Know what you mean about being low on cash. Because of school I can't work as much and so my money supply isn't what it used to be.
P-38 group build!
- Thread starter mach1 rc
- Start date
Yeah... I guess I have to realize that having 2 a pack motors, 2 b pack motors, two c pack motors, and an f pack motor let’s me build just about any plane, but the parts swapping is a pain...
Btw I printed half the pages for the p-38 for when I finish my mustang!

Wow that's a lot of motors. I have 2 f pack motors 2 c pack and a few edfs. And it is annoying to keep swapping them.

Awesome!!!
Well, I couldn’t help myself...
I tried out a new method where I took Elmer’s spray adhesive and sprayed a light coat onto the foam board. I let it sit for 3 minutes and then I set the plans on them and laid them down, making sure to smooth out the paper so there were no wrinkles. Then I waited about an hour till the adhesive was mostly dry. Then I was able to cut out the parts with everything staying in the right spot and not shifting on me! It worked so amazing! It gave me the precision needed for these master series. Here’s a picture of the spray I used:

Yeah, well I’m actually getting really excited about this one! I can’t wait till I get to build it over Christmas break!

Oh okay that's probably when I'll get around to it.
Cool. I’m just starting cutting out the parts so when I have a couple days that I can work on it, it won’t all be spent cutting parts out. Since it’s my first master series I am planning on it taking a long time. Plus I’m going to Minwax it and paint it, so depending on the weather hopefully it’ll hit the air by January.
@Splinter189 Josh said something about landing gear in one of the videos, but I don’t see it on the store or in the build video. Do you have any idea when it will be out?

Cool! I'm going to try to get my zero done before attempting this build. My first master series plane was the corsair and after that most of my planes have been master series.👍thanks so much @Splinter189

Yes I was thinking it would be pretty easy to get them crooked.This should be a helpful thread, for sure.
Watching to see how well the tail boom alignment to the wings is managed.

Wow😱 your killing it👍👏👌
I’m having a lot more fun than I thought I would with cutting the parts out. Usually I find this part boring but this is actually fun. I’ll have to do more master series! I know you said you e done the Corsair - have you built the P-47?
