    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    It is amazing how hard water can be!! Back to work!!! I have the wings about ready to cover, servos mounted, linkage complete, etc. I decided to use the original Steward System paint for the project and was even happier when I discovered they have the original colors available. I ordered a...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Sorry to hear about your problem as well. I did find a RC Guys Cessna 150 Aerobat at AMR RC in stock. I called RC Guys and Dan said the factory in China that made their planes closed up and the planes are no longer available. AMR had three 150's in stock. should be here on Monday. The Cessna...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Been working on the aileron hinging, once this is completed I hope to sand the wings and cover with Stits fabric. Will post a photo or two later. On the flip side I lost the Cessna float plane on the maiden flight due to faulty plug on the switch. I had bought several sets of knockoff Deans...

    And you could ditch the pesky Tech Aero IBEC and add a 1200ma nicad pack!

    I think most published weights are stretch targets. What 2 1/2 pounds would you like to remove?

    Looks like he got his money out of that set of pads!

    Got the fuselage painted white and the windows cut, fit and glued in place. I'm not putting any trim colors on now, hoping to get the plane ready for Saturday. Picked up these Savox SG1210SG water proof servos for the float rudders at Joe Nall last year, show special for $50 each. The servos...

    Is there a reason for the rounded edge on the stands or is that what was available?

    Been working on this plane since 2004. I'm painting with latex. I painted the fuselage about 4 years ago and the base white pulled off with the trim masking tape. Sanded the latex down with 80 grit today and put on two coats of Zinsser primer. Will hopefully get the flat black sprayed on the...

    Don't you hate covering when the hinges are glued in? Looks like there are plenty installed as well!

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

    I put three flights on it today, flies just as bad as I remember. I think it would fly better with a longer tail moment. I guess I need to get use to it again. Been flying the Piper Cherokee for the past three seasons, not a lot of excitement with it.

    Decided to get out my 14 year old Christen Eagle, ignition batteries were bad. Rather than put a new pack in decided to go the AeroTech IBEC route. This resulted in a new receiver and XPS x10 expander board. The surface servos are Hitec 5945's with a 5955 on the rudder. The plane was built...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    I think the end use would determine to need. If one were making wing skins for a foam core wing then I feel planing would be a good choice, glue all the planed sides down and used the unplaned side for gluing. If cutting slabs 3/8" to make sticks, probably not as important.
