Having just received and unboxed a balsa & wood 55 inch SE 5a I noted after reading the build manual was not one of the best missing in my oppinion two at least important items. The items which concern me are :-
1. No mention of installin wing strut supports? 2. No identification of the packets of nuts, bolts ect? Having taken this build as my first first Bi-plane, I expected more in the manual than there was. Can anyone advise me as to a video or picture show of the build of this bird which covers the items I have mentioned I would be very grateful |

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately due to the manual only showing how to assemble the three piece wings and the landing gear I would require info on all the remaining assembly.
The main problems for me are how far are the wing strurs from the wing trailing edge? How are they attached both to the wings and fusalage? Is the covering to be cut to fit the elivator push rods as the servo arms do not protrude onto the wing surface? Who ever thought the instructions sent were helpful should be shot. Howeever I am open to all assistance anyone could give |
