    hey, tats great. Haha, i stay in punggol. Where is the punggol flying field situated? Btw, who is Alex? He owns a shop or an expert in flying? Right now, i still researching, but thinking of getting a simulator to have some feel of it. :P
    check out map. http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_...evel=6?136,407
    simulator is a gd start but its a little different fm flying to real thing. it will get u up to maybe 60% to 70% depending on how realistic the sims r. u will still hv to train on a real plane. alex is a beaver guru. he doesnt run a shop, just doing this on a side line. there r a few ppl doing this as well but if yr a newbie looking to buy a beaver, i wld advise u to seek his help. he will coach u n start u off rite track, always pick up the gd habits. this is a social hobby especially for a newbie.

                      At Punggol Field, usually, you can find people there whenever its not too hot or not raining. So, in term of time, its early morning from 6.45+am to 11+am and 4++pm in the afternoon to 7+pm.

                      A few of us fly our planes at the field behind the church. Usually early morning and late afternoon.

                          Hi fellow pilots,

                          May I know where can i get a Estarter RTF Set? and currently i flying a newbie plane, X-Twin. Is it almost the same as flying a estarter when compare to a X-Twin from SilverLit?

                          Thank you

                              hi guys.

                              A newbie here. What type of glue is good for styrofoam to styrofoam or wood bonding? 3M's 77 can?



                              Anyone knows where to buy it?

                                1.For foam to foam/wood I use "SELLEYS Aquadhere PVA Wood Glue"
                                2.For foam to foam I prefer "UHO POR".
                                3.Or you can use Epoxy which is very strong, but may become brittle after time. The one in picture hardens in 5mins

                                For glue 1 & 2 you will need a long time roughly 12hrs for the thing to harden and stick well. You can get them at Homefix DIY.

                                There are also many types of glue you can use off shelf, just need to be sure it bonds the material well when set and it does melt the foam away.
