    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    Now you get to chase down pinholes! :) A good tip for that, if your interested, is before you sand your primer take a strong flashlight and shine it across the surface at a shallow angle. Even small pinholes look like giant craters when you do that. I then used Dolphin Glaze, a polyester...

    Discussion Did Sig stop selling wood?

    Back when we had a local hobby shop. He stocked Sig and Midwest. Sig was always better. West Side Hobbies, man I miss that place.:cryin: It was run by a man named Clarence Idoux. He opened his first shop in East St. Louis Il.. in 1947. East St. Louis got so bad in the 60's he moved to...

    Take this survey and you could WIN!

    I have a friend in Detroit that went to school at Michigan Tech in the Upper Peninsula. They have Alumni contests to guess what the snow totals will be per month or year. The yearly totals are in hundreds of inches. YUK!!! Here are the totals so far this year. Sure makes me glad I live where I do.

    For Sale Composite ARF 2.3 Meter Extra 330L Airframe, LPU Swansea IL

    I'm selling my 2.3 meter Carf Extra 330L airframe to make room and help fund another project. The airplane is in excellent shape, and looks great. The airframe is empty other than switches, fuel tank and 4 JR8611 servos. It was previously powered by a DA50 and then a GP61 and flew great. The...

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    I was interested in one of the Smart Bus boxes as well. I emailed them about a month ago and they said they would be on the website in about a week, but still nothing.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Like Southern Gent said, Christmas. Plus, I was getting my Carf Extra ready to sell. I had some painting to do on it, but that's done now. I'm planning on finishing up my scratch build project before doing the Hangar 9 Extra.

    New Paint Gun advice needed

    I have a Sata NR2000 at my body shop that I've been using for 17 years. It refuses to die, and I refuse to spend $800+ replacing a gun that still works great. I'm not a fan of anything 3M after 37+ years in the body shop business. The 3M plan is to make a product, (it makes no difference what)...

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    I've worked for some really cool doctors over the years. I unfortunately can't say anything that nice about lawyers and dentists. ;) The ones I've dealt with always seem to want everything for free or beat you down in price. I had to tell an oral surgeon one time that I didn't try and talk him...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    If I had the room to keep it I might, but I unfortunately don't. Plus the engine from the Carf is already in my Pilot Edge and the batteries and receiver are going in the scratch build project.

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    I have days when I feel burned out, but since I fly with a friend all the time we keep each other motivated. We've been flying together since we started in 85 and when he quit when his kids were little, I quit as well. It just wasn't fun without having a partner in crime. When he started...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I finally got around to finishing painting the white pearl on my Carf Extra 330L so I can find it a new home. I had planned to do it two weeks ago, but between an ice storm and then bitter cold I put it off. This weekend was Christmas, but I was able to get it done Monday since the shop was...
