Hi,
I'm working on a FT Edge, but I'm thinking on doing a few things another way than the plan/video suggest.
The first thing I have changed is the battery mount - using a plate similar to the one used on the Super Bee (https://store.flitetest.com/flite-test-super-bee-hardwood-replacement-kit-flt-2052/p674261).
As I understand it, the point of the foam planes, are to build them out of "everyday items", but since I already have a few carbon rods, (screw-in) control horns, and other stuff from the balsa-building of yesteryear, I'm curious on how to use these. The control horns whould just crush the foam if they are installed on the bare foam, so en example would be to put in a patch of thin plywod on the top and bottom of the control surface.
Do you guys have any suggestions on using other materials or methods to make the planes a bit more durable?
