UK Scratch Build

[muirjs]

Hi,

Recently introduced to flite test by my little bro and I've gotta say, its flipping amazing.

Dead keen on getting started on a scratch build but since I'm in the UK i'm having trouble sourcing some of the parts.

I can get hold of some of the foam board the team use in the videos but the motor mount and control horns are so far eluding me. I was thinking of having a bash at making them myself - does anyone have the measurements/plan for these bits?

Thanks

Hi muirjs
Scratch building isn't an exact science mate,if you can make your own use 2mm ply and allow enough clearance for the control rod to be directly above the hinge line.Use 3mm ply for the motor mount.
failing that,have a good look around the web

You can also use Hobbyking, but make sure you only use the UK warehouse or expect extortionate P&P
