Plane Stand Pro - fuselage stand.
No worries Terry...I'll be patiently waiting. It's not like I'm working on anything anyway as I'm flying all over the world for work....and not flying anything I want.- Wacobipe

Stupidest thing you have ever done RC related.

Pop goes the prop!
I didn't see the original post but I also realize my post was made in a perhaps more aggressive tone than I meant. I was just curious as I've never seen it. My club flies smaller airplanes ( 500 cc on average for hpthe serious guys) and a carbon fiber prop is relatively rare so that explains at...- Wacobipe

Goulian at Oshkosh 2015
If you ever wondered just how accurate full-scale aerobatic pilots were...check out the cam angle from Mike Goulian at Oshkosh...stunning how fast he rolls and how accurately he stops in preference to the runway lines on this flight...- Wacobipe

How the hell many people fly at your field? I don't even see one airplane destroyed every weekend, let alone a prop delamination. I've never seen it happen at our field period.- Wacobipe

IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build
I used the Mini-Mite today and while I have some learnin' to do I am totally impressed! First, I managed to prime all the flight surfaces with the system which I'd never used previously without one drip in the entire group of parts...I've never sprayed anything without a drip in my life. The...- Wacobipe

IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build
I did a lot of research on HVLP and then the various systems available and universally Fuji ( made in Canada oddly enough with a name like that) seems universally considered the brand that hits well above its costs. HVLP is basically a high quality vacuum cleaner running in reverse...so it blows...- Wacobipe

IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build
I also had to make a purchase to support painting the entire plane...I either needed to buy a larger air compressor to support some old paint guns I had or, as I decided, I chose to upgrade to an HVLP system...I like the concept of low overspray and eliminating the issues around moisture in the...- Wacobipe

IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build
Despite my long stretch of silence I have been working away when I have the time..I've been busy glassing (1 ounce cloth) and epoxying (Z-poxy finishing resin) all the flying surfaces, then using dolphin glaze to fill the imperfections. I have a few details to work on yet but the next big step...- Wacobipe

PrecisionCutKits.com...anyone?
I haven't used them but I recently purchased a short kit for a Henry Haffke designed GeeBee Model Y and was extremely impressed with the quality so you might consider that as an alternative if needed.- Wacobipe

Glassing and Painting techniques
@Jetpainter...What is your sanding method during each step (glass and resin, filler, and primer)? I've got the Raven surfaces all glassed at least one coat, some have a second coat of resin and I've used Dolphin glaze to start filling on one surface. I struggle with using a power sander as I...- Wacobipe
