Sanding Ailerons...

To make it easier, place you wing flat on your building board and put the aileron in place. Then sand everything to match.

Newbie.

Use any 87 - 89 octaine gasoline but mix at least 32 to 1 with a quality two stroke oil.

I use Dubro glo tanks but you must use a fuel line made for gasoline. It's available at your local hobby...

Gasoline engine starters.

OK, Just my view on the matter. The Dynatron with the Miller setup will start anything except the very largest negines. Then, if you go to 24 volts you have a good shot at even starting them. In...
