I'm guessing the same thing that happened to the upgraded struts that were supposed to have been here mid September and again mid November.

Can you remind me what those upgraded struts were supposed to be better at than the stock ones? I've long since forgotten about those.

TL nose strut to reduce or eliminate potential bounce on grass, Oleos for more scale appearance and possibly reduce/eliminate bounce on asphalt.

Here's how I store mine. Just uses the wing tube and some pipe insulation on the lower tail fins.

Thanks man! Motion has opened pre-orders for a big B-24 and say they will provide files to 3D print detailed cockpit and turret parts, so they are going down that road, which I think is great!:Cool:

Thats good to know.

Thank you! I use PanPastels, a fine powder available in many colors. I have a couple of grays, black, some browns etc. and apply them with paint brushes, Q-tips or whatever. It's a very easy way to weather and sealing with a topcoat isn't really necessary- once rubbed in (on an airframe for example) the effect isn't going anywhere.

Manolo.

Thank you for the kind words, Manolo. Our friends at Jet Hangar Hobbies have the pilot figure, you'll want the 1/10 scale guy.

would this be a good kit to get? Is this what your talking about?

No worry..........TJ planned ahead, he's got a door stop attached to the middle hinge ;)

[RCjetdude]

That little thing? I have never had much success with those things. Especially with my kids.

[Pogo]

Yeah, that's it. I didn't get that kit but it looks fine. You might want some browns too.
