Tower Flat-Out foamy EP plane

Earl Scherzinger · 2006-12-27T20:35:07+00:00

Has anyone here in the USA bought and built a foamy FlatOut 3D EP (example: Extra 300S GPMA1114) from Tower Hobbies?First problem!I'm having a difficult time identifying the various black nylon injection molded parts in the two grids? Can anyone help me identify these parts? Without knowing the identity of all these parts, it's difficult to follow the instructions.Second problem!I believe it's IMPOSSIBLE to snap the Z-bend clevis(s) into the control horn(s) as the instructions tell you. Is there a secret to this? How can it be done? I've broken one clevis already, trying to snap it into a control horn. I hope there's a couple spares in this kit!Third problem!The instructions manual is printed in black/white/gray-scale, so it's very difficult to understand the assembly procedures from the pictures and word description. If I cannot come to a conclusion within a few days, it's going back to Tower Hobbies. I understand the foamy model cannot be returned because it's been started, but the rest of the supporting hardware and electronics CAN and will be retuned. The retail cost of the electronics and hardware is: $230.50Any and All help or advice will be appreciated.________________________________Earl Scherzinger 'AMA' #40329
