    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I have the controller built for the electronic carb. It seems to be working, need to get the carb mounted and do some test runs. There are four telemetry points, haven't figured out how to decipher the numbers yet. Can hear the carb pulsing proportional to the throttle stick position.

    Scale Rodel Model Cessna 182 Skylane

    I would finish the wing, mount the wing with plastic wrapping film install on the wing, then fill the gap a Bondo like product or epoxy thickened with microballoons and chopped fibers. You will want to add dams around the wing dowels and bolts to prevent sticking. Here is a photo of the...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    There are no needles, the adjustment is done using a curve, in OpenTx this can be up to 17 points. I need to work out the pump however. The original carb had a spring in the pump. The Zama does not and the pump membrane is thin plastic sheet while the original looks like reinforced elastomer...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    When you first put it on you think this will never work, there's a lot of shrink in the fabric. I glued down the seam first making sure it is straight, then the rest of the edges, shrink from the seam out. There may be some areas where it makes sense to take the slack out before shrinking.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Over on the radio forum on another site came across a discussion using OpenTx with an electronic carburetor used on Stihl saws. Followed this back to originating forum and one thing lead to another while I was on vacation so I have the carb in hand now. It is a Zama carb with 17 mm bore. One...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Need to study the wings to see if they can be salvaged. The only good part of the fuselage is the back which I would change anyway. Used too much spruce back there.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Flew the Champ twice this year after making the above corrections. The trim tab was a little off and I didn't like the level flight setting, flew too fast. Before vacation the trim tab was adjusted and the level flight was set to a higher angle off attack. Came home Thursday after being away...

    It looks like part 30 was glued on backwards, the bevel on 30 should match the rib profile.
