    IMAC Dietrich 42% Slick rebuild.

    Getting the residue removed from the fuse, tried a bunch of different ways. Found that heat and packing tape worked best. Heat a small area up with a heat gun, put some packing tape on it, rub the tape down and pull! It takes alot of time to strip a fuse!!!

    IMAC Dietrich 42% Slick rebuild.

    Cool, Thanks! I heard the former owners also had issues with the motors in it. But when I look at how much they had open on the cowl and how much venting to the fuse and out it wasn't much. I wondered if they understood the importance of exit air back in 2009.

    IMAC Dietrich 42% Slick rebuild.

    Had to do it, just had to have one BIG plane!!!!! I’ve been in the hobby for a long time, but I did take a long “raise a family break”. When I came back I had my first look at gas powered planes, and I can say when I saw how big they had gotten it was “holy frigging s—t!! I LIKE!!!! WANT ONE...

    What Happened here?

    Guess I was lucky. Met a guy who knew how to fly, got trained on a buddy box. My old Kadet lasted many years.

    50cc Motor Box Question?

    Don't know about 50cc size but on Pilot 30cc size all it had was tri stock on the motor side of the mount. No pins, no angle plate, and I wiped out two of them and everything else was wrecked but motor and mount never let go. Again, not 50cc.

    Inconsistent color on monokote ruins my plane

    Understood, after the work you have done to recover I'd be pissed to! And very right about not being able to see the difference under incandescent lighting. When you put it on you count on it matching even if the lighting is poor. It is expected to match when you buy it. I have to order some...

    Inconsistent color on monokote ruins my plane

    I would be saying something. I can really see the difference in the pic's so in the sun it would be really obvious. Looks like they missed a touch of blue in a batch.

    GoPro mount?

    I'm rebuilding a plane soon and one plan I had was to put a couple spaced out blind nuts on each side of the fuse. Just behind the canopy. When I feel ready to mount a camera on it I can make a camera mount and just pop though the covering for two 3mm screws on each side to hold it on.
