    RedwingRC 50cc 330sc Build Log!

    Ok here's a little tip I've learned through the years when using a template to drill holes in the firewall for the engine. Place the template in place and tape. Get a sharpie and hold and press down hard on the drill spots to let the marker bleed through. See below! Engine mounted...

    I still need to measure where distance to the opening of the cowl using this dle 55ra so I may need to get some custom stand offs anyway or cut out some wood for stand offs.

    So I have an issue and I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna deal with it yet. The stand offs are very close to the muffler which gets in the way of the bottom firewall. I could trim the firewall or get some custom stand offs to clear. I will upload a pic in a sec to show you guys what I mean.

    Drilled the cowl mounting holes. I used a qtip that I cut and got a sharpie to get the end all nice and black. Put the cowl on and whalla, I have my drill location! Worked like a charm!

    Vaseline on the hinges. Note: rough up hinges with sandpaper or a dremel before applying epoxy! It helps to adhere and creates a better bond! Both ailerons drying with tape holding in place! Now to the elevators!
