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-61 or 91 is the ideal engine for this
airplane. 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.
