    Wanted Sea Fury, Direct Connection R/C

    Hey guy's, I am getting back on it. I have some new resin and I will be finishing the mold for the cowling and if any one is interested in getting one I'm sure we can deal. I hope to be posting again later today, thanks for the interest!

    Glad you found it a home, When they don't get finished and they languish they tend to accumulate shop rash, and then sometimes they end up in the burn pile.

    Worked it over with 150 grit. I was able to knock the horns off those out of round areas more than I thought I could. Here is an absolute gem of a spraygun that I bought last year. I've always used the little SATA HVLP guns but they are getting super expensive (not like they were cheap before)...

    I got the cement filling into it early this morning, I'll give it a sanding and then shoot a thick coat of 2K on it later. I forgot how warm that epoxy cement gets as it hardens, not so hot that it melts anything, but pretty warm.

    Alert! Is HOBBICO Next? Hobbico files for bankruptcy

    I feel bad for some of these companies but when this began it started with the importation of the cheap Chinese ARF's slowly killing off the traditional kit built aircraft. I think that part of the reason this happened is because there was a fundamental misunderstanding of the R/C hobby at the...

    Wanted Sea Fury, Direct Connection R/C

    Hey I understand, I really appreciate you offering to help! Thank you! Spread the word somebody may have one or know where one is at. This was one of those "someday I'm going to have one" kits so I was really disappointed to discover the missing parts. Could you tell me if the ply formers came...

    I need the following F3B F4B F6B F7B WS What I think happened is somebody started to build mine and then sold it because those are all the parts you would have used to begin construction.

    Hey guy's, does anybody have one of these unbuilt in their kit collection? I don't need another one but what I do desperately need is for someone who does have one to trace 5 of the ply parts onto paper for me. I bought one from an ebay seller that turned out to be incomplete, not terribly but a...

    What's great is you spoke out about your concerns and as far as I know every one who disagreed with you was polite. I learned what others experienced using OS engines. I have some electric stuff but I will always use glow or gasoline as my main power sources so hearing about them will always...
