    Didn't see the kit offered on their website, what is the span? Might be a good candidate for that 100 inline?

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Where I'm going with this is do yourself a favor and take a wing to the auto body supply store and have them color match a base coat clear coat paint. I use Omni brand, it is PPG lower cost brand, works great a RC airplane, a pint might be $30-$40 bucks for the base color. Attached are two...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    My phone said 18 f this morning, was too cold to go out and check if it was right. Weather improving this week. Might dust some primer on the cowl and start that process, there's quite a bit of massaging done to it so I expect two or three rounds of primer and sanding. This will be done with...

    Spent the better part of the day making fixtures to hold the small parts for painting. Getting warmer north of the Mason Dixon line, 60's next week! Just might get some painting done. Still need to make fixtures for the rudder and cowl.

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    Sky blue, beautiful color. I've read that Monokote is going away, sad day. In my opinion a superior product to Ultrakote. Will be using Hobby King covering film in the future.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    What part are you making for the cabin? You could end milling the part rather than face milling to improve the finish or milling in the opposite direction. I'm guessing you were climb milling where tool pulls the work into it.

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    "Don't be a fool, protect your tool" use a sock or any other old tee shirt. Years ago there was a fellow that sold home made iron socks out of a back pack at Toledo, that was his motto, $1 each.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Noticed the decimal equivalent chart on your desk. Funny thing I just downloaded this file and had it printed and laminated at Staples two weeks ago, have it hanging above the lathe, printed on legal size paper so it is easy to read. Every time I needed to drill and tap something I had to get...

    Put the stabs back on the plane this morning, all is well. Also switched the Sullivan clevises out for Robart clevises, they are shorter and allow the crimp to remain outside of fabric through the entire travel range. Made brass bearings and washers to prevent the threads from running on the...

    Made up an aluminum outlet cover, glued in place then cover with fabric reinforcement. The bottom is similar without the aluminum cover. Tomorrow will put it all back together and made sure it works.

    Got the left side stab and elevator covered with fabric today. Began tape on the stab but want to get the trim tab details worked out before taping the elevator. Cut a reinforcement for the top of the elevator out of 1/64" plywood. Preshrunk the fabric on a 1x2 wood frame. I took the fabric...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Found this on line. If you want Cub gauges you could install the four white colored gauges in the I fly Tallies housings. They are the same size as the I Fly gauges. https://www.dbalsa.com/accessories/scale_gauges.htm. My search indicated these were designed by Bob Nelitz.
