  1. quick question, the instructions say we need to only put 2 tripple a batteries into the battery pack when it holds hold up to 4 double a batteries, is this a mistake in the instructions? or we only need to put in 2 double a batteries?

     

  2. Hey, just curious if anyone knows what each button will control. I have a few assumptions for some but the autobot logo button has me completely stumped, also I am considering making a small modification to the remote and add not just an additional battery pack and switch but a led to make the logo glow, anyone else thinking about doing so since it is made with a clear red plastic?

    Coming together very nicely Phil!!surprising to see how tall just the legs are,it's going to be a real nice show peice when he's done.5 packs left😃

    Now knowing what came in pack 8 I now guess that the legs are going to be a bit longer than this, and looking at the post on agora’s instagram page I am now very excited for what I assume is the end result of pack 10 in 2 months, and I agree, agora definitely doesn’t overlook quality when building these model kits, mine is coming together well and standing strong

    Try putting it all into a tub of water, then put it all into the freezer. The expanding water will often pop off glued parts without damage.

    HTh!

    Didn’t do the water part but world of wayne suggested the freezer part as well, I did just that and (aside from some in noticeable chips and a few scratches that are hidden under the detail parts and not visible) I was able to finally fix the issue, I appreciate the advice and will remember to try giving it a soak before the freezer next time, just freezing it alone took forever so I appreciate you letting me know of a way to speed up the process

    Since you can only very carefully dismantle again ... 
    Depends on how much glue you have taken for the panels. If that doesn't work, politely ask customer service. 
    Just tell it like it is that you made an assembly mistake.

    Thankfully (after freezing the part for hours in the freezer) I was able to free them and fix the issue, a few tiny scuffs but nothing to noticeable

    Hello... 
    Such washers are available in every hardware store... 
    Or ask a locksmith... They have them too. 
    I would definitely use it

     

    Buy yourself such a set. There are all sizes in it. You can always use it.

    Hello....
    It would be helpful if you would show us a few pictures where exactly the problem is...

    Here is what I am asking about, I am missing one of 8 part TR-2-50, and the top vents are placed on backwards yet I placed the shield and back vent on and in doing so covering up the screws I’d need to remove to fix the problem. I am asking if I needed that last washer or if I will be fine? And also how I should remove the shield and vents in order to fix the top detail without damaging the model or the plastic parts?

    Of course, I will take a few to show what I am talking about in a few

  9. Hey, I’m in need of a little help, I accidentally put the top of the shoulder on backwards and already glued the vents and the shield on over the screws, is there any way I can remove these parts so I could fix the mistake or am I either going to need to ask for a new pack 2 or just risk damaging the parts and wedge something underneath it and pulling it off?

  10. I need some advice/help with a mistake I made with my pack 2. I put the top of prime’s shoulder backwards and I have all the details glued on. Also I am curious about something else. For the sliding mechanism of the arm I am missing one of the 8 washers that acts as a stopper and wanted to know if that is a issue or going to be fine. Anyways, I need advice on how to safely remove the details covering the screws so I can fix the top part of the shoulder and also know if the arm is going to be fine without that washer

    The flaps are designed so they use a friction slide for the flaps to articulate opening and closing, see instructions. I had the same problem.  I shimmed the support beneath the gear so the gear teeth really connect to the pinion gear that slides forward and backwards--rasing and lowering the flaps.  Also, put a dab of grease in the slots where the flaps insert.  That should take care of your flap issue.  Mine, only has one flap lowering and retracting.  Its a four second feature, that you really can't see.  So, I'm not tearing my plane apart.  It will just to have to make no flap landings :) As far as the tail wheel, make sure that long steel rod is not binding.  It has to snake its way through several plastic protrusions that are designed to keep from catching on something.  Grease that wire at those friction spots.  The servo is not very powerful, and I find as the battery drains, mine does not lower either.  But once the base is fully charged, no problem.  Hope this helps

    I found my problem with the tail gear, when I pushed the horn that connects the gear box to the tail gear in place after trying to loosen the tail gear to move without a ton of friction I accidentally pushed the gear down so the horn and gear were not fully attached, i shimmed the gear and forced it forward so i could tighten the 2 parts together so when the gear moved the horn moved. As for the flaps…can you send a screenshot of the fixes you mentioned? I’m aware of where the gears are since I can see them through the 2 slots at the bottom of the plane before I need to attach the add on plate. But I don’t know where to shim it. And lastly (not that important but just curious about this) I noticed my left landing gear indicator is not wanting to work, it’s extremely loose as if the gear is not actually engaged with the part. Easy fix or something i could ignore and not bother with?
