  1. hi, I am having some issues with my tail wheel and flaps, my flaps are stiff and needs some force to move while my tail wheel doesn't want to retract (gear attached to the motor that moves the tail gear is moving but part connecting the tail gear to said gear doesn't and makes clicking noises) but when extending it works perfectly. any advice on how to fix would be amazing

    You can get a soldering set at Hobby Lobby for a few $.  By following the above, you can change the LED with out removing anything.  What ever is easiest for you.

    I can’t remember if I ever soldered electronics before so I’ll go with removing the tank

    That is called the engine mount supports, and yes you will have to nip that off to get at the bulkhead and fuel tank for removal.  The good news, its not weigh bearing, its there for looks, the engine is self supporting. you will have to re-glue in place per the instructions when you are done.  Use a sharp pair of sprue cutters and cut as flush as you can to the support brace and the bulkhead.  Recommend CA glue to reattach.

    it is unfortunate I'll have to cut it...but it's the only option i have due to not owning a soldering kit...plus the led needs to be completely replaced

    I would recommend the following, remove the gun and LED.  Put the new LED in the tester you used to check the motor for the propeller to make sure it works.  Then, carefully snip the red and black wires that connect to the board, as well as the LED light.  Use a sharp knife to scrape away the wire coating and either solder or twist the wires together- red with red, black with black, and cut a small strip of electrician tape and wrap it tightly around where the wires are reconnected.  Gently tuck them in so they wont interfere or pinch when you close up the fuselage.  I had to do this with the three wire plug for the landing gear switch.  It works fine.

    Your other choice is to remove the fuel tank and the bulkhead.  Refer to assembly instructions from this pack.

     

    I was asking about how to remove the fuel tank and bulkhead without removing the spacer or brace or whatever we had to put on after the bulkhead with glue, is it possible or am I going to have to cut it off and glue it back on after the switch is done?

  5. Hi, I’m currently doing a video build diary of my titanic similar to how Wayne does build videos, I am curious if I can post my playlist here or not, I’m the mean time here are images of how far…ish I currently am at. And the reason I say ish is because I’m using modelmodz to improve my build and in anticipation for the pack 2 upgrades I have removed detail from my forecastle and have yet to photograph it

  6. Hi, I noticed that my right 7.7mm gun is not working, I already asked for a replacement but I want to know from those who have had to replace either one or both guns…what’s the best and easiest way to get to the board to unplug and replace the gun without have to break the small tube like parts that prevent you from removing the part in front of the screws?

    This looks OK, but I'm not at home at the moment to check the parts against mine.  I'll get back to you in a few days time.

    So it’s ok for the power cable to be squished and have exposed metal?

    Can anyone tell me what the voltage is supposed to be at the power connector and which pin locations I should use to test the voltage. I'm not getting any movement from the plane and intermittent movement from the base. I'm sure that the problem in the base is a result of the failure in the plane. The system has to be able to 'talk' back and forth to complete the program. I want to be able to check the voltage from the base to the plain before I start disassembling the plane. Agora Sam, if you are reading this can you give me some direction? In the mean time I'm going to disassemble the lifting motors to give them a good greasing. Something I should have done during assembly.

    I’m having the same issue, I just found my wire for the plug was damaged so I’m replacing it right now but I’ll keep in touch if it doesn’t fix my problem

    Can you check that the connections in the power post are correct.  I.e.  Pin 1 connects to pin 1 at the other end, etc.  Pins 1, 2 4 & 5 should connect to each other respectively.  Pin 3 is not used.  

    Here’s what my power outlets and plugs look like, including the motherboard inside the aircraft, do you see anything wrong that would cause my issues? And how would you fix it?

    Check the connections as Mark stated, mine was incorrectly manufactured and didn't operate as it should until I replaced it.

    Besides, with the notch and key design shouldn’t it be impossible for me to mess up?

  11. Isn’t it only able to go in one way?

  12. hi, I just wanted to ask everyone here for some help. I got pack 12 and the base is working 100% fine on its own...but as soon as I plug the plane into the base the sound fails to play and all I can do is use the motors that take off, bank and land the plane. the plane just sits there doing nothing and I'm wondering what the issue might be. I already tried unplugging and replugging, even flipping the power post around and nothing. I even went as far as unplugging and replugging the power cable inside the aircraft too. if you have any ideas, please share them so I can finish this amazing model and get it to work

  13. I did have this issue myself, but the source of my issue was that my gear would rotate and move a little freely before engaging the gears, all I did was push the gear and motor in so it was tight fit, and my gear would engage sooner
