RE: My First Kit plane can anybody help me pick one

RE: Four Star 60 Turtle Deck Sheeting

I did not need to steam the thin plywood. In fact, it is so thin that I cut the curve for the cockpit with a pair of scissors. It lays over the complete turtle deck with the ease of the cardboard...

RE: Four Star 60 Turtle Deck Sheeting

I went ahead and used the 1/64th ply and 30 minute epoxy to sheet the turtle deck. I then spread wax paper over the sheeting and used one of the cardboard patterns I had cut to cover the top - then...

RE: Four Star 60 Turtle Deck Sheeting

RE: what is 1/2 A - stupid question

RE: Micro FM Receivers for 1/2A Planes

Everyone, thanks for the information. Bruce, you told me what I needed to know - "pay me now or pay me later". I'll look at the FMA M5 and also look some more at the 555 and try to find a deal some...
