If you used balsa, did you splice pieces in order to...

RE: Sig 1/4scale C/W Cub build

Looks good VJ! I will be painting my next plane as well - getting tired of Monokote. What type of spray gun are you using? HVLP?
I need to pick up something in the near future. Thanks again.

RE: OS 46AX Shaft Play

RE: Best way to build a plane rack?

I use the self brackets with pipe isulation also. Works pretty well. The other thing I do is use a couple of #64 elastics to secure to the bracket. Just a little extra insurance.

RE: No fancy battery cycler

If you have a pack that's getting old and you are concerned about it, no big deal. just replace it, they aren't that expensive these days.
