    Scale 1/3 Scale Piper Tri Pacer Build - WE Technical Service Plans

    Got a few pieces glued together, 2 formers and sides are joined. The plans instruct you to score the sides and bend inward, an interesting way of doing it. You really have to score and leave only one ply to get the sides to bend as shown on the plans, I decided to glass the side to the former...

    I don't use lock washers or gaskets, metal to metal with high temp RTV.

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    I got tired of switching the nut from collet to to collet so I bought enough nuts to leave the nuts on. Just ordered nuts for the ER16 collet set, I use the ER16 in the mill and can't wait for the nuts to arrive. If you are tapping a hole it takes three collet changes to get the job done, a...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Piper Tri Pacer Build - WE Technical Service Plans

    Ran into an old acquaintance last week that is helping dispose of some modeling equipment and supplies. I bought my mill off him two years ago, he still working to clean out the space. He offered me a few work benches, I had a look at them today and have decided to take them at a very...

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    The rotary table arrived yesterday, it is a deal for $39, I might be disappointed if I paid full retail of $209 however. All in all I'm quite happy with it, heck it is only 4"! I plan to make a ring that will bolt to the table with four jack screws that will act as a four jaw chuck.

    Don't sure what the problem is? Looks like you need to unsolder the old and solder on the new? You use solder wick to remove the old solder, just lay the wick on the solder joint and heat the back with an iron and it sucks the old solder right up, might take a second shot with clean wick to...

    Nice, I draw them with a circle template and cut the patches out with HCS (Hand Controlled Scissors)! Got to update someday.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    On the Champ it is inside the door. At the field I rest the plane on the spinner, open the door and toggle the switch. That is the same way I tighten the bolts for the wings, plane is on the spinner.

    Looks like both of the upper switches are on one circuit board. Radio South has switches for sale if you want to DIY? It is an easy fix with the proper equipment.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I wouldn't spent too much time on the electronics, my last 2 builds I had to redo everything because the planes came out tail heavy and that was using a 7.6 pound engine. The Kavan is about 1 pound lighter.
