RE: How Did You Learn To Fly R/C

Grew up next to a flying farmer and watched him take off and land over our farm house as a child. He'd wave to me as he flew over and eventually took me for rides as I got a bit older. I was...

RE: Minnflyer (AKA Mike Buzzeo) has unexpectedly passed away

This was truly a shock. Mike flew with us in Alexandria at our indoor venue just two weeks ago. I can't believe he's gone. He was a great guy and will be sorely missed.

I believe Mike would...

RE: Another L/E Sheeting Idea

I use a 4 foot "Easy Touch" sanding bar (Tower Hobbies) on planes of roughly 8 ft span or less. The sandpaper keeps the bar from sliding without marring the wood, and also allows some pressure to...

RE: Save Your Cowl!

Another technique that works well for me is to glue CA type hinges, like Sig's Easy Hnges, to the inside of the cowling to reinforce the holes. Then lightly coat the side of the hinge facing the...

I know it's been a few months since you asked for shelf heights, but I'll answer anyway. My lower shelf is 34" high as measured to the bottom of the cross pieces that support the...

RE: Who here has went from sim to flying with no instructor?

Many years ago, long before simulators and very much out of necessity, I taught myself to fly RC on a Goldberg Sr. Falcon, with no instructor. I had flown Control Line for a few years prior to that,...

RE: Paint Removal

Brake fluid has a similar effect. I've used it over the years as a safe way to strip paint from cowls and heli canopies when needed. It won't harm fiberglass, epoxy-glass, or gelcoat. It's...

RE: Engine for 30% Carden Cap 232

If you want absolutely insane power, the BME 102 just fits in the cowl without having to cut any holes for plugs, etc. and the weight is basically the same as the 3W70b2 or Brison 4.8 twins. I guess...

RE: Is the rubber band method to hold wing halves on a 1/3 size Cap OK?

Volfy's cable tie idea works very well, actually. I've since sold the Carden to a friend, and replaced it with a H9 CAP. The new CAP uses eyelets in the wing roots and long cable ties to secure...

RE: Is the rubber band method to hold wing halves on a 1/3 size Cap OK?

After seeing testimonials of others successfully using the rubberband method, I tried it on a 30% Carden CAP. Won't ever do that again! Worked great for about 30 flights, then, during a snaproll,...

What size JMBs do I need to outfit a DA 150? I'm wondering if the 80-70-300 will be too restrictive. I was told the 80-70-400 is no longer available. Do I need to go to the lager 3" diameter cans?...
