RECOMMENDED TOOLS & MATERIALS
Adhesives
- You will need two types of adhesives for this ARF -
Epoxy and Instant (cyanoacrylate) adhesives.We recommend that you
purchase both 5-minute and 30-minute epoxy to cut down on
assembly time, but you can get by with only 30-minute epoxy if time
is not important.You will also need a small bottle of both “Thick” and
“Thin” instant adhesive.
Tools
- Model assembly can be much easier if the proper tools are
used. Therefore, we have included in our checklist to the right,
a complete listing of all the tools we used to assemble our prototype
models. As you will notice, many household tools can be utilized
during construction.
Engine
- The Thunder Tiger PRO-46 is the ideal engine for this air-
plane. It is a quiet running engine that is easy to start and require no
special break- in period, is very easy to maintain, and will last for years.
Flight Equipment
- There are several “support” items that you will
need to purchase in order to get your engine running and your plane
in the air.These are listed at the bottom of the page.
