  • I just ordered this same plane and it should arrive at my house tommorow. It will be my first balsa kit does it come with EVERYTHING???

  • @Blazin4185 I don't know what you mean by Everything?!? as far as the airframe, you'll need to buy wheels, hinge material of your choice and covering. It comes with no electronics at all. You'll also need all the building supplies. Let me know if you need a list of things you'll need and I'll see what I can do to help you. Happy Building! Paul

  • im building the same plane

  • @multicolor0 Awesome! How's the build going?

  • @paulliedotcom its going great, even though I am having some trouble mounting the motor

  • @multicolor0 if you go to the link on the video sidebar, you can see the pictures individually and you can see where I had to deviate from the plans to get the motor mount done. Their plans don't really cover the 'modern' brushless motor without a gearbox. Just make sure you're aligned properly and that the prop clears the cheeks and all will be good!

  • @paulliedotcom Thanks for the help. How did you bend the landing gear?

  • @multicolor0 ...I marked on the wire where the bends would be and did the bends in my vise mounted on my workbench. be careful to make sure that you keep it straight so it will lay flat after all the bends are made.

  • Wonderful!

    You made me recall my days as a brilliant model airplane.

    I loved my gliders.

    Congratulations!

  • @afonsomario Thank You! I hope to visit your city someday. Take Care!

  • Bennie Hill would be so proud. The covering looks great. When I was young we used tissue paper and Elmer's glue. Could not afford the good stuff. That wing will really make a world of difference.

  • @jauchiu Thanks! I too built a plane when I was young that used tissue paper as a covering! The covering was the thing I struggled with the most, it's why I put off covering the wing till last. :)

  • nice job looks like a fun plane to build can't wait to see a flying vid!

  • @frogs84ss Thanks! I can't wait to fly it! I still need to get a few more flights in with my MikeysRC trainer before the maiden of this plane.
