Dave, you're absolutely right though. Discontinued in a year or two, and expensive bad batts. (E Flite)Comment

But that would mean it wasn't even a bag and certainly would fit over the wing unless you believed Shawn SpicerLOL Sorry, I slipped, BradOriginally posted by Sky Wolf View PostComment

I like servo covers actually, little extra security to me, but anyway how do you guys get the servo out clean, I seem to make a mess of it, what is the trick to removing a glued in servo without destroying the foam?? Can't wait for this bird, I mean hog to get here....
:Confused:;)Comment

One thing I want and like is plastic servo pockets. That allows the servo to sit in and can even be glued into the plastic servo pocket for security. When removed, it's good to go because the servo pocket is plastic. However, I'm just "so-so" about the servo pocket covers, the little plastic screwed on covers sometimes don't fit well and cause the servo to shift about in the pocket. That's just my experience on some of them, obviously not all of them. I'd just like to have plastic servo pockets and the servos glued in, but no covers on top of them. LOL LOL:Cool:Comment

Here's a simple cover for those that just want it add a surface that acts like a panel line as well. Can be cut to fit if needed. It's from the Freewing F-86, and is probably close to the needed color. And of course can be painted over. It's out of stock right now, but I'll probably pick up a few when back in stock.
What do you guys think?

This was just asked less than a month ago over on another thread and I can't remember which one it was to point you to it but I do remember them saying Ronson(Zippo) lighter fluid is the trick. ;)Originally posted by DCORSAIR View Post

Okay so a few questions to answer this morning!! Here we go!!
Yes, the rear fuse needs to be glued to the forward. While the screw pattern for the nacelles over laps the joint, there is NO WAY I would trust friction and two screws to hold the rear of the plane on!!
The wings are 29 1/4 long and 15 1/4 at the landing gear pod
The board is screwed to a plywood plate with 4 screws, and could be removed, but there is really no where else for it to go. The batteries have everything forward of it taken up, and the fuselage interior wall is right behind it(not that you would want to go any further back with it!!) I only had difficulty with the two end connectors, one is the light connector for the strobe on the tail, and the other is one of the elevators. I found that if I removed the one next to it and then plugged it in, it was easier to sandwich the removed connector between two others, than to try to get the end one in with the rest plugged in.
As far as removing glued in servos goes, I grab the edges of the servo body with a pair of channel locks, and gently twist until the glue joint breaks free. I wind up with two very small indentions at the edge of the servo hole, but that is the only damage I get. Also, instead of removing the servo lead tape that covers the wires, I will make a slit in it with my X-acto, remove the wire, hold the slit apart with a dental tool that I have as I place the new wire in, and then use "invisible" Scotch tape to cover the slit.
Hope I have covered everything for you guys!!
Happy Landings!Comment

I was planning on doing the maiden at lunch today, but the 15-30 winds moved in sooner than expected. They are not going to let up until maybe Sunday. So, she sits and waits for calmer skies!!Originally posted by RCjetdude View PostComment

I hear ya'. It is howling here as well not to far North of you.Originally posted by Kloverzero View PostComment

Michael, I guess I wasn't clear but I wasn't inquiring about moving the location of the board unless someone else did. I was only inquiring if it could easily be removed to make the plug connections then replaced since you mentioned it was difficult to get to for installing the plugs.Originally posted by Kloverzero View Post
Thanks for the responses!
