Guys, I thought I would move the discussion to a sort of an "official" build thread.
The reason I do this is because right out of the starting gate I'm running into problems, the answers to which I simply forget. Overall. I've forgotten how complex a task it is to assemble a kit such as this
--and do it right....a quality build. Sure it's possible to slap a kit together quickly and it may fly fine, quite another matter to produce a square, quality build. Hope that's ok with everybody.
I'll start with a few items:
1) It turns out that my old building board is useable. The surface is not pristine, as noted above, but by the time I lay the plans and wax paper on it I think it will be ok. A trivial note, ultimately.2) Ok...here's one that already has me flummuxed: Do I cut the plans up with scissors into its constituent parts -- wing, fuse, etc. ? I know I've done this before and see no way around it. The shear size and layout of the plans seem to make it unavoidable, and I see no down side. I know I did it at least with my (deceased) Lanier Stinger 40.
I don't know, maybe this is a dumb question. Minimally, I see no option but to cut out the wing plan section.
3) In the original thread, the question of dual aileron servos was brought up. MK noted that a single servo has worked successfully for years, true enough. I've always used 2 dual servos but wonder if it's really necessary with a plane like the V60.Well...herein I present some initial confusions. All comments and deviations welcome. Interesting about others having V60s on the shelf, the Uproar, etc., a pending 60 Hots repair. Small world indeed. Regards, Dave
