Watching glue dry on my Flea as well as motor mount assembly of DW. I planned on doing one at a time to develope better skills before moving on to the DW but...
After reading the instruction sheet of the DW, I started work almost immediately. The Instructions are very well written and illustrated so that it is 'virtually' impossible so err.
I'll get the Upper Rings on tonight or tomorrow.
The jist of this is: don't be intimidated by the skill level or the dual canted motor mount assemblly, this is an easy build.
I did add the baffle kit to mine and while assembling it I added a step or 2. The instructions tell you to glue the Upper and Lower Baffle Rings 'about' 1/8" from the end of the coupler. While dry fitting, I just could not make the ring sit evenly so I took a razor blade and cut 6 small, about 1/8" X 1/8" squares of balsa and glues them inside the baffle about 3/16" from end. The Baffle Rings are about 1/16". On the DW Baffle configuration it only takes a moment to look and space them accordingly so they don't block any holes on the Lower Baffle Ring.
The rings now sit to my satisfaction. Nerdy? Probably. Necessary? Probably not because Fiskits would've told you to do it. The instructions I've read tell you everything else you'd ever want to know about building and flying the model.
Great Kits!
