    Discussion Onboard On/Off Switches

    Have always liked the Fromeco Wolverine switches. That said, I just ordered the Booma Key Fob switch for my Krill. I had originally set up the plane for a pin flag switch....but have since decided I didnt want anything showing on the outside of the plane. Hope it works as well as I've heard.

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Haha....BEER.....WHERE?!?!?!?! I still have a set of WhiteRose wheels with disc brakes. Had them on my 42% Raven when I lived in WV. Flew from a paved runway and they did help slow it down. You set the friction drag desired with a screw on the caliper. Just a slight resistance when turning...

    Not much to report (at least not worth pics). Lots of wet sanding, fill, sand some more, repeat. With each piece of sandpaper I'm getting closer to painting. Getting an exhaust fan and filtration system set up in my shop. Paint "booth" construction materials on hand. Hope to be doing some...

    Thanks guys! Still working on some details before I jump into paint (seems I've said that before!) Anywho.....fine tuning my "braking system"....almost wish they actually worked!

    Welcome back Mark. Been awhile since we've seen each other. I too have been incognito here for quite awhile. Life takes over sometimes!

    Before I get to the actual painting process i wanted to finish up some of the other scale ideas I've been losing sleep over...lol. One of these was to achieve a longer look for the spinner. As you can see here Mike Goulian's 330SC spinner is quite long with a cylindrical portion of the spinner...

    Used tape as a dam to build up the edge thickness desired. Then Bondo 2-part body filler first. Sand then finish with 2-part body putty. Then final sanding.

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Question for @Jetpainter ....or anyone with some good fiberglass painting experience. I will be using SEM self-etching primer over the fiberglass, then auto base-coat/clear coat paint. I've been finishing up the bodywork stuff by wet sanding with 320 grit. Should I go finer than 320? It...

    Not sure....just some I had in the drawer. Relatively soft though. They will get painted so a bit of body putty has smoothed out any imperfections.

    Thanks fellows! Compared to military and many civilian planes, the opportunities for scale detail on a plane such as this Extra are slim, so i'm taking advantage of any that I can do! On the issue of flex.....all of our planes flex in various directions depending on the load. My admittedly...

    Really giving a lot of thought to running just one aileron servo per side. The inboard servo mount is very strong...basically mounted into the solid ply wing rib. The inboard horn is 7" out from the inboard end, and these composite ailerons are VERY stiff torsion-ally. I've clamped the root...
