Spring is here, you could have fooled me!

I guess no one can help. Was a bit of a long shot to be honest.

Or where they might be available from?

A long shot I know but does anyone have an access hatch come nose wheel mount For the A380 available as It is missing from the kit I purchased secondhand. Thanks in anticipation. Cliff

Nope, to cold for me!

Careful its addictive! Welcome

Mike, I remember the top decking being difficult to make fit at the rear end. I ended up cutting it in front of the fin and cutting the rear part in half along the top and fitting each part seperately.

Mike, As far as I can remember the tailplane is set at 0Deg incidence. I think this is set by the support plate which sits between the front and rear fin posts. I used foam safe epoxy for the wing joints. I could scan my instructions and message you a copy if it helps.

Mike, I have one of these. It was not the easiest kit I have ever built. The tail and elevator mechanism is a bit fiddly to say the least. I had to fit quite a bit of nose weight to get it to balance and I have the battery as far forward as I could get it. The end result looks good though and it flies really well and looks great in the air. Any help I can give please feel free to ask. Cliff.

Many thanks Denis

I have decided that this is a bit big and a bit beyond me so I have passed it on to a club member who was also interested in it. He is going to strip the covering completely and redo it. He has kindly said I can fly it sometimes when he has completed it. He is a well know modeller and has won some national contests so I have no doubt about his ability to sort it out. He is going to fit i/c engines so I have kept the motors and esc,s. One of which has already been used to convert my FW190 to electric which has now flown. The other one is going in my World Models Miss America Mustang.

Sorry about the inverted image.

Here are a couple of pics of my latest build, Its an old Titanic Airlines kit I bought at the Shuttleworth Mayfly. I will be fitting brushless power units.
