    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    These NOS Dubro J3 Cub wheels are going on the Champ. They are the correct diameter however the scale size is off, the Cub wheels are 8.00 x 4 while the Champ are 6.00 x 6. They still will look great. They are the old pneumatic style no longer in production.

    Thank you Jet. Trimmed the wide ends off of the trailing link tube. The plans show smashing the tube to form flat area for the upper joint, the tubing used didn't want to bend easily really was not sure the flatten area would match the lower bend so a trunnion use make just like main strut...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    What kit is it? Bought a Great Planes 33% 330l kit this past October at a swap meet. It is laser cut and looks to interlock. The instruction manual has a 2000 copy right date. The fuselage has a nice form to it rather than the slab sided planes of today. Hope that is what you are building?

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Made up a bender for the trailing link today from scrap metal. And it worked! The tube on the axle side was drilled with a F letter drill and 1/4" round bar was inserted into the tube before bending just in case any flattening occurred, but it did not. Just a few more steps and the landing...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    One of the negative aspects of being retired is that now I must pay for copies of drawings. Had the 8 1/2" x 11" blown up 400% today for a total of $7.60, not bad. It will be easier scaling the elevator rib spacing since the drawing doesn't match the full scale.

    IMAC Pattern - Cadence w/ DA 35

    I mix in 6 gram increments, 5 resin, 1 hardener, often 2 grams of hardener are added, still end up throwing a lot away. Never had a problem, of course my stuff isn't going to outer space. A gallon last a long time, the resin crystallized in the cool basement. Set the gallon container in front...

    If you elect to use Steward Systems you can finish in the house since it is water based. Only problem is that it is not shipped in winter months due to freezing. I love the smell of MEK anyway!!!!

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    The solder used for wire wrapping is called silver bearing solder, it has a low percentage of solder, trade name Stay Bright. What I call silver soldering is actually silver brazing, it melts at a slightly lower temperature than bronze brazing rod, sorry for the confusion. The rod begins to...

    Thanks, will try parchment paper in the future. The packaging tape worked well, the wings are separated and slide in freely once the packing tape was removed. Can't wait to get the Stits on it!
