the ten commandments of flitetest

The ten commandments of Flitetest-

Thou shall sweareth to liveth by these rules when building thine aircraft of remote control-

1. Thou shall have a sufficient supply of spare Adams Redi board

If you scratch build, then you are already on top of this! Those speed builders of you out there, however, should keep at least one sheet of foam on hand. Especially if it is your first build. You WILL mess up at least once. Relax, it happens to the best of us,  as long as you have extra foam, youll be good to keep going!!! The stuff is just a buck! You cant go wrong!

2. Thou shall knoweth the difference bethween A and B style folds

Know this rule!!!! it will save you a lot of headaches! A style has the cheeks Above the plate, B style has the cheeks Beside the plate.

3. Thou shall not forsake a sharp razor blade when thines current blade is dull

Above all, live by this rule! the key to a good build is a shrp balde! Dull blades will ball up the foam and make your cuts look very ugly.

A sharp blade looks like this

Or this

4. Thou shall reenforce all glue joints with hot glue

If you plan to fly your plane for very long, or even get it off the table in some cases, all your hinges need to be reenforced with hot glue! Don't skip this step!!!

5. Thou shall knoweth that all who build have a favorite Swede, and his name is David

Daaaavvvvviiiddddd!!!!  That is all

6. Thou shall use a glue gun that shall provide ample glue to thines build

Get a good glue gun! One that is hot enough but not so hot that it melts your foam! Just about anything from adtech will work nicely, and they are cheap. My build buddy and I like the adTech mini.

7.Thou shall keep a tidy work area

A clean work area leads to a clean mind, and a good build! find a bench with drawers so that you can keep all your tools organized and return them when they are not being used. This is KEY!!!!

8. Thou shall have ample refreshments available to Thines self and build buddies

Dr. Pepper, Mnt. Dew, Coke, Pepsi, Oreos, anythimg to keep you well nourished (haha!) and happy. This will minimize distractions from your builds to go to another room and get food. Get creative! Add a mini fridge to your shop!

9. Thou shall shareth the hobby

If it werent for sharing the hobby this article would not be written, Because I would not be in it! Give FPV rides, Buddy box, and above all be friendly! People will be more likely to have a posotive image of our hobby if the hobbyists are kind and inviting!

10. Thou shall have fun

Enjoy it! If a build starts to feel like work, Walk away and come back to it later. This will save many a project from abandonment. Also, remember, Flying is fun!
