Below is a list of items I used to build the basic Flik that do not come with the kit.
1" T-pins E6000 glue. Goop or FoamTac are alternatives, test any adhesive on scrap foam before using. Popsicle sticks 9mm Xacto knife 80 grit sandpaper Hot glue Velcro Dremel with sanding drum attachment Soldering iron Castle Creations BEC
Taking care in the building process goes a long way towards having a well behaved Flik. We hope you enjoy yours as much as we have ours during development and prototyping.Silent Morning Flight Over a Cold Landscape (+ FLIK Wing/RCTestFlight Collaboration Updates)Think Flight2024-04-20 | Check out this videos sponsor: windcatcherrc.com
