Many of todays higher end planes come very finished, but there is still lots to do to get it flying and there are many specialized techniques to learn to make your build light, strong, and safe for high performance flying. You just spent the big bucks on you plane and radio gear, why risk it all with poor building methods?

I produced the F3 Building Clinic to fill in for those 'missing' instructions and anyone putting together any modern sailplane kit needs to learn the stuff I teach on this 2 hour DVD. 

You will watch me go through every step in putting together a 6 servo F3X style plane and you will learn all of the techniques I use to make this a first class build.

You'll learn composite cutting, pushrod assembly, proper servo mounting, custom battery pack assembly, V-tail construction and a ton more. I even show you how to a trick minimal wiring harness and assemble self-matting wing connectors. All of the hard and tricky stuff is covered, and you will be building like a pro in no time.

    I just watched Paul Naton’s latest video, the F3 Building clinic. I’ve been building and flying contest ships for years ­ didn’t think I “needed” the video, but its always nice to support a guy like Paul and since I’ve got all his other videos I figured what the heck… I should order it. Boy am I glad I did! He built the model in the video just as I would have, but I learned 5 new tricks or different ways of doing things I’d not thought of before. One of them will be a huge time saver on my next build. If all I’d gotten out of it was that 1 tip, it still would have been worth the money.

    Radio Carbon Art now has 3 videos I consider “must haves” to any new (or intermediate) soaring pilot. The F3 Building clinic, The one on how to tune / setup your sailplane, and the Secrets of thermal Soaring. If you were brand new to the hobby, or stuck in a region with few other pilots to seek help from, these 3 videos can be your guide on the road to successes.

    I’ve heard some pilots say Paul’s a little “dry” to listen to…. Well…… DRINK COFFEE before you pop in the tape if that’s what it takes! These videos are worth every second! - Dave Beardsly

    Paul Naton has done it again with his new F3 Building clinic. I built a few planes in my time, too many to even count, but I am always "teachable" and Paul's videos always teach me something new! Between this, and "Performance Tuning" you have 2 new "must haves" -Bob

    "The Package came Wednesday, and I popped in in the player before Karen got Home. What, a nice video, well worth the buckage he is asking for. I got thru most of it, before the wife walked in, then she started watching as well..Its about 2 Hours +/-, full of great tips for building a nice plane. This Dvd as well as many of the other products that Paul sells is worth the effort and the money. I learned a few tidbits that I will incorporate into my next build, and a few to refirb my current quiver. Just thought you outta know !! - Jack S.

    I'm the lucky reviewer for many of Paul's DVD's and I can honestly say, this is his best as far as "getting information to the builder" goes. Get the DVD, you'll learn something new, I guarantee it! And that's from a modeler of nearly 40 years. - George Voss
