Interesting you brought up Ambroid glue. I've been told that 3rivers Archery Nitrocellulose glue is the closest you're going to find resembling Ambroid. I bought a can but haven't cracked the can...

Well my Great Planes Super Sporster is almost 15 pounds. I got over $1000 into it. Do you think two fingers to check the balance on a plane method is appropriate? Maybe for your planes. It's just...

I agree with Lnewqban. The Vanessa rig will point to where the CG is if properly setup. I was able to use a small bubble level on on my horizontal stabilizer. What is important is that you have...

Man, I can relate. For me two divorces, always went back to my passion of model airplane building. I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer. I don't know what your previous flying experience is, that is...

Sure. I recently gave away my Kadet Senior. But the Mark 2 is also good. What engine/motor are you putting into it?

Don't they get fuel saturated or brittle? I used cloth hinges on my first 1/2'As back in the '60. But those planes didn't last long. The hinge material supplied in Carl Goldberg kits I believe was...

Dave, that's a beautiful looking Twister. I don't see it in your photos but you may want to add a fairlead (some have even just used a cotter pin) to prevent the pushrod from the flap to the...

So I get a little lost in your explanation of the hinge straps. Are those straps once sealed/adhered together (one up, one down, 1/4" overlap) a 1/2" wide by 3 3/4" long? Once applied it would go...

I learned how to fly on Cox Pt-19. Wouldn't it be a kick if it was again released. Maybe larger, a lighter material. I blew the chance when Horizon released a RC Pt-19. A nice plan might be the...
