    Hi, Any chance of a couple of pictures of the underside please? I'm interested to see how you mounted the wing servos and the aileron push-rods. Also keen to see your servo installation and how the tail push-rods exit at the rear. Was thinking about a Pull-Pull rudder myself. Might also fit a rod between the elevators as the 'twin rod' looks a real pain with the servo up-front. Thanks P.S. Would also like to see the completed model the right way up too

    Posted by Greybeard on 03/10/2012 15:47:36: I’ve a couple of point regarding the build of this kit that may help others following. I have installed my 4s 3700 mAh flight battery right up against the engine bulkhead even so the CofG is about 7mm behind the recommended position, this may suit me later but for the first flights I shall add nose lead to pull it forward to the “correct” position. I’ve build the model as a tail dragger so those keeping the tricycle undercarriage may avoid this problem. I needed to construct a motor mounting box of about 35mm to get the motor forward to the correct position, if I had thought about it a bit more I could have extended the battery position forward over this which would have alleviated the weight problem. I don’t know about you but I hate having to put lead nose weight in; yuk! The instruction photos for the aileron build are wrong as they suggest that the ribs should be fitted at 90 deg to the aileron leading edge whereas they need to be angled to align with the wing ribs. I had to fit 5mm balsa end caps and sand them to shape because I didn’t spot this early enough, which was annoying. You are not the only one. I too built mine at 90 deg. I then offered them up to the wing and kicked myself. I've been building a long time so 's*it happens'. Still can't bring myself to put an electric motor up-front. Just doesn't seem right

    Hi, Could I be cheeky and ask if someone could scan and mail me the same manual please? I have just purchased a new Mk1 and it has no manual. Just require the needle settings for running in. Thanks.

    I started one a few days ago. Built the wing already. Goes together so easily Mine will be nitro so will say no more in this thread other than "Enjoy". Cheers

    Hi Gents, I know this is an old thread but fingers crossed. The engine template is for a 2 Stroke. How are the 4 strokes best mounted. Cheers

    P.S . Can I ask what servos you used please?   2 Minis in the wing and 2 standards in the fus? My preference is JR (just a personal thing) but would be interested to know what others use.   Cheers

    Nice build!!   Just purchased one today. I normally fly large noisy nitro FW & Heli's but had a go with a mates Soarer the other day and loved it!!   Can I ask where you found the servo boxes?  They look just the thing for me as I want to do the same and install Flaperons.   Cheers  Edited By Nigel Bolger on 27/03/2010 23:06:17
