How to build RC airplane kits.

Building from rc airplane kits, can be a very rewarding experience. Hopefully the majority of components required are included in the box.

In fact, the first step is to familiarize yourself with all the parts, in the kit. Find the list of contents (generally in the manual) and check-off each item. If any part is broken or missing, advise the supplier and hopefully the parts in question will be replaced.

Now is the time to decide if any of the kit parts will be replaced anyway. For instance, I usually prefer to replace ABS plastic parts with third party fiberglass components, especially cowls. I find they last a lot longer than the plastic ones and resist the normal wear and tear, much better.

Other items, such as wheels, servos, tanks etc., should be obtained. Maybe you need to buy a new engine or even radio components-now is the time to procure them.

The next item on your agenda should be to read the manual, from cover to cover. This step will thoroughly familiarize you with the building process and get you ready to build that beauty!
