RE: RC in Germany?

Hi Senf,
Thanks for your reply. I have a Futaba 9CAP. Perhaps it is possible to buy a module for the frequencies needed in Germany. What are the ones in use there? I assume they are not 72Mhtz. I...

RE: PlanesPlus "DREAM 110"

Oops! I forgot which engine went where! I'll look forward to hearing. Glad your weather finally is decent. We have had a wet and windy spring here. I wonder what your next project will be.

RE: PlanesPlus "DREAM 110"

Bob,
Did you give up on the Icepoint with ST2300? Still waiting on flight report for that one! Glad the Dream worked out well for you.

RE: Best pattern plane for OS 61

Not sure what you mean by "bendy" Renegade. Do you mean flimsy? Anyway, the original post asked for something in the $150 range and the Bravo fits the bill nicely. I did have to straighten a warp in...

RE: Best pattern plane for OS 61

Black Horse Models Bravo 303. Nobody pays any attention to this, but I have one and like it. I use a ST 90 in mine, but the OS 60 would do well. You can search here for a thread on this. Here is the...

RE: Yet another laminating question (water bending)

RE: Pattern start

I have asked for a coach and a mentor. This has not happened. If I ask for help it comes in the form of "your loops aren't round" or things like that. You say that pattern flyers won't just give out...

RE: Paint Scheme

I like the look teeth and all. I don't like how the canopy breaks into the white and blue line area though. I would consider bringing the red onto the canopy a little more to retain your white and...

RE: Securing wing halves?

Derek, the o rings are something I will pick up for sure. I also need to do the same with my stab halves, and they look handy for a lot of things...holding down mufflers, etc.

RE: Zurich Sunglasses?

OK, here's another: a piece of music wire shaped into an elongated diamond, say 1 1/2" long by 3/4", with the loose ends secured in the wing halves. Perhaps two of these per wing. The fuse would then...
