    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I take a wing or a stab to the paint store that they put the camera on. Only color they could not match was the fluorescent green from Hobby King. Can't tell you how different brands I tired. Here is the color scheme I was looking for and a photo of the model wing. Now fast forward 6 years...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I had good luck with automotive paint, cost a little more but the match is good. I get Omni paint, a little cheaper that PPG but works well. Here's a few examples, al of these are Monokote.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Arrived today, will be returned tomorrow. The Robart pin measured .180" so that's what I made them. The pins are just a hair under 6 mm, .230".

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    That's a 100L? I had thought that the DA 100's had the plugs in the middle of the cylinder head, I guess they moved the location for the L version? How much weight do you put on the stand?

    Zero is a little too cold for my liking, sun or not!

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I found several videos online, yes it does sound nice. I'm hoping my Roto 85 sounds nice, can't wait to fire it up.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    No I have not seen one, assume the engine fires alternately, would image it would sound like a 4 cylinder two stroke and much smoother than the a boxer twin? You building a war bird?

    Great flying, beautiful sky and back round. Was that a frozen lake? Looked very flat. Just how cold was it? Too cold for for sure.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I use the copper based RTV for the exhaust flanges all the time. Don't have a stand, just mount the engine in the plane and set it up in the back yard. Neighbors just love it!

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Yes but it will not be fun. I'm getting close to restarting the project, might be pretty close to finishing the punch list items on my remodeling list. Still need to install gas logs in the fireplace but I do have the logs yet. Thinking I will cover the stab, elevators and rudder first to...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    So just to be certain, you want the threaded portion plus 1/8" past turned down to the diameter of the Robart axle. How would you like the shoulder finished? Square, tapered, or radius? I'm thinking a square end would just butt the Robart housing an look good.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Sure, you want 1/4" threads turned down to 3/16"? How long do you the 3/16" area to be? Can you make a drawing? I've made 1/4" axles out of 1/4" bolts, turn the head down to 5/16" or so and make it thinner, eliminate the need for wheel collars. The other option is to use 1/4" and 7/32" KS...

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    Here are the photos of the chip guard for the crossfeed gearing, should keep all the turnings out. Here is the cam lock on the tail stock, bought from the Little Machine Shop. The parts are for a 7 x 14 lathe however the specification said it fits some 9 x20 lathes, possibly but not this one...

    What machine are you looking at? That PM 1030 a nice machine that you were looking at.

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    Just about every lathe project starts with end facing. I'm really happy with the hack I came up with. I had increased the size of the cross slide handwheel too make facing easier but have since reduced it after adding the power cross feed. I have added a chip guard to the cross feed gearing...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Robart makes great stuff, you will be happy with it. Not sure about the tail wheel, although Sig is top of the line as well. I learned a lot about building model airplanes from Sig kits I built along the way. Have a Sig Morrisey Bravo kit on the shelf that might be next up on the build list.
