After 5 ARFs I thought I'd try building a kit. First ever, not sure if the Ninja is a good choice for rookies but it's too late now, have been working on it for the last two weeks!

Happy Days:
Good Man Antonio! :clap:

So,…….how far have you got with building it? :?:  Can you post some pictures of your work so far? We like to see pictures.

Nice kit Antonio. It must be a pretty old kit. I have a magazine review from 1994 about it, QFI issue 6. The review says its an entry level aerobatic slope model, so it should be ok for you. Where did you get it from?

billscottni:
Enjoy the build Antonio. There is a definite sense of satisfaction when you see something you've built flying.
Totally different to flying an ARTF.
Makes for a far broader hobby. :clap: You can build when you can't fly! :?:

antonio:
Yes Keith, I'm taking pictures, I hope you don't mind if they come with probably as many questions. A "learning build thread" of sorts.

Here's the first one. Plywood parts came in two ways, laser cut and die cut (probably a sign of its age, it's an old kit indeed, Alan, although still available - got it new from SMC). So many of the die cut pieces didn't want to come out without a (damaging) fight. I turned problematic pieces around and kind of guessed where the cut would be, cut with the blade, and eventually managed to get everything out without splinters. But is there a better way? Other than buying laser cut kit  :)



The offending ply fuse bits, die side down.
