    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Paul, it may seem intimidating but actually it is pretty easy and straight forward. They don't have to be bagged, you can do that with weight and a flat surface.  There are a bunch of us that can walk you through it. The most intimidating part is cutting the ailerons but if you screw it up a...

    Brand and type of aircraft 2014 WC

    Basic rule of thumb is figure construction to frame up about the same cost as the kit, If you want it covered and also painted that will be more.  Of course that is for a built up kit not for assembling an ARF!! There are several good kit manufactures  ( actually all of us )  out there and...

    Brian, Your still pretty clean compared to ours. I will be glad to clean your up if you will clean ours. Don't mind the aluminum dust from the muffler side mixed in with the Balsa dust here. I have a 3.1 to finish framing up for a customer and if I can find some time pull Kevin's out of...

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    All the measurements we provide for the flight surfaces are based on what we use on our personal airplanes for IMAC flying.  However since it is a kit you are more then welcome to adjust them based on tendencies that you are looking for.  On Brian's airplane you will see he chose to do the...

    Bowed Carden 40% wing panel

    Unfortunately I think your in for a new set of cores but you have nothing to loose right now other than time. If you have shucks you need to make sure they are true. If they are original that may be where the bow came from. Cutting the leading edge is a great idea and should relieve some of the...

    2014 IMAC Worlds?

    This was one of our 3.2m ARF kits we used to do ( we just do builders kits now). It belonged to Gerald Neel one of our team members who lent it to us to take to the worlds for the UK team. Engine was not buried, actually the mound in the far back of the picture is the engine and cowl. Tom David...

So instead...

    Clamp Locs ???

    Guys, Contact Crane Technologies in Westlake CA. One of my dearest friends use to cut them out for me but passed away. His son Tracy now runs the company. I am sure if you make large enough request he will start cutting them. Buy them directly through them. Then you get the real thing not...

    when do power distribution boards become necessary

    running two HV servos through one channel will be fine and if you are using something like a matchbox/msa-10 you can also power them directly to make sure those aileron servos are get the voltage you want. For many years we ran three aileron servos through a matchbox (without direct power)...
