3D 73" AJ Laser 230Z

[Tseres]

I use a belt sander and a round file and a half round file. Then sand the edge with some emery cloth. I make a template from poster board to fit around the prop I'm using then Transfer the cutout from the template to the spinner. I get close with the belt sander and finish it off with the files.

The balancer was bought from G-Pete on RCU. Don't know if he still messes with building them. Look up Wylie Warbirds. He would know if they are still available

This may help.

Nice job!

what grinding device do you use for fitting your spinners and who made the balancer?
I don't ever remember seeing a cut that perfect on a aluminum spinner.
No doubt that is one awesome looking bird you have there.
Enjoy the maiden!

Don't want to step on Toms toes here with a balancer. But a friend of mine makes a balancer similar to the PSP, I think it is. Sells them for much less than a PSP.

Wish I had seen the post earlier, as I was at home on a check up and could have taken a couple of pics of it. But I will be back up there later this week for a grass cutting and will snag a couple of pics then, if interested?? PM me for name in info. I will check and see if he has any made up in advance and if he will ship too.

No problem Bunky. Your not stepping on my toes. Info is info. I didn't know about them myself... Post some pictures and info when you can.

Finally able to get back up to the house and snap a couple of quick shots of this balancer. It is well built, and uses carriage bolts and wing nuts for attachment.

It is fully adjustable for any size fuselage width.

I dont know what he sells them for, as Im a friend, and you know.... The buddy discount.

Enjoy!

I'm back from Nall. AJ brought me a canopy and I mounted it. I also put 2 4-40 screws in there to help hold the canopy. Have the plane fixed up and ready to go again. Had transmitter issues so I put my Spectrum in there. I'll have it up in the air before the week is up.

Just ordered one myself, looking forward to the build, gonna utilize some of your techniques!

Can I ask you what size the ball links are in the kit? I still need to order horns for my 7955's and I was going to get the 4-40's but am going to hold off. I'd rather not have to replace the links if possible. Thanks in advance...Jake
