He may well point you at someone else - make another friend...

Ask your clubmates for help..... at least one will enjoy fixing stuff for/with you

Heavy... lard, as in fat

Eek! When I use GG on foam, I tend to prick holes in the surface to allow the glue to penetrate further - suppose it also gives the glue somewhere to expand into.

Hi Paul It's not my Hurricane, I was asking for a friend (who is now a forumite - payneib). Having said that, I think the VQ ones are a bit 'lardy' - so all information will, hopefully, be welcome. Cheers - have fun!

I know. I took the dogs out this morning, to be battered by hailstones ... 😞

I'd have lost patience and built a replacement myself 🙂 If you don't have the skills, or confidence, a clubmate is pretty much guaranteed to offer to help - one of the benefits of joining a club. You don't need it yet but the skills learnt will be useful.

I understand that but the DC3 in question is significantly bigger, and the thread mentions fatigue in the fuselage area - from general use I believe. I expect my models be flyable 12 months a year, and not have to leave them at home if the ground is too hard, too soft, or has too many worm casts. So I like a little robustness 🙂

Dismantling sounds sensible. Once you've gone solo, you WILL damage the Super Cub - we will help you resist the temptation to move on to another model rather than repair it...... When learning, I couldn't afford replacement models, so had to learn how to fix things. Skills acquired like this last a lifetime.

Getting the runways mown has been a nightmare.....

I suspect it's not very....... robust

I'd just leave them. When you go solo, you'll need to practice practice practice on the Super Cub until everything is second nature........... you shouldn't need anything else for months. I'd say the Super Cub will take you through this years flying. And you may take more care of it if there is nothing else ready to go....

Despite my yearning for a Hornet or Whirlwind, I'd be up for a simple, no retracts, Mossie, 4S LiPo powered - preferably of a size to allow hand launching with one hand.......

I've got small hands and don't find my TX16 to be overly large in use - the screen does take up a lot of space! You may also consider the smaller FrSky 'mini' Taranis transmitters. Whilst the set is only compatible with FrSky receivers, you can plug an iRange lite external mpm unit in the hack, allowing compatibility with loads of receivers, including DSM2 and DSMX. Not sure if the smaller Radiomaster sets are the same...

Yes, it is quite chunky!

If you're attracted by the size, Radiomaster do smaller radios in a traditional format......

I just can't get my head around the 'game controller' format.... 🙂

No, please post lots. Although I don't own any machine tools, and the language goes over my head, it's a fascinating read....

Keep up the progress Matty!

Tried some stripes on the white 'patch' I painted earlier.... the blue frog masking tape was fine, nice clean lines. The insulating tape pulled the tissue and paint off the film. I hadn't tried Rons trick of des-sticking the tape by adding fluff.

Sarik sell plan and article so may be worth contacting them?

No associated builld article or notes?

I think some people have had success using a primer specifically designed for plastic

Painless360 has some excellent content on Youtube to get you started on how to use OpenTX, the forerunner to EdgeTX
