If you don't seal them, the edges could delaminate from contact with other objects.

I like the lexan shield you mounted over the pinion and spur. Is there any way you could post a picture showing the section of lexan you cut that out of ? Did it come from the wing, or body area ?
Thanks! The lexan I used didn't come from the D413 (it was left overs from a 0.8mm MP9 body). On the D413 there's excess lexan on the side pods and the wing, so you can probably use that. I made a little paper template first and then looked for a lexan piece where it would fit.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I'm in the same boat.

I posted this link on here last night, but someone must have taken it down. Don't know why they would do that.

Right at this moment (and it changes often) A-Main still shows "ETA: 07/03/2014" and Tower shows "In Stock Limited Quantities"
Hoping my Tower backorder ships soon, I backordered on 4/14.

[QUOTE=Matt :-);13374588]I posted this link on here last night, but someone must have taken it down. Don't know why they would do that. There are two brand new D413 kits available on ebay.



Just have to come to grips with what amounts to $50-ish Parcel Post shipping.

I didn't like the price either. My kit on back order with Tower is $390.00. I'm gonna wait for the better price myself.

Just thought I'd post the link in case it was helpful for other folks on the thread.

And now my Tower backorder shows "Late Jul"

and A-Main shows "ETA: 07/25/2014"

Oh well, I guess I wait some more

I wasn't overly impressed with the negative eBay feedback he/she has either...
