If this is a dumb question, my apologies.. but I'm seeking parts for a Zagi 400x, anyone have any good resources for the misc. parts.. or ways of doing them at home. I've seen a couple of sites out there with parts, but they (canopies) looked a bit pricey.
The main one that could be done at home, I suppose, is replacing my one elevon which is snapped in half. Do I just need to goto a hobby shop and get a comparible piece of balsa.. then cover it with the tape from before? (I cant recall if I put anything on the wood before covering it).
Secondly, the one stabilizer fin is broke.. it looks like simple flexi plastic.. I'm guessing I could either order the exact replacement online somewhere or find material and cut another triangle from it. What are most people using to cover these, or are you.. mine werent. (any guides online for this part?)
(I'm going to be converting the whole thing to Lipo soon).
When I did the 400x, it had the receiver position still in the front of the plane, followed by battery.. Has anyone moved the receiver to say the midsection horizontally? Is anyone using full size receivers or mini's (issues with range on minis?)?
Any good sites for getting replacement canopies for cheap?
Final question is on the canopy.. any good tips for ways besides a piece of tape to hold it on during flight..
Thanks
