Status: offline 		I recieved my Curare "Semi Kit" from PastTime Hobbies...What a Really nice looking set of Lazer Cut Parts!! The Print is Awesome!! (From what I can tell from the Quick Look Over I gave it)...I'm really looking forward to this one...

I was wondering if you guys may like a build thread?? I can take some shots along the way...I'm sure I'll have to pick you all's brains a bit anyway...

I have a YS .61 Side Exhaust allocated for this one...But...The thought is crossing my mind to get one of the Webra Speed .61 F's currently avaliable...I just think that would be kinda Kewl and keeping with Hanno's origional...

Have Fun...

Chuck

good luck with it, and don't forget to place some pics starting from zero till it's build , and how the maiden went -in some weeks or months-.

I was actually thinking about trying to cut a set myself...Have yet to attempt any...(On my List-O-Things to learn how to do..he he)...But since "Time" was kinda a problem at the moment I had decided to just do the Build-Up Wing for now and try a set of foam core's later...

Dunno how to Thank You on this one?? Actually...Ck P.M's...

Have Fun!!

I also have one of these on order, Bill is having trouble with plywood, but said mine should be in the mail by next week! Cannot wait. I'd also like a build thread and will add pictures of my own. I'm lucky enough to live in Tucson and know Bill Hemple (original Curare design and kitter). So I have great access to Bill for questions. FYI, he has been toying with kitting up the originals again with foam cores. Problem is he is very busy with many projects and supporting Bill Jr.

I came across an old thread a long time ago...I bookmarked it..he he:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4619185/anchors_4619185/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#4619185

I read a bit in that thread where they were talking about throwing away the Curare, Arrow and Majic Molds...I was like Noooooooo!!

So Bill Hemple Sr. is the Hobby Barn dude huh....Yeah..I can see where he may be busy...he he

I hope he doesn't/didn't throw the molds away...

Anyhow..I look forward to your input on the Curare build!! I my need your help along the way..he he

Have Fun...

Chuck

Talking about Webra, the oldies still work fantastical ( I have about 4 of them )
Going from the blackhead to the speed and the 'magic type', with the exhaust behind the cylinder .
The blackhead can get a Phantom topp model in the air, but once the speed drops....... you'll have to make a helicopter landing.... running a 10 x 8 , which is ofcourse, looking to it's + 4kg weight to small, unfortunately can't get a bigger propeller on it, even with the 10 x 8 it's a lawnmower
Man I'm curious to get the rear exhaust running in a Magic

Status: offline 		Still waiting on UPS, but in the mean time, I saw an add for electric retracts about a month or 2 ago and now I cannot find it (magazines) or on the web. They were servo/retract in one unit, just screw them in & connect both to gear channel via Y cable. If anyone has seen these or knows who the manufacturer is please let me know.
