Thanks Bill. I appreciate all your work!
So, it would seem that my comments and concerns are justified in a way. It's good to know others have had similar issues with this kit.
As I stated earlier, you more experienced guys started in this hobby when you had to build everything from scratch pretty much. You probably looked forward to finding problems and then fixing them. But, guys like me don't expect that. We want everything to fit. We don't want to have to modify an expensive kit to get it to work... we're (I'm) lazy!
I have absolutely no problem following Step by Step instructions and gluing things together "that fit". I rather enjoy that. What I don't enjoy is having a kit that has been around for a few years, and nothing has been done to "improve" it. As an example, even Errol had trouble figuring out what type of servos and extensions to order. In one place it very specifically says to use a "retract servo". Directly across from that, on the same page, it says to use a regular metal servo.
Anyway, I have it just about put together. There is no place for air to flow out of this plane. There is nothing in the manual or the pictorial that talks about this. I am no modeler, but I know that things will get hot, and fast! Point in case, the Hellcat meltdown!
As always, I have learned something that I didn't know before starting this project. So, that's a good thing! I will stick with the RTFs, BNF, and PNPs in the future. I'll leave the modeling to the modelers! I truly admire your dedication and patience... I wish I had those traits!
