that looks soooo clean! Nice work!

unfortunately, heat didn’t do it either. Have it soaking in mouse milk now...fingers still crossed.

i have an OS .46FX that suffered the premature peeling cylinder wall about 15 years ago that I’d like to salvage too. Haven’t explored the cost of replacement cylinder sleeves recently, but back then, it wasn’t cost effective. That’s how I ended up with the .40.

I’ve just started getting back into RC. Bought an electric (UMX Ultrix) and the associated gear to run it and it’s been fun. However, I learned on glow and would really like to get my son involved. Seems like glow is becoming even less popular, more expensive, and more difficult to find though. Electric, specifically the heavier (more stable) stuff, is pretty expensive too.
