    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    I bought the glue at the Toledo show years ago ironically from a Canadian vendor on the floor, don't remember who. I thought it would replace CA, for regular building I found it was no different than regular wood glue because it takes 20 minutes to set, so I never really used it. For some...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Radio install is completed. The Zepsus magnetic switch has two separate switch circuits controlled by one magnet. The switch is located under the battery access cover as seen on top of the fuselage in the last photo. I plan to drill a small hole so that the cover will not need removed between...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    I've been working on the radio install the past few days, the original radio installed during the build was a PCM Airtonics receiver using 7.2 volt Nickel Metal batteries. The current install is a little more up to date. I am waiting on diodes for the power feed to the high voltage IBEC...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Not a problem, and yes all mu future builds will incorporate voltage monitoring downstream of the IBEC. This is my actual second failure, last year I had an IBEC that provided expected open circuit voltage however dropped to 1 volt when plugged into the ignition module.

    I use CA on a limited basis. If there are many areas, I'll hit them and leave the area. I normally use Titebond glues.

    What glue are you planning to use? Looks like thin would be the ticket if you use it?

    I good flying friend of mine is also into trains, he likes old Lionel and Marx trains. He always comes up with a project for me. The last one was tapping 4-40 holes in an old engine. Took about 3 minutes but he was as happy as could be. When he was here last I showed him the prototype gear I...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    OK the first flight was about eight minutes long, not a single miss, even the fellow fliers commented. Need a new HV IBEC. The second flight was not so good. Been practicing scale like takeoffs as I hope to fly in a scale contest someday. Taxi out and stop on the centerline, advance the...

    It is cool inside the cabin where the ignition module is located. Flew the plane yesterday with the new ignition, first flight about 8 minutes in picked up a miss. New plugs, new ignition module, what's left? Hall sensor or the Aerotech IBEC. Before flying I had installed a voltage sensing...

    Call CH Ignition, speak with Adrain. He says it's getting hot and move it to the other side of the firewall, I said it's already there and the ignition box is the only thing inside the cockpit that is hot. New ignition is on order. Hopefully it will be here before the weekend.

    Many years ago I purchased 3 4'x8'x1/8" sheets from a local lumber yard. This was back in the Hurley Extra days, still have 1/2 sheet left. It was nice quality as well.
