I am building a quickbuild kit of spitfire and I am running into some issues where I think the latest kit has changed a little bit from when the build video was made. I wanted to make sure that I am not missing something, and to share info with FT and other builders.
1 - wing spare seems too short - if you put the tab in the slot near the wing root, then the tab towards the wingtip is short of slot
2 - video show some servo being mounted at end of spar, but since the spar is short the servo has to be mounted about 1/2 inch from the drone of spar to line up with slot in aileron
3 - There appears to be a new cutout in the board sheet for lower wing surface for servo, this wasn’t in previous kit shown in the video. Previous kit didn’t have a cutout, servo sat on top of lower wing surface, now appears you are supposed to knock out that cutout and recess the servo? Which mounting is better? What was purpose of the new cutout? Just curious!
I just wanted to get FT and other builders thoughts on the reasons for these changes, what appears to be a miss-match between the wing spar length and the placement of the slots in the wing and servo placement. this is my first build, so I just don’t want to do something dumb - I do that enough as it is!
Thanks, Derrick
