Did you know all those CD covers lying around your house can be put to good use other than just protecting your CDs? I found that it makes an excellent inexpensive set square guide for building your model airplanes. You can put as many set squares as you want as they are relatively cheap. Why buy tri-square from hardware shops when there are so many lying around your house? Moreover, I find them more user friendly and accurate then tri-squares. :

I see you started on your new fuselage so with the CD cases I guess you won't be building a banana again . So is this one gonna be mounted with an 049?

This time, if it rockets, it will not turn towards the green tree, It will rocket straight to the moon. |

Had my maiden today, it didn't rocket in spite of it crashing twice. Handing was smooth and responsive although the CG was a bit way back (at the spar). The engine was a bit weak, probably still new. The fuel tank was a bit small, nevertheless it gave me a good 5 minute run. Good thing I had the fuel filter on, I found dirt in it. I strongly recommend fuel filters to be used...especially if your tank is new, you never know what you left inside. Edited by Simon, Monday May 9 2011, 01:02 AM.
