Hello all,
Well today I am going to collect my Mentor from Model Flight's warehouse and bring it home to assemble. I would like to know if anyone has this specific plane and has already assembled then successfully flown it?
Here is the link... http://www.modelflight.com.au/products/ ... 99-11.html
As you can see this bad boy comes with a DX6i Tx/Rx set up and also comes with a battery, charger and everything pretty much installed, hence why I used the word assemble and not build
I already have a DX5e that I got with my Phoenix Simulator and I bought an AR600 Rx to use with it when I fly my AXNs (I now have two because I love these little bundles of fun so much). So I am hoping I can use the AR600 with the DX6i, I'm pretty sure I can though...
As I am fairly new to the game I am asking for some basic advice that will help me get the plane built with all the issues that a beginner needs to know, but would not (merely by way of his own limited knowledge) be aware of. I don't want to complicate myself with intricate details about scale etc, but rather anything that will aid me in building and preparing this seemingly great plane for a maiden at the field with an Instructor and a buddy box. For example is foam safe CA different to medium CA glue? (Yes that's a question to answer here please.)
I have received so much good information from the posts on this site and despite some other forums being bigger (member wise) this one definitely has a great community of good souls who's contributions are regular, helpful and relevant. So thanks in advance for your information.
Bruce, if you're reading this how about a review of this plane (unless you already have and I've missed it)...?
I'll post a build log and photos later today if all goes well. Again any advice, hints, tips and/or watch out fors will be greatly appreciated...
