RE: Advice on building a Tipo

There's a little downturn in the fuselage bottom near the rudder hingeline that will allow the fuse to scrape the ground without the stab touching. You could theoretically then build it in a...

RE: Curare 60

Probably the most popular fiberglass Curare kits were from "Quality Line Kits", they far outnumbered the other variants (at least in our area) at the time. They also made a "Minare", which was a 45...

RE: Tower kaos .60 mod and spa compliance

RE: plans and specs

I really don't think that the Model tech version was an accurate reproduction of the earlier European kit from the 80's... I wouldn't judge the plane based on the Modeltech version, although I have...

RE: Ideas on how to build a 12' span model at 1.72 lbs?

I would look into cutting the whole thing out of light expanded bead styrofoam, and just leaving the covering or finish off. This might get you in the general area, and it might be worth cutting...

RE: SBA Speeda Ad

The prices were amazing as well, looking back on it. As a kid, I thought these things were actually expensive, but still somewhat within reach... I can't imagine a kid buying a pattern plane right...

RE: recommendations for an isocyanate free paint

Wow, thanks for the link... that stuff seems really attractive. I'll give it a try. Since it's thinned with water, I assume I won't need to use an air dryer in the line?

RE: I want to no about the MK Arrow

The Arrow was also a great F3A airplane, as it won the world champs. Speed was managed with a "constant speed prop" meaning it was variable pitch... higher pitch for horizontals, lower pitch for...

RE: MK Skystar 90 IN DA HOUSE!

MK kits were some of the most striking masterpieces of art that I have ever had the pleasure of holding. Each piece fit absolutely perfectly. My first one cost me only 159.95 for an Aurora!

RE: SPA Serior Pattern Association

RE: Any news from Hanno Prettner ?

I remember him from his domination throughout the 80's and early 90's. He is the biggest innovator in the history of pattern (in my opinion).
