Morning!
FYI, Bernard has just posted an electrified option for the next batch of T-Hunter kits. I suggested he should provide as an option, a complete extra fuselage so the buy can build both but use the same wing. A twofer! Also, the next batch of kits will also have the option of making removable V-tails! The development continues.
Just something to think about for the future, we could for instance try for a bulk purchase of just the electrified fuselage?
Cheers!

The 4 shipped to Andy have arrived as well. I've sent an email to the recipients.

Update:
A well packaged box arrived at my doorstep just now! The T-Hunters have landed! I have six kits that I will be distributing to the various members that live nearby.....I'm keeping one for myself! Bernard went over and above by adding things like launching hooks, various pins and sleeves for the wing joiners, etc.
I haven't opened up my kit as yet....but at first glance, the laser cutting looks to be first rate!
Cheers!

Morning!
I just updated the delivery status of our T-Hunters this morning and noted the estimated delivery date is now Thursday, May 26/22! Woot!
Cheers!

If you haven't seen them yet, Bernard has posted his second instructional video on Youtube and RCGroups.

Andy:
Same here for the seven kits to my house. I noticed that they are sitting in Mississauga Depot already, so we might get lucky and see them at our door a few days early.

Delivery: For the 4 being shipped to me Canada Post tracking currently says Friday May 27
Adhesives: Mostly Titebond III and Superphatic. CA embrittles the wood. So only use CA sparingly when you need e.g. a tack to hold in place before using another adhesive.
Morning!
Andy as far as I know, there is only the Facebook link.
I have a question as to what is everyone going to use for glue? I was thinking of using a thinned carpenter's glue as it might not soak in as much and should be easier to sand. I realize most will likely go with a thin CA.
Your thoughts?
Also, Bernard has posted a instructional build video on RCGroups Thermal Sailplane section. It is also on YouTube. I'm hoping the shipment of T-Hunter kits arrives today (Friday) Fingers crossed!
Cheers!
