Yeah,
I've got a Tsunami with a Rossi .40 w/Tuned Pipe. Twice now, this screamer has shed it's Ultracote. Once was very violent, it originated at the cutout for the LG mount, and tore back to the...

I hope I'm mis-reading your post. 3 shear webs is overkill.

Given that I am misreading your post, then here's my answer, and why: I place them

Spartksaflyin,
I'm on my second rebuild of my Tsunami, currently building w/ribs re-drawn from the crashed plane. Could you see to it that I get a copy of yours? It'd save me much trouble. I...

Nodda newbie question, flying over pits

RJChip,
' What I intended to refer to is that there isn't much fruit to be gotten over debating all of these possible scenarios'

You're right.

I don't mean to nitpick, and didn't see it as such. But just look at the variety of answers to this somewhat simple question. There are those that are sure that a plane right over your...

Nodda newbie question, flying over pits

BasinBum,
I think you are right, no one has pointed out how a plane 50' in the air doing 80+ mph is going to end up in the pits from directly overhead. The only way I see this happening is if the...

Cost to scratch build

ProfLooney,
Thanks, now I know. Does seem kinda silly, since scratch-building doesn't accurately cover the difference in difficulty encountered when 'scratching' a stik-plane vs a scale F-4.

Bill,
Then what is building from someone else's plans?

I'm not offended in any way, and couldn't really care less, but would like to know how to describe what I do.

gjs,
Sure, that's another great thing about doing it yourself:
You can do it the way you want, build as cheaply as you want. Alternatively, you could build a scale plane that you couldn't afford...

iFLYrc_Vic,
I understand your points.
Let me add that your time is worth what someone else is willing to pay, not you.
But NO, I would not sell you my plane for the same cost as the ARF. I...

Cost to scratch build

iFLYrc_Vic,
I don't count labor to build planes. It's not fair, it's a crazy idea, and I don't care.

It's not fair: I can build faster than some, slower than others; better than some.

It's a...

This is going to be like the ARF vs Kit debate, but I gotta say it:

Guys,
I've seen several remarks from the ARF crowd about "I couldn't scratch-build one for that price", or maybe it was "build a kit for that price."

Either way, has anyone ever kept track,...

bad mixed epoxy

lennyk,
try a little heat; not too much, I find that a 60w bulb in a silver fixture focuses enough heat to help speed drying, curing, etc.

I realize that the flutter was the source of the failure. As I pointed out, I'd replaced the servos because the old ones were sloppy, and flutter had developed where none had been before.
