    That is correct, just showing what the 3 mm shears will do.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Here is F&M 3/4" pinking tape cut with the 3 mm pinking shears. Not exact but close enough and much better than a straight cut. Thanks for the tip.

    PM Research Mini Engine Lathe Build

    Oh, I know that I was simply testing, I had to change the tool that I ground after I noticed it was cutting more like a thread. At any rate PM me your address and I will mail it to you. I didn't make the reliefs as big on each end as shown on the drawing since there was no dimension provided...

    Steven, here is the test cut. I didn't put a center in the part so the final cut should have less chatter. I can drill and ream the 1/8" hole but have no way currently to put the key slot in. I may have a 1/32" cutoff blade that could be fashioned into a tool.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Here's what I did on the Champ and it has worked well. I like the idea of ditching the aluminum servo tray and just using the tiller arm.

    So the collet holder is bolted to the backplate on your lathe? Did it come machined to fit your register (spigot fit for those who worked with Westinghouse power generation equipment) fit or did you finish it? I have ER32 collets and if I had a collet holder similar to yours I would leave it on...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    With the torque of today's servos, there's really no need for ganging. I say go for it.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Not a bad idea. From the BUSA Super Cub. The tiller hardware was provided with the kit, it works very well.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    There are simulated stitches done with a T pin and white glue. If you click on the photo and zoom in you can just see the stitches. That wing was painted however it fish eyed. I removed the covering and reinstalled, the wings are sprayed with Poly Spray silver now. I didn't want to put the...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Yes it does. The card is old, I believe they are located in California? I thought most were leaving CA and going to TX and Fl? For 33% I use 3/4" for the ribs, 1" for longeron reinforcement and edges, and 2" for wing leading edges. You buy the tapes the same place you can get the fabric and...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    F&M Enterprises I found the 3 mm shears on Amazon and have them on order. I looked for quite a while for shears with smaller pinks but never could find anything. I even spoke with Chip Mull at the Toledo show, he said that had a pair that he had bought at an event in Las Vegas but could never...
