    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    I want to try something... If a fuse shortkit can be done it'll be great. My problem ist that the size of the bits of what's left from the front of the fuselage may be a problem to start creating a shortkit. I'll have a phone call tomorrow that will help me to know what's possible and what i...

    Thanks for the reply ;-) I will have to find another solution to modifiy the landing gear for the canister. The entry tube of the canister is just in front of the fixed part holding the tubes with the springs. I need to make it as quiet as possible, because all our RC fields in France are...
