The Desire to Fly one started here with this Anwar Bhai's Thread http://www.rcindia.org/electric-power/precision-aerobatics-high-quality-arf-kits/

Santhosh & I started this going, (thanks Santa  :hatsoff:) and it took some 5-6 people carrying this across the globe to places where even Aerofundan wouldn't have thought his aeroplanes would go.

Anyways some more eye candy before we get to work

Today Did a nice long Wing Tip touch on the Dew wet grass while KEing, wish i had a camera person

nice photos,waiting for the videos of addy x, now i know why you selected the green one   :salute:

rcpilotacro

1.  Reinforce the motor mount with diluted Titebond, Brush it in the nook and crannies of the mount (Do not overdo it either, remember as far as addy x is concerned it is all about weight)

2.  Dry fit the mount including the pins , do not force it, if it doesnt fit sand the fuse side hole a little. see it fits.

3.  Be careful of fitting the CF pins, in the box itself they are in small pieces , so while opening the cover be careful, do not drop one.

1. Cut out the cooling air vent as shown. cut extra and iron the rest, 150 deg setting on the iron is good.

2. Cut out the servo tray cover, likewise , cut a little extra and iron it.

3.  CA the anti rotation pin , after it is dry sand it slightly

4. Iron the entire airplane esp tailplane

rcpilotacro

1.  Cut out the Tailplane Covering and iron it, in the similar manner as said before

2.  Cut out the tailplane wooden slot as shown

3.  Keep the piece, after sliding in the tailplane you'll have to refix it back (I did not use the stock wooden piece i used the same cut out portion because the stock doesn't have any colour

4.  The slot for hinges are laser marked so it is really easy, remember , there are two sizes of hinges, smaller ones are for ailerons, bigger ones are for elevator and rudder. unlike Chinese kits, in these kits there are no extra hardware available so it is best to lay it out and decide
