EVERYTHING: Faq, Techniques, Tools, Tips'n Tricks.. Pretty much everything really.
It seems to me that there are a large amount of questions that regularly pop up.
"How do I vacuum bag" "How do I cut wings" "how do I work out the Center of Gravity?" "What plane for a beginner?" and so on.... Usually to answer these (and all other questions) regulars have to trawl the archives to find the links. Even those who know and love the search function have to admit that finding some things can be frustratingly difficult. I've been out for some time (I went for a walk) but I'm back to stay and will be happy to edit this thread and keep the 2nd page as a continually updated list of links to other threads/posts of particular value. The aim is to collect all the posts that you have found useful in one place so that we can by-pass the search and direct people to a specific post... Got a particularly good link? Remember a great bit of advice or work that was useful to you? Post the link and suggest a category or title, and I'll edit into post Nr 2 Last edited by Sensiblenick; Jan 12, 2009 at 12:56 PM. |

 Lots of links and no one-stop shop yet, they all cover different aspects. Many people still experimenting with application and colouring techniques, loads of information being posted) Tony. Last edited by Antonsoarer; Jan 13, 2009 at 06:50 AM. |
