I have dozens of flights on mine but went ahead and did an inspection today after reading about the possibility of the fuse splitting. I can see the concern. Luckily I didn't see any separation or beginning signs of stress. But as a precautionary, I first ca'd the joints. Then I installed some re-enforcing mesh tape and applied Foam tac over it. Rubbed it on. Should be okay.

I’ll post a pic of the material I used.

Hey guys! This is probably the best EDF out there. I've got about 15 flights on it now, and it's my new favorite. This plane flies great and it will do any aerobatic maneuver you throw at it. It's stable and quick. Really a home run with this plane.
if you're thinking about it, go for it. Can't be beat.

Here's a pic of the mesh tape I used. I think it's called Fibra tape. Seem to recall getting it at Ace hardware or Home Depot. It's got a mild sticky backing but not strong enough to hold anything. After first wicking in some thin CA to the joints, I cut and applied some strips of this tape to the inner and outer walls where these joints are located. I then rubbed-in some Foam tac all over the mesh with my finger. It's pretty darn secure IMO.Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39

+1 . It is for the money, that's for sure. Can't really go wrong. Got in a few flights today using the Admiral 6S 50C 5000mah. I do think she fly's a little better without the oil tank . Lots of nice comments from the peanut gallery

Hex? Do you have a set of small Allen wrenches for the grub screws ? I just grab a few and feel around for the one that fits. No order to it.

Can anyone shed some light on the hex size for the job?
The standard on these ARF's nowadays is metric. Even the US car manufactures are moving away from the SAE fasteners.
A good quality set of 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm and 4mm Allen/Hex drivers should do you.;)Warbird Charlie
