John Bisset Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hello. I recently bought a second hand ST Beaver. Although I have downloaded the instruction manual, I don't see clearly how the wings can be removed. I gather that they 'snap' into place on the two 'wing lockers;' each side once the carbon wing rods are properly inserted through the cabin, but how are they removed? I'd rather not push or twist too firmly in case I damage something! I want to remove the wings as part of a general clean up and tweaking of the machine. Any help or advice welcomed! Regards, John B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian101 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 From memory, remove hatch on top of wing, undo the flap control rods from servo arm, turn over and press the 2 clear plastic tabs down on each wing. The clear tabs hook over the edge of the white plastic strip which is fixed onto the wing. Don't forget the servo wires! Clear as mud. Fantastic scale flying float plane in light winds with an easy 15 minutes on 2200 3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bisset Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thank you Ian, I shall try that. I have a WOT4 which I have flown on floats - foam, hotwire carved. Once I have got the hang of the Beaver on wheels I'd rather like to make up a set of floats to try out, so thank you both for the enthusiastic comments.

John Bisset Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Ah - one additional question. What paints are compatible with the foam used in these models,and what glues are compatible, please? I intend to do some light touch up and also may want to rebuild or reinforce a somewhat 'soft' rudder tip. I can use a fuselage floor hatch for careful trials of course, but I'm sure someone here will have worthwhile suggestions!

John Bisset Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 That looks lovely Tom. I presume that is the float set available for the kit - do the floats come with all the fittings? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
