RE: Think you can get buy without one......think again

wouldn't it be possible to test the battery by hooking up the multimeter through the charge jack, have the reciever turned on and operate the servos, thereby getting a read on the battery under load.

RE: Which Thickness of Coroplast ????

I don't think it is wise to use just coroplast for your engine mount. I don't think you will ever get the strength or rigidity from coroplast that you will need for the engine mount. You should use...

RE: gluing coro

Flashing inside really isn't that big of a deal. I build my whole spad inside using my torch. As a matter of a fact I even built it on the dining room table and my wife didn't even kill me.

RE: Tower codes discount #2 complaint

RE: .15 size SPAD w/ 30 inch span?

It is probably possible, you just have to be very conscious of what materials you use. Make sure you use 2mil coro. With the smaller wing and shorter fuse, you might be able to get the 2lbs. Also...

RE: .15 size SPAD w/ 30 inch span?

You can adjust the plans to fit your needs. There is someone on the spadworld forums trying to get a .049 Cox engine to fly a spad. I am sure he will do it. Anyway, you can scale down the plans to...

I guess if he doesn't sign it within a certain amount of time it will become law.

RE: Some Loose spots

you can use a heat gun to get out the wrinkles. Shouldn't hurt anything at all, just be careful not to melt the stuff, just warm it up so that it shrinks.
