    3D Demystifying Vacuum Bagging of foam wings!!

    Great thread, I got more use out of the vac system by gluing on the LE and TE stock to every surface also. No yards of tape, just enough to hold in place, no clamps, no wondering, just slightly lower pressures. Used weldbond so it wouldnt foam and easier to sand the shape.

    So here is the deal... SleepyC style.

    The thing we may be missing here is pretty basic and fundimental to all long lasting growth. Kid's, we need to be able to reach youths and get their attention off the playstation and onto a building table and local field. Kids a wowed by cool in any form. Consider a GSN flying school or invite...

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Very exiting for sure, myself I've never used anything but monokote and the colors I needed for this one were a far closer match than ultracote, id like to try ultracote on a plane to see the difference in fact, would be interesting. I guess its whatever your comfortable with or have knowledge...

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Thinking to try the windex on glass method to make up the rudder sealing pieces, something I havent tried yet in this build and would like to add it to my " bag of tricks" .

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Oh theres a ton of staring and fidgeting and self doubt, bout an hour of aligning and re aligning and second guessing. Do a test piece, then another woth a different approach. Maybe takes a full pepsi and two marlboros to get the courage up to actually do it, then re trim a 1/64" off a piece...

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Thank you, I really dont know how I managed w/o trim solvent before, its amazing stuff. Only issue with it.. youve got about 15-25 seconds to determine that its where you want it to be before it gets too gummy and really adheres, a one shot deal. Ill probably use clear and iron only to seal the...

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Probably old hat to most but.. ive never done this. Trim solvent to attach aileron, elevator sealing to hinge gap, probably didn't need it but, someone will ask why I didnt seal the hinges so here it is. Lay material ( monokote) in gap with control surfaces taped wide open/ full deflection and...

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Never a hijack Al, all things Jtec welcome here. Dig the plane, the lines. Colors are kinda umm ,bold , but it shows well in a video on the phone even. How much will these kits be? how does it compare to the CS in flight? And.. still doing the chipmunk ? Btw.. you zeroed the hammer @ 1:39 lol.

    Booma RC Intellimatch servo matching

    Hey, thanks. The boxes are working perfectly now, now that we have the instructions correct theyre the best product ive ever seen for servo matching EVER. Matter of fact ill be ordering another for the rudder, I see zero need to ever use a 3 point matchbox on a precision plane, ill save the old...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Awesome, me likee! I found /use some inner wheel fairings at world models for their 28% extra, for scale touch but you have to buy full set pants/ hardware etc. Kinda wasteful, , and spendy,and a lil too small. anyone know where to buy them solo or has made their own?

    STOLEN in WA State!!

    Can be sure somewhere some tweaker is trying to hook that engine onto his schwinn. Jesus man. These non humans have no idea that these " toys" can mean so much to us.. to me anyways. And arent covered by theft insurance, at least mine wont. Eyes open in Sac, Ca. Get that serial# if you can.

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Oops, read back a page or two and saw tuned pipes, was hoping someone would lead the way on a scale exhaust system, have some rough assemblies of one. figure damn the sound scores and fly whats cool. Carry on with the awesomeness and forgive my rambling.. too much caffiene today.
