Hi Nando, If you need questions answered please feel free to give me a shout and ask away.
The only thing I would have changed in my build was to sand of the injecting moulding nipples that are on the wings and elevator etc. I covered mine with 2" cross weave fiber tape and this left the wings/ailerons and elevator super stiff. No need to embed carbon or anything like that.
Use a good quality standard servo for your elevator.
Oh and do add the rudder, use a emax servo or any good quality micro servo that you have in the workshop.
I didnot glue the Fox together the tape holds the fuse in one piece.

IceWind:
Hi Richard,

Thanks for the help.
I'm definetly thinking about it, I found one person selling one in Portugal already fully built. With rudder built as well and re-enforced (so far I'm not sure exactly wht they mean by this)
It looks perfect the only problem may be the servos they used HXT900 for all surfaces and I'd defiently go and change them.
So I might get it in a couple of weeks, if not I';ll get a new and build it like you said using fiber tape.

I'm still not 100% sure about this but, are the wings removable?
I can't imagine carrying around a 1.6Mt "cross".

Thanks,
Nando

Eiretime:
Hey Nando,
Would you like my Fox? Let me know if you want it

Richard Boyd:
Hi Nando, yes the wings are removable,
Sounds like your getting an offer closer to home.
Luck man !!!!!
I am going to buy another Fox as they suit my style of flying, bump bump and fly lol

Richard

IceWind:
Hey Eiretime,

Let me know how much you want for it and what's the condition.
The other one despite been cheap I'd have to carry it across half Europe.
Thanks for the offer!

@Richard, excellent news! Until I get a van the best I can get is removable wings. Where do you guys use to fly up north? I've seen on the photos and the places look great, specially the sea views.
