New plane, time to hit the Q&A thread . Finally got the HK Silent ( Extra 300s lookalike. Major difference underside missing the flat section).
Q.1 As per parts list there are 4 control horns but only 3 teardrop shape bases to glue onto control surfaces. Elevator has 3 narrow carbon fibre plates strengthening the narrow section of the one piece elevator. Thought perhaps control horn intended to be glued to carbon fibre but all horns have tab to penetrate horn bases . No slot in carbon fibre & feasablity to cut seems poor . Considered removing one tab.
Q.2 there are 2 "EPP filling pieces" but no instructions where to fit. Similar size & shape to plywood motor mount base. No instructions for how to or how much offset motor or if necessary. Suggestions please.
