    Canopy Refurbishment/Repair

    I did test the process last night and it looks like it will work great! I have some really fine sandpaper used for sharpening my wood planes (the kind you pops have wood with...not the kind you fly). So I started with 800 grit, then f Went to 1200, then 2000, then Mint like @Pistolera said....I...

    Canopy Refurbishment/Repair

    Now that's just cruel Earle! If I do the whole canopy can I reduce the time back down to your original estimate since it'll just be one spot again? :angel:

    Canopy Refurbishment/Repair

    Good report...not an easy operation...but good to know! Definitely cheaper than a new canopy and frame shipped from Germany. Did I mention there may be more than 1 or 2 spots...

    Canopy Refurbishment/Repair

    I think that could work in general...but Hysol is quite flexible so it'll probably enjoy the message and stay put! But I will try it!

    Canopy Refurbishment/Repair

    Let's just say you had a canopy that had some light scratches and perhaps some Hysol on the surface...just a hypothetical, it didn't happen to me or anything :mad: Is it possible to sand those areas to remove the epoxy and scratches, and then buff those sandpaper scratches out or do you just...

    Smaller trailers for 40% + sized Giants!

    It weighs just under 1000 lbs. my BMW. 135 barely notices it is back there...but it is rear wheel drive which helps...and the 300 HP, 300 ft-lbs of torque doesn't hurt either. But if you think about 1000 lbs it s similar to having 4 big people in the car so it isn't that much really. I think...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    I basically answered my own question after asking the question...which Is that I feel it is wise, if not necessary, to isolate the canister from the electronics...just seems safer to me. I'll post pics as I go through the process so you can see what I've done.

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    I've got a question for y'all...I am not sure whether I need to build a divider (false floor) into the Raven to separate the canister and engine heat from the electronics in the fuselage. It obviously adds some weight, but cuts down on heat build-up on the electronics bay which seems like a...
