RV-12 build
Fun build. New laser cut scoring improvements help. A few suggestions though:
1) mount landing gear last rather than chasing around the table while hooking up servos.
2) add another piece of plywood to back side of nose gear for strength before gluing onto the power pod.
3) add another piece of foam to backside of servo rod guide before installing in the fuselage. Also, glue on slight angle from the laser markings to reduce the strain on the 9g servos.
4) glue 1/4” flat balsa to the wing tips to give them more strength from crushing.
5) buy a M6 x 1.0 nut to install the prop. Don’t be tempted to grip the can with channel locks to secure the self-locking nut.
Ready for its maiden flight now.
Enjoy!
