I'm ready to take the Typhon to the local, private airport and hopefully get permission to run it. However, I think that there is an issue with the steering. It doesn't look like it will straighten-out in the neutral position. I've tried adjusting the trim on the 3PV, and readjusting the servo arm doesn't look like it will fix the problem. I purchased the "DS3225 25KG" that you suggested. Is there any way to adjust it?Hey there Liberty,
DOT 3 is what some people use. Others state that it also removes the plasticizers from the lexan, leaving it brittle.
Since I already scraped-off the paint, I had to figure-out a way to get rid of the scratches. Some are pretty deep. Sanding them down was not an option. Then it dawned on me, rather than getting rid of the scratches, why not just fill them in. I took a piece of scrap lexan, scratched it up, and applied (2) layers of "Zap" medium grade glue. When it cured, the scratches were gone. However, it did turn the lexan milky white. After applying a couple coats of paint, the scratches and discoloration from the glue were gone.
Since the weather is too wet and cold to paint my F40 body, I have applied the glue and put it in one of my spare bedrooms, so I'm not breathing the fumes. When the weather is right, I'll finish painting the body and pray that all goes well.
