To be honest, I never used it, I just epoxied the motor mount on and haven't needed the instructions for anything else

Will have to use it at some point to try and find out what throws to use

Looking great Chris, I hope you've enjoyed the build so far.

In the description it says is has 'magnetic secured wing joiner' have you got that far yet, and if so how does this work?

Very simple idea, you glue a magnet in the brass tubes in the wings, and then the wing tube is a steel rod

That makes sense.

Any chance of a photo of the motor box. I'm assuming you build it with the motor in place?

Thanks Chris, I'm looking forward to seeing your choice of covering colour.

Hobbykings finest clear red (which looks more like purple on the roll !!!) and solid silver, not looking forward to that part, I hate covering because I never do a very good job of it :(

I am planning on transparent Red or Orange, or a mixture of both. I have some transparent Modena too, but I may need to play with the iron temps on that as I struggled to get a good finish with it on the Minus.

Red with solid silver should look striking. Covering is fun, but it just seems to take me ages.
