a little oversize and cut them down to size? (with great difficulty haha :P) or should i go for just under and keep with that and be a little off with the plan? im a first time plan builder, ive built a kit before but not from a plan and my school has a laser cutter so im going to try cut parts out on there :P any help/tips will be a treat :D thanks guys :D Gibbo Edited By Alex Gibbs on 05/03/2012 23:16:10
