    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    OK I understand now, didn't realize the ailerons were foam, you changed to foam?

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    I needed a break from the home remodeling and economy revitalization project for some fun work. Been thinking about adding powered crossfeed to my 9x20 lathe. I extended the worm gear shaft that turns when the feed screw is turning, built a gear train up to the crossslide screw with an...

    OK but the wings are built up on this plane, no?

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    OK what was your thought process for the wings? You used epoxy for the tail surfaces, why which?

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I just take the wing to the autobody supply house and let them match the actual parts. I pretty sure latex goes on heavier than automotive paint so I don't think bleed through will be a problem. Make sure you let the primer flash off for a least seven days before putting the latex on, don't...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I've painted with latex before on glassed and primed surfaces, then buffed the paint with a buffer, came out real nice I would image one could match covering material. When painting with latex I used gloss finish paint. I normally use base coat-clear coat color matched at the auto body supply...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Should be fiberglass, not epoxy glass as well. It's hard to believe but it works, takes two people to get the covering pulled around. I covered a complete fiberglass fuselage for a friend, pretty sure it was 1/4 scale laser, that was over 25 years ago. Crank the iron all the way up and slowly...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Buy a roll of white and give it a try. It's kind of interesting, when you buy it, that's what you get, film! No carboard tube, no shrink wrap, no instructions, if you order more than roll of the same color, you get a 10 or 15 meter roll. I assume it is processed when ordered off a large roll...
