RE: Why do you build and or scratch build?

I enjoy building as much as flying. I started at a time when r/c kits were rare and expensive. To this day, I build my own cars, guns, computers, homes, whatever I can. As far as ARFs go, I guess if...

RE: Torque Rods! Love 'em or hate 'em....

RE: Heads up elevator failure JetLegent Hawk

If you are worrying about critical structure failures, rather than photographing or x-raying an arf, why not just build it yourself? I have built all of my own planes, never had a problem. Not...

RE: MonoKote will not shrink

The new Monokote is expensive junk. It will not shrink aat all. If you do put heat to it, it just wrinkles, and burns. The sad part is TopFlite won't acknoweledge they have a problem, but rather try...

RE: Glassing with Deft 101

Thanks again Gene, please keep us posted about the weight gain if you can. I always thought fiberglass had to be used with polyester resin, or epoxy of some sort. LOVE the calender!

RE: Airplanes, Airplanes, Airplanes!!!

RE: Sukhoi 29
