RE: Do you always follow Top Flite manuals?

I always read the manuals before I start. It gives me a good idea of the flow of things and also allows time to think of where modifications might be appropriate. I usually find a mistake or two in...

RE: SIG Hog Bipe Tips??

They are great flying planes. Had one years back and just built another 2 years ago. Although I was satisfied with the original using an OS .91 FS I put a Saito 1.00 in the new one and it's a...

RE: Balsarite for Fabric

I use acetone. Takes a while to mix in if the Balsarite is really thick but it works.

RE: Flying unfinshed models

I've talked to some really good scale guys and yes, some do like to fly a new airframe before all the time-consuming details are applied. But I also worry about paint adhesion and the effect of oil...

RE: Using a sock on monokote iron

John has the right idea. You can't use too thick a material. What I did was order a commercial TopFlite sock and my wife matched the material (somekind of muslin/cotton) and then she matched the...

RE: New Saito 100 Won't Start

Sullivan also makes a NiCad screw-on unit for the Dynatron that has an output of 14.4V. Although not as powerful as 24V it makes the unit completely portable and easier to use. I've used it for...

RE: Century Jet Retracts

I bought a set of CJ's for a Top Flite GE kit but didn't get to installing and testing the retracts for about 14 months. I contacted CJ and they informed me the guarantee period had been exceeded...

RE: warbird engine sizing? 4 stroke

Although I somewhat disagree with kahloq on the effect of altitude on flying characteristics, I agree with his recommendation on a 1.20 or 1.25 on the ME-109. 'Up here' I usually go with the maximum...

RE: Vintage builders - which type of glue?

It was Ambroid for me back in the day. Couldn't beat the color and the smell! Believe it or not they still carry it in my LHS.

RE: Saito 100 or 115?

It was my impression that the Saito 1.00 actually has a displacement of 1.10? I'd like to hear more from those who have both the 1.0 and 1.15. I've got 2 1.00's and they run very well and a 1.25...

RE: Inverted saito 150

Ditto on the advice to use the OS 'F' four stroke plug and particularly on the tank line suggestion. I have Saito 1.25, 1.5 and 1.8's all mounted inverted and they run very well. In the event you...

I'll tell ya mac....it's a mystery. Sure, I can use a rattle can and do a decent job on a cowl or wheel pants but that's about it. I did have some luck brush painting with the Nelson paint line and...

You have my sympathy GB. I'm in the same boat. I keep saying someday I'll take the plunge and buy a compressor but it never happens.

RE: Your average / longest build

A tough question depending on size, complexity and the amount of detail as everyone has mentioned. I tend to keep track in actual hours rather than 'years on the bench'. A nice job on a sport plane...

RE: Solartex Questions??

Maybe it's just me but I've seen very few folks not clean a plane after a day of flying. That's what makes crashing less traumatic you save a step (and some paper towels) :)
