    Understand, that is something we don't see in modeling, heck most of the models we fly are not even close to their bigger brother, nice work.

    The new IBEC arrived today from AJ Aircraft. TechAero was out of stock so I ordered this one from AJ, I thought I was getting a rebranded TechAero unit however this is not the case. First off the unit is a plastic case, next thing I notice is the LED is plug in, then there are DIP switches to...

    It is two separate switches paths operated by one magnetic, I my case each path will feeds one of the two separate inputs to the power expander. The switch can have two different voltages on each path if needed. For the ignition I'm using a IBEC powered from the power expander, no separate...

    It reminded me a lot like canopy glue, white and dried clear in a hour or so. The wire was held in place with tape and the glue was applied with a Monoeject between the tape, after a hour the tape was removed the those areas were glued.

    It is a Zepus dual 20 amp magnetic switch. The plane had two Zepus 15 amp magnetic switches, under the seat, it was difficult the see if the small indicating LED was lite in the bright sun light, the LED's are brighter on the dual switch and the access is better now. One swipe and both side...

    This post is what the Postman didn't bring. I learned last week that Robart is ceasing the retract and landing gear operation. I'm surprised to see only one post about this . I guess no one is building these days? I sent them and email and ordered 8 torque links and clevis pins for the Robo...

    Here are photos of the rudder cable exit, the exit was formed from a Miller Lite can, glued to fabric then cover with fabric.

    Here are some photos of the trim tab cable exit. Maybe you can cover the exit with the material you are using.

    NO I would not use CA. Are you going to cover the exit with fabric? Do you need to fill the weave on the product you are using? I would use a flexible glue or canopy cement.

    The SS streamline tube arrived from Toni Clark, took about two weeks from Germany. It is slightly larger than the K&S aluminum tube. The aluminum tubes bend very easy, the tube on the bottom has a crease in it. Got enough tube to replace the jury struts on the Super Cub as well. I like it!

    I watched this video recently on fitting windshields. The author kind of used your idea of fitting the windshield from posts to post then adding on the upper section. I experienced the same issue he had where you can make a perfect template but the PETG just doesn't bend like the template...

    Hardened the leaves with the acetylene torch, heat up to cherry red then quench in water, then temper the leaves to 500F in the kitchen oven for 2 hours. The leaves came out nice and blue. The original had four leaves, one was eliminated and the spring action seems good. Started looking around...
