Game on! This build thread is part of the 2016 Balsa Build Along, started by Jsknockoff (full details can be found HERE). The goal of the build-along is to give people a good opportunity to try building from balsa, with a supporting community of people building the same (or similar) kits at the same time. With help and encouragement we should all be successful in getting airborne!
Most of us are building a version of the Mountain Models EVA. Different wings are available for it to give the builder some choice in how they wish to fly. Some are going with the "Sport" wing, others the "3D", and I'm going with the Bi-Plane. The kit was ordered a few days ago and arrived today.
Everything was in great shape, as per usual. I also just noticed that this 2 meter roll of covering would be enough to cover both sides of the elevator and horizontal stabilizer on the L-19, with a little left over!
The wing and fuselage are packages separately, allowing Mountain Models to simply package the proper wing ordered with the fuselage.
Hardware is included, including the needed nuts, bolts, and blind nuts. The manuals are actually written in ENGLISH, and aren't a horrible translation. You can download and print them from online if needed, but every order comes with the appropriate manuals.
The fuselage also includes a cowl (you can order a replacement if ever needed), carbon fiber spar, wheels, aluminum landing gear, pushrods, tail wheel & wire, battery strap, etc.
It's going to take a lot of restraint to hold off on construction until Dec 1 when this kicks off!
