    Good idea!

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    I would think that if the wall thickness is enough, the center could still be hollow. Another though, instead of a steel roll pin how about a high-density polyurethane/propylene pin. Or a smaller steel pin through its center. The plastics hold up to tremendous wear and would be substantially...

    IMAC Web site?

    It's working for me John. They are going to do a new software rollout soon. Hopefully that will fix some of these issues.

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Just measured it at 0.280"....or 7.112mm in the Kings language ;) Yeah...I read that as well. Thanks for posting the link here on GSN!!! That sounds as good as any...I really don't think it's a critical measurement except if you're wishing to get the split outside of the elevator span. Main...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    HarHarHar! This mod was done ONLY to enhance the flight qualities....which I am hoping will be great. Personally I don't think Krill should have released the planes if it wasn't correct. This one won't be flying until after winter and I've never flown another one, so I really am trusting...

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Roger....could something like this work? An inner (lower) strut sliding inside on 2 bushing in the upper strut, with slot machined to accept a steel roll pin. The roll pin captures the inner strut, limits the travel and prevents rotation. Just thinking out loud!

    Scale David Kocjančič Is The Worlds Greatest Scratch Builder PERIOD.

    No kidding! While I really gotta hand it to David for the engineering of this (as well as the entire aircraft), why not just go with the 3 servos aligned in a row?

    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    You're welcome! Tom....That's a nice paint job to replicate on your bird. In my opinion it's hard to make a WWI plane too dirty/weathered/worn. Oil streaks with the slipstream in flight and with gravity when on the ground.....ya know ya gotta DO IT!!!!!

    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    I use the capillary tube extenders and here's what works for me. First off, I tape a length of small solder to the bottle and make a tiny loop in the end that I stick the end of the extender thru. That way I can control where the darned thing goes. After each use, I'll gently tap the bottom...
