Starmax 90mm EDF F18 Building Log (Part 1)

The Starmax F18 has high level on scale design and resulted in main wing and tail fin joint area being weakened. Paint over joint area needed to be sanded away. Add spoonful of epoxy (do not use foam glue as it cannot penertrate the paint, ad the paint will just peeled off on stress).

Tail fin need 3mm carbon rod as well, since the joint surface area is too small to handle such force.

The main wing is reinforced in factory during molding with 3mm carbon rod in factory to the wing root (less 3mm)

The landing gear foundation is sanded and added with "Liquid nail". I love this as it is more resistant to stress and less bristtle than epoxy. It fills large gap better than epoxy as well.

The landing gear looks great and is smooth on operation, with towerpro 9g servos. I guess E-sky servos is too weak to handle this , and will easiy cause binding at the push pin.
