    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    It was USC Pronto Kombi Spot Putty. Fine for small pinholes, but obviously not good even for small overlap seams on fabric.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I always preach using only 2 part catalyzed products when painting. They only singe part product I use is the SEM Self Etch primer I talked about. Well, this is exactly what happens when I don't follow my own advice. The Lacquer based spot putty I used to get rid of some seems cracked. So...

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Glad to hear your getting the ball rolling. My favorite CA of all time was Hot Stuff from Satellite City from back in the day. CA worked better back then in my opinion, one that's shared by others I know that have been at it a while. You can always tell a guy that's been around for a long time...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    We had a guy yesterday that brought an 8 cell airplane and only 5 cell batteries, but the wierdest thing yesterday was an invasion of Japanese Beatles. Those things were everywhere in the sun, and would swarm you while you were flying. They never came into the shaded area where we have picnic...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    It was pretty miserable here today. Hot and humid with very little breeze and a ridiculous number of flying critters. I thought I was going to melt at the field (yes I'm a sissy). Out of 110 members there was a total of 5 people there, and my flying buddy Tony and I were the only two that flew.

    With any luck, and a little ambition, I should have it ready for color by the end of next weekend. I might not be able to spray it for awhile, but we'll see.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Went to the shop this afternoon and reprimed the wings. The day I primed everything I ran out of activator for the primer and was only able to get one coat on the wings, so today I fixed that. I also did a little filling and sanding on the more obvious seems before I primed.

    I was going to take a couple helicopters to my clubs Electric Fly-In today, but the heat and humidity kept me away. So, I went the the shop and primed the wings for my scratch build project.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    We've been using it for a long time at work and it's been very handy. It's not made to do any filling, but it will fill light sanding scratches. Being self-etching, it sticks great to most anything especially metal, plus comes in several colors.
