Tips and tricks page

Most the tips below are for GWS airplane kits but can be applied to other foam park flyers from other manufactures.

1. The Glue that is in GWS airplane kits is Contact cement:

To use it Correct paint a thin layer on both surfaces to be joined then press the to half's together then pull them apart, let the two half's sit for about 5 minutes then press them together again and let dry for about 30 minutes.

don't use it like glue it takes forever to set you wont fly for a week..

2. When Building kits like the gws Tigermoth airplane kit or the  Pico F3 or Beaver Make sure you put a strip of packing tape on the front edge of each wing it does not just protect the wing it will make it stronger.

3. Make sure that you use GWS Heat Sinks on all your ISP motors for the gws Tigermoth, Pico j3 cub, pico stick airplane kits otherwise they can overheat and burn out.

4. big tip the gws tigermoth airplane kit, Pico J3 cub per instructions tell you to use double sided tape to hold the wings together, Most of us who fly GWS airplanes use 5 minute Epoxy, it holds then together much better and makes a stronger joint..

5. Don't Fly on Windy days, if you plane when sitting on the ground is being moved around by the wind ( Fly Another day ) Fly early in the morning or early evening, or on calm days for Best performance.

6. I use DU-BRO Micro Pushrod Systems on all my planes makes setting up your controls so much faster and no wires to bend..

7. Don't forget to balance your Plane, every plane has its on CG ( Center Of Gravity) planes fly much better when they are balanced.

8. Please read instructions carefully and thoroughly before assembly in order to achieve safe operation with maximum performance from your kit.
