    Damn that Sucks for both of you. Stang it looks like the wings on yours are still in one piece so they could always be held on to as somewhere down the line someone will need a set.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    That looks great. Yeah the spiral scroll saw blades are awesome. Gotta be careful with them though as they can get away from you quick if your not used to how they work.

    Another one I have found recently is these little cheap snap blade razors from the dollar tree. Get three of them for a buck and I like them much better than a normal single edge blade for covering. They are very flexible and to me they seem to be holding the edge longer than a single edge or...

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    Dude that is killer. I really hope the field you fly at isn't hard on wheel pants as it would be crying shame to hurt those beauty's.

    I have never worked any in a situation where I have needed to stretch it at the seem but when it come to shrinking the covering I just keep the heat away from the seam. Normally I shrink the covering with the iron itself so I just make quick passes over it. If I do use the heat gun though I use...

    First up from me is a video I did about using a piece of glass to put covering togheter. I do it this way as it avoids having to cover say an entire wing with one color then having to come back over it with a second color. It also allows you to get a nice tight bond between to pieces of...

    as the title implys share your building tips. What do you do to make things easier during a build. Maybe some sweet tricks on covering an airframe or during your setup to get the plane ready to fly.

    Put three flights on my PAU Sukhoi today. Loving this plane. Not a real 3D bird but fun to fly. Beautiful pop tops, nice clean snaps, and freaking KE I love doing a KE pass with it. It does it with left stick only. Having trouble trying to get it into a flat spin but I'm used to slabs that you...

    Personally I still think black stripe but it's not my plane. Gotta go with what's right for you.

    3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

    That will look great. Just my opinion as it looks great that way but I think a black pinstripe between the yellow and red will really pop.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Will you be closing off the sides of the tunnel. I have a header and canister for my PAU Sukhoi that I need to install but have been holding off as I was thinking it would be best close the tunnel up. Just didn't know how much heat it would stop from getting to the inside of the fuse if I closed...

    Is the pipe tunnel open to the rest of the fuse???

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Yeah I thought of that but this is just a small 30cc sized plane. I may still go that route though. Will need a new cowl first though as the plane used to have a da35 on it so there is a big hole in the bottom I don't need.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    So I have a question for all you guys with twins. I need to baffle my VVRC 40cc twin once I get it installed in a 3DHS 75" Extra. It has a one piece cowl and was wondering how to go about trying to baffle it being only a one piece? Pics would be very helpful.

    They have had this issue on many other Hangar 9 planes. the P3 Bipe from what I heard flew amazing but was an absolute piece of crap in the quality of how it was put together.
