Now that I have my mini Higgs Farm kit (Thanks a lot Tom!) I am going to do a build thread on it. I'm going to be building with the "help" of my little brother. I will be doing some modifications to it and that is why I am doing a build thread for it.
First off; the kit is beautiful and New Way did a wonderful job on all the laser cutting of everything. Also I noticed that there is basically everything but glue and paint. I have never gotten a kit from them before but I did not expect to get things like sandpaper and glue applicator sticks. Also its all neat and tidy in the bag, or was :lol:, and the instructions are in beautiful color and lots of pictures.
Now onto the modification I want to do. First thing is to ditch the motor hook and block. This is because I want to be able to fly on some E motors and small composites and I don't want to be limited. Second thing is to add a small amount of nose weight to offset the possible larger motors. Final modification is that I *might* add a 24mm Aeropack on at some point. I'm not 100% on this but i think it would fly beautifully on some 24mm 1 and 2 grain motors.
Other than these modifications it will look mostly stock and will be painted just like Tom's and will have the decals applied. I will post pictures as it progresses over the break and it should be done for the December 16th launch at Higgs Farm. There its first flight will be a D12-5. I would be willing to drag race if anyone else is up for it.
