    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    My grandson decided to nap this morning, gave me a chance to block sand the guide coat on the cowl, started with 320 and said to myself this is silly since the cowl will get a coat of white Ekoprime, switched to 220. I'm happy with the result. 45 degrees here today to cold to paint, 72...

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

    I would seem to me that the canopy and the front section need to be separate pieces. I believe your problem occurs when the bend reverses?

    It does take some time, I strip planked the turtle deck on my Cherokee, it's the best solution when the surface is bending in two or more directions. One strip at a time!

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Now that's pretty neat, you get to see his flying on a regular basis. When I learned to fly RC some 35+ years ago I can remember my instructor harping about smooth stick movement and becoming a better flyer, not so today! I don't know how I could keep up with the stick banging corner to...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Got the aluminum parts etched and primed today with Ekopoxy, according to the manual I have 5 days to get the color on, a goal to shot for. With any luck tomorrow I will get the cowl, struts and windshield fairing sanded and primed as well as sanding the fabric parts with 320 and priming those...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    In my mind it's hard to image anything that I want to do that can't be done in OpenTX. I've read the all the post over on RCg for ETHOS and the new X20, there's a half million views for a transmitter that's not commercial yet! Hasn't changed my mind yet, sticking with Taranis Plus SE, hell I...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I had to google both Antonio and the radio. Great flying at the 2019 Joe Nall, really like the down on the deck slow roll. The radio looks wonderful, a little beyond what I would spend however. With todays modern radios, there is no difference in the capability of the bottom end verses the...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I can't wait until I get the parts painted and do another weight and balance. I'm starting to second guess the satellite receivers in the back of the plane that will not be accessible. I have an early model FrSky transmitter and thinking about replacing it. It works find, just 7 or 8 years...

    I hung the plastic today and sprayed a coat of Ekofill on the tail plane fabric parts, sand with 320 and one coat of Ekoprime and should be ready for color. The back of my garage looks like a Dexter Morgan cut room. My wife is not happy about that! Tomorrow I may etch the aluminum parts and...

    According to Horizon Hobbies web site it should be back in stock this month. Getting rid of Monokote is like throwing the baby out with the bath water IMO. I signed up for restock notification. I have a 25' roll that I need to repair my One design that some how got a foot through the fuselage...

    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    1mm is a thin? even 1/16" is a pain.

    Jet white Monokote and vinyl graphics. Built 2005-2006, needs recovered. Need to get 2 25' rolls of Jet white while it is still available.
