    Favorite connectors

    I am not a big fan of Deans connectors, I like using JSTs, EC 2,3, and 5 connectors for open easy access applications. If I have a scenario that is tight and a one handed operation for the connecting and disconnecting of my batteries, then I go with APP, much easier to manipulate with one hand...

    3D JAG's 35% Carden Edge

    Maybe there is a lighter tail wheel setup available, not a bling, bling one, just a lighter one. Does this have a carbon, or an aluminum stab tube? There may be an advantage by going with a little thinner wall carbon tube over the stock aluminum tube if that is what still being used. Thinning...

    Making a few Changes

    I have nothing in the near future for a custom build, but about two years ago I bought a brand new kit of the 27% Midwest Cap 232 from Midwest Products, with an 80" span, it was in the clearance section of their site, so I purchased one for old time sakes. This kit went out of production a long...

    Any Monokote users here?

    I guess I have been covering with Monokote for the last 30 + years or so and have dealt with the pains of the changes in Monokote several times over those years. Back in the day Monokote was very easy to use, it shrank good, stuck good, and had good consistency in color. Each change over the...

    Scale 50% scratch build Sorceress

    Back in the mid 90s I built this all carbon fiber Cobra, but I wish I would have spent my time building a larger Sorceress instead, much prettier airplane. Anyway, the very best to you on your build. Bob

    3D Gluing Robart Hinges

    Molded fiberglass fuel tanks?

    I have always sealed my composite tanks with gas resistant tank sealer from Aircraft Spruce & Specialty, it is an aircraft quality slush that you pour inside the tank, cap up, shake well, and pour the rest back in the can. I then allow the tank to set for 2 or 3 days while being open, after that...
