RE: Cox Conquest Piston Liners

Ron is the man to go to for anything Conquest. He built several for me back when I was doing faif2d combat. Last time I ran one was 6-7 years ago on an old time stunt ship. It had a rather new...

RE: Rare Cox Engine

RE: Cox .049, OK Cub .049, Testors .049

The reason the last Testors .049 ran so well, and they are or were killers, is that Wild Bill Netzband was the main engineer. The man knows what he is doing even if he is not main stream. Bet they...

RE: Norvel .061 Problems

The Norvel revlite coating is a hard anodize. Not rocket science or maybe it is as that has been used in our military for valve coatings. It sure seems to work really well and is hard enough that...

RE: question about norvels and rubber

Some of the combat fliers use Ketchup pumps to fill the bladders. The white ones that fit on big bottles of the sauce. This works best with thin wall bladders. I have never tried this but it has...

RE: RC LiteHawk

Larry, Glad to see that you took off the good prop. I have seen 1 combat plane like this flown years ago, a VooDoo with an OS .15. It was thrilling and I am sure that this was even more so.

RE: Fabric covering

If you want to use silk try Thai silk, they are on the web. You want the 5MM haboiti silk. It only comes in white but it is 36" wide and costs about $3 a yard.

RE: How many people would buy a 1"-1 1/4" spinner?
