Rough cutting is the key phrase there Colin.

Cutting film blunts scalpel blades really quickly, not a problem if you are doing solid colours, but if you are doing multiple colours and particularly when trimming edges in situ, new blades are a must and a worthwhile investment in my experience. I buy them in boxes of 100 when I'm covering, around £15 a box.

Each to their own though ;)

Well I have surprised myself, I have actually completed a build :woohoo:

Need a bit of help with the radio set up though, ailerons go the correct way but the elevator is reversed, if I reverse the servo it makes the ailerons go the wrong way :angry:

Does anybody know how to fix this??

You have to physically swap servo plugs into you receiver and then reverse whatever needs reversing on the radio

Congrats on completing the build

Now that it is done what are your views regarding alternative components? Specifically:
1.would it be easy to use a different motor or is the Hacker a tight fit?
2.would it be possible to fit a fatter 3 cell battery or is the thinner 2 cell tight already?
3.is there room for a slightly bigger ESC?
4.would it be a pain trying to fit servos that are slightly different shapes or sizes?

Looking good Chris, now we just need to find a new build project that's a bit challenging :evil:
