that would make any fin snap off..
Tha sounds like a good idea. Do you brush on a little or a lot or how does it work?Originally posted by agrippo
I've built several Launch Pad kits and they're a lot of fun but make sure you CA the soft balsa fins to strengthen them or they're break on landing.
Love the Scimitar and Anubis. Very cool kits to build and fly.

It can't cost that much for better balsa, just charge a buck extra for the better brands!

Thanks JJ It is really hard to say how long it took to build. I built it off and on over a few years. It took a considerable amount of time though.That looks awesome!!! How long did it take you to build it?
