Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
He is using 7955's and the plane is a rocket. I'm using the carbonite arms on this Cherokee on the flaps and ailerons but they never be stressed like his are. My first giant scale plane was fitted with Futaba S128 servos, 48 in-oz of torque, plastic gears, Quarda Q-52, AM radio, 1200 ma battery...- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
Our trip to the flying field got cut short today, stripped an elevator servo arm on my friend's plane, good thing it was noticed before he took off for the forth flight of the day. Lessons learned don't use carbonite servo arms on 100cc plane with a 3W 150 competition series engine!!!! Got home...- TonyHallo

Did get to the autobody store, I seem to remember a pint of white base costing around $35, it's $52...- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
Installed the blanking plate, the bottom half is glued in and the top is removable to access the engine compartment. Three 2-56 screws hold the top in place. It is time to get serious about painting. The PTFE angle arrived as well, ordered 1 12" piece, they sent me 10 12" pieces. Sent 9 back.- TonyHallo

Anyone familiar with the multi pitch props?
Here's what you get when you run an APC on a giant scale engine, the prop broke in flight, 26" x 8", Zenoah GT 80. Only thing holding the engine on the plane was the throttle cable! Got it back to the runway and the plane stalled as the speed decreased as the engine had moved several inches...- TonyHallo

Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build
Had the Champ out on Saturday for the first time this year. Over the winter I replaced the Sullivan 6" Skylite wheels with 5 1/2" DuBro lite weight wheels (4 1/2 ounce saving), replaced the rear windows with .015" thick PETG ( 2 1/2 ounce saving), replaced the steel tailwheel springs with 1/4"...- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
Found 1/2" x .060" PTFE angle at McMaster Carr, plan to make the mounting brackets for the fairings out of it. Also bought a piece of .020" G10 that will become the blanking plate to separate the engine side from the cabin side at F2. This will be removable.- TonyHallo

Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build
The windows are in. Working on the landing gear, Carl Goldberg made little 90 degree nylon brackets for mounting cowls, wish I could find a package to mount the fairings. I used those brackets on the original Cherokee.- TonyHallo
