Phil E Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Cheers Stephen, Part of the attraction of the Harvard was the price so I might have a rethink as to my next project. Can't decide between the P40 and the FW190! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Grigg Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hi Austin I put a white one together in a rush,really enjoyed the way it flies so decided to take my time with a better build with the yellow one.Trouble is when I start building I tend to rush things or get to much glue on, so im trying to ease back not going as planned to be honest but no majoe problem that will notice.Im surprised how well they fly, very stable and resposive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Grigg Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 It was all going very well last night when it all went dreadfully wrong when gluing the elevator hinges though I better stop.To catch up I was going to glue the hinges this morning and leave them for the day.Id left pins in for the hing centres ,carefully pulled them out taking half the elevator with them.So left this morning with the elevator re glued together,ill have another go when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Managed to sort out last night and this mornings problems and fitted the U/C,the battery cover tail wheel cowl clips,left everything to dry over night.Tomorrow should see the rear end completed and the elevator and rudder servos fitted.
