    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    This one will be flown more IMAC style than anything else, but it will get thrown around a little now and then. Probably by me.:lol2: I'm usually harder on Tony's airplanes than he is, but he does encourage it.;)

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    I was able to get the elevator throw to 45 degrees each way from the 22 it started at. That will certainly do for Tony's kind of flying. It can go more, but I would need to lengthen the slots in the elevators and it wouldn't look as clean. Plus, much more and they would hit the vertical stab at...

    Scale Pitts S1-T, S1-S, and a Challenger.

    I would suggest not using CA on a giant scale canopy. It's too hard and can cause the canopy to crack. Some say the CA itself makes the plastic more brittle. RC56, now Formula 560, works well, and stays a little flexible. Goop would probably work great. On another guys advice I used it to hold...

    Composites get really strong in small shapes like that, so it should be fine. Plus, the rudder post sits on top of and is glued to that block.

    I've never really compared it to others. I know it seems to be the choice on composites. Bob Violett has his Aeropoxy that I believe is rebranded Hysol 9462. I've used the Aeropoxy quite a bit on jets, and it always works awesome. I've never checked, but I'm not sure the 9462 is water soluble.

    Since the rudder post is on hold, last night I worked on other things. One thing I did was remove some material in the hinge pockets to increase the travel on one of the elevators. I got it to about 45 now, and it has a little more left in it.

    McMaster-Carr is awesome, I buy from them all the time. I checked there a few days ago and they had the 9462 Hysol in stock, but I had been told Chief already had the mule loaded and on the way. Since I'm not the one buying the supplies for this one I'm stuck waiting on Chief. The word now is...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    It hard to beat a vertical band saw for that, other than maybe a water jet.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    That's how I learned about them, from an electrician buddy of mine, that and a Wells saw horizontal band saw. I made some tools a few years ago for the club for pushing in 6 inch staples into a fabric runway. I built 4 of them that you could use standing up and not have to kneel on you prayer...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    These are awesome to replace a hacksaw. Portabands will spoil you with how much time they save over a hand saw.

    That has been my experience. Like holding your whole order of stuff you need while waiting for something that's not important. A little communication goes a long way.

    New Pilot for my Carden Pro 124

    Glad to hear it worked out so well. Isn't it nice when you have enough power to accelerate on an up line and you don't have to throw the airplane into everything.

    The rudder on my Hangar 9 Extra is way bigger than this, and it originally came with 4 flat Chinese pin hinges. I think one of these phenolic hinges would out do all 4 of those. This is actually a nice system, it's strong, free moving, sealed, and removable. It just sucks that Chief boned him...

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    I've been trying to figure out how the hinges on the rudder post are going to work out and I've decided that either they are not all correct, or you supposed to modify them to make them work. When assembled like I think they should be, the rudder post is a strange angle to the rudder, and...

    I looks like an awesome flying airplane, but it looks nothing like a Laser. Not that that is a bad thing really, it just doesn't look like one.
