Hey, what you do behind closed doors is your business, we don't need to know about you picking up a heavy dude.....

Oh man you're fast. I tried editing that quickly...LOL!

 

[Tony]

lmao

This one looks to be a good one.

[Tony]

Seems legit. Not sure on the wattage though. 8x more powerful than what? lol.

 

[bigone5500]

Got the pieces cut out. Now need to figure how they go.

 

[Tony]

Um, you were supposed to keep the fuse together. It should be one piece that folds together.

 

[bigone5500]

I got two more copies.

 

[Tony]

No need, you can tape those pieces back together.

 

[bigone5500]

This?

 

[Tony]

I will have to print out some plans and show you what I am talking about. It's hard to explain.

 

[bigone5500]

Those two look like they should be together to me. I'll work on it tomorrow. I'm tired.

I need to get some different foam board too. This black stuff looks cool but it will be hard to see the pencil lines on it. I'd like to find a case deal on some. Maybe it would be cheaper that way.

 

[Tony]

The black stuff also separates from the foam core really easily. And that piece you have folded goes from the top fo the fuse, the center is the windshield then down to the nose.

 

[Derek]

where did you get a 900 piece servo end kit? I'm very curious to know!

For planes like this, and most of my foamboard builds, I would never use any of that black foamboard. I've never had much success with it, whether it be the white foamboard with black paper or the black foamboard with black paper. My opinion, both suck for making planes. I use the foamboard sheets from the Dollar Tree or Dollar Store. I forget the brand name but it's $1 a sheet and it's great stuff! Once you get the patters traced out on the foamboard, cover both sides of the foam board with clear packing tape. The clear packing tape adds quite a bit of rigidity and a certain amount of water proofing. Pick up a roll, or three, of the packing tape while you are getting the foamboard.

man...i'd love to have that set of servo connectors but I have no idea how to shop Amazon Prime, lol. blissful ignorance, lol

 

[Tony]

I ordered mine off of ebay. Very cheap for something that is so handy to have when you need it lol.

 

[Derek]

...without a doubt! I've gotta have a big set of servo connectors. I use them alot!
