Reviving a long quiet thread- I understand that CH Ignitions was taken over by someone (Adrian??), but the web site has been "undergoing maintenance" for a while. Any word on what is happening?

RE: Making Balsa USA Eindecker 40 more scale?

Nicely done!!

Where did you get the metal cowl? Any comments about how you did the "engine turning"? Did you use the dremel brush in a drill with steel wool trick, or something helse?

RE: Making Balsa USA Eindecker 40 more scale?

OK- so our disagreement isn't great- it's about the details of the brushing- the shape of the individual elements and the way that they are arranged overall. Do you have a good source for what that...

RE: Making Balsa USA Eindecker 40 more scale?

A wonderful idea- bashing a BUSA kit into something that looks a bit more like the real thing. I did it, and am eager to repair it and get it back into the air- dumb thumbs!!

RE: Fokker Eindecker 90 by Balsa USA ?

I hope that you go ahead and build it. We have two in my family and enjoy them very much. They are lovely, docile, fliers when powered by gas 20 - 26 cc engines, and can be tossed around a bit if...

RE: Model identification- Fournier RF5 1.55m ws?

RE: About 2.4 GZ equipment
