But wait, didn't I just get called some conspiracy theorist who has no ability to navigate a confusing website?

I see you got a polite response too, just like I did.

You are intimating you are FORCED to read every thread ? how strange.


You were called out because you couldnt navigate a single Web PAGE not the whole site, failing the web PAGE you couldnt even figure out the CHOICE of TWO options nor could you manage to change the currency and you decided it was the Internet rather than yourself who was at fault.

You are the one at fault here, not me . If you dont want to participate in the thread other than to attempt to cause friction and blame others for your own inadequacies then carry on, all you are doing is showing the rest of us your true personality.

Im off to post in every single thread how i disagree with the content and how the world doesnt work how i want it to.

Normal people would just walk on by............................

Got the Sopwith Camel, happy with the quality. Sometimes the burned edges need to be sanded lightly which is ok.
I am a bit distracted building my Vintage Model Company Corsair that was gifted for Christmas but soon I expect to continue finishing it

The famous Callie Graphics the cub looks nice in yellow with the lightning bolt down the side. I haven't worked with iron on film yet, my previous balsa models were stick and dope/tissue, but, I have my eye on a SilenceModels Chocolat'in so I'm going to have to get practicing at some point.

I love Solite, ( Solarfilm Liight) for micro models. Stevens Aeromodels used to sell it before Solarfilm quit. I've used it on 14 or 15 of their models. It was good stuff for Micros.

Ive heard of Solite and lightspan and products like Doculam which we use on bigger foamies to protect the wings etc but i have never used them on the smaller models so i will be watching to learn

If you ( or anyone reading ) have links to tools, coverings , other models that you think would be beneficial to someone wanting to start a build or even repair an older model, feel free to add the link and I will put them on the front page with the kits. I dont care what vendor they come from or if they are affiliate it makes no difference to me I am happy to use" your" link to keep the information in one thread.

Readers of this thread should probably be made aware this item is controversial, as it was originally listed on Banggood with all the required electronics, but no-one so far receiving it has received any electronics. There is another thread covering this here.

People became very excited because the item appeared to include a Spektrum-compatible receiver, a 28mAh battery and two actuators, plus a charger. To be frank most people were more interested in those items than the airframe, but now it appears they are not included or even available.

I agree that is pretty disgusting. If advertised with electronics then all electronics should be included.

Banggood have since amended the product page to reflect that this is a barebones kit with gearbox. Still a petty crappy rick for those customers who already purchased the product.

Just bought the MinimumRC T-34 kit with all electronics through Taobao. Kit is really impressive for the price! Should be completed in the next week or so (sans painting or graphics).

I recently completed the MinimumRC T-34. I built it without the landing gear(gear up) and had to add a bit of downthrust, but it flys great. I bought it with the motor, prop, and servos directly from MinimumRC. I am curious what you getting for a receiver. Thanks...
