    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Ask and you shall receive. :) I have no idea how accurate they are, but I found these. They are for PPG paint. http://www.rcfaq.com/ANSWERS/COVERING/paintchart.htm Another option is to find a automotive paint store in your area and see if they can scan a sample of Ultracote for you then mix...

    Starting DA-150

    7.4 is too much for a DA ignition other than the newest one I believe.

    Starting DA-150

    Is there anyone in your area that has a known good ignition you can try? Another thing you can try is running something like a LiFe or A123 straight to the ignition without the SmartFly just to eliminate that as a potential problem. Another tip, when starting a dry engine you can loosen the big...

    That thing is really looking good! I feel your wifes pain with the cough. I had very little sleep this weekend. Evey time I was just about asleep I would cough, and it went on and on and on.

    The biggest problem is that I don't spend near enough time on it.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Well I finished covering the tail surfaces yesterday. After I covered the first half of the one I posted earlier this week I really didn't like the way I did structure in the tip, it just didn't look right covered. So, I added another rib at an angle in the front and recovered it. I'm much...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I've been eating lunch on Saturdays with a group of car guys since about 82. The group has changed some over the years, but there's about 15 of us right now with 3 Ford guys, 1 Chrysler guy, and the rest Chevy guys. The average Saturday we have about 8 people show up and somehow we all manage to...

    The KBV 72 and 82 were awesome, but the 91 that BVM sold from Nelson was a real powerhouse. 200+mph Vipers were cool to watch.

    I use their transmitter with the USB cord. I have my computer hooked to a 32 inch television and sit in my recliner to fly.:)

    Yes and I find that the dollar signs of a big gas airplane block my vision when I'm low and learning something new.;) Muscle memory is key, thinking just gets in the way. I really learned that lesson the first time I went to do a nose in hover with a helicopter. I went straight from the sim to...

    I also like RealFlight. I also tried Aerofly and Phoenix, but prefer RealFlight. It's a great training tool, especially if you don't just fly around, but instead focus on one maneuver at a time and practice that over and over for at least part of your sim time. One particularly cold snowy...

    The early Byron airplanes were eclipsed when BVM came out with his first airplanes, the Sport Shark and the Aggressor. This is an early Sport Shark built by my flying buddy Tony, and painted by me. The picture sucks since it's a scan of a Polaroid. It was powered by a K&B 72 and took off of our...

    Florida Jetweek, Wednesday Photo Dump

    Nice work Bart! I've been addicted to jets since I saw my first Bob Violett jet fly back in the ducted fan days. We were at the Byron event in Ida Grove Iowa back around 86 I believe. I saw a lot of the Byron and Jet Hanger Hobbies jets fly and they were marginal at best. Then I see this jet...
