Thrust J3 Cub

ive just bought one of these in yellow the instructions are total rubbish photos 1 inch square cannot see a thing.But as lots of others have had the same problem found a guy who has posted on tinernet and its much clearer and easy build.Its very well made and very scale and going together well now comes with motor and servos already in so its build reciever and battery

this is taking longer than I expected and im having to find missing parts which isnt helping; all to do now is set the elevator and rudder and finish the wings and its ready

no springs for tail wheel no wing bolts no under carriage bolts no idea what you use to hold wing struts in place itd been a challenge but nearly there

havent been able to maiden Wednesday is promising

Any chance of some pics Mr B?

yes as soon as I find my camera and figure how you post them on this new site.Flew it yesterday and its fqantastic gentle relaxing flying everything is just perfect no trimming needed a complete joy looks excellant in the air.Oh camers is in front of me

Garry has posted some photos of this beauty on (Been Flying)

thanks Garry thats great

when I visited Garry on mt second flight Ilanded on grass and it broke the under carriage.its not a strong design made of plastic and the broken part is a barge board triangular shape.Ive tried various ways to mend it with super glue but it soon comes apart.I phoned the suppliers and they told me the manufacturer had closed down so no parts available.I started getting cookies from Nitrotek .they are advertising the same model in green and have under carriage in stock so whoopee.They were very good on the phone so Ive bought a Texan from them by Dynam.Im also looking at a Hurricane by Dynam also

Parcelforce keep leaving cards but when I go to there depot its back on the van so went tonite and waited for the van to return huge box with a texan in and at the bottom of the box my landing gear ---- no a packet of screws

Nitrotek take forever to answer the phone upto half an hour,today as i became no1 in que I was cut off.You would think the guy on the other end would know the difference between screws and under carriage but apparently not.After several phone calls ive given this one up and bought some under carriage from E bay and hope I can make it fit
