    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Can you explain the use of non-hardening clay verses just using a plaster/epoxy/or hardening molding clay instead? Just about every time I read your posts I continue to learn something new. I love your builds!

    Airplane Design Fusion 360

    I'm going to start digging into your methods for designing a plane. Been thinking of making some small plank gliders to start. I ordered up a 40w laser to help cultivate the passion for creating. Thanks again for sharing!

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I always wondered why all the ARF manufactures do not use strategic kevlar on wheel pant layups. Good on you for thinking the way you do!

    Scale 112” - Taylorcraft by HeyLuc & Snoopy.

    Either one. The narrow was made so the screws didn't go into the empennage tail gear supports on the 120" TurboBushmaster. The Narrow version uses only five screws (instead of six) and the holes are canted inwards towards the centerline (so the screws go in at a bit of an angle).

    I’ve been building a lot of stuff from Angel Wing Designs this last year. The kits are quite fun to build, this one is a micro Runt (ridge runt). Built the SOAS, Micro Runt, and a micro Aquila being constructed. For stuff under 250g they are nice quality kits and did I mention fun???

    Since you said the left cylinder is getting more oil than the right, the left cylinder has no compression, and the hot ignition box makes me think of a few scenarios. 1. Ignition failing due to temperature and lack of airflow cooling. Install a blast air hose from the cowl inlet baffle for...
