RE: Fiberglass weight gain

I'm not sure that polycrylic is waterbased polyurathane. I have found what I like and have stuck to it. Let us know how it works on a test scrap.

I do prefer semigloss as you don't then have to...

RE: Fiberglass weight gain

The Minwax is a waterbased polyurathane that is a lot easier and safer to use for many applications such as glassing wings and fuses.

RE: How Do I Cover Byron Ryan Foam Wings?

You can sheet with balsa using many of the methods such as poly glue, etc. You could glass over that and prime/paint for a really nice finish.

Or you can vaccum bag fiberglass directly over the...

RE: What are the steps to paint in the mold?

Awesome, thanks.

Patience is something that I am constantly struggling with.

It pays off though when a part comes out nice.

RE: What are the steps to paint in the mold?

Great, thanks for the tips.

I have fuelproof dope, could I use that as clear or will it chew up the wax?

I saw somewhere that liquid mask like RC car guys use was used with fantastic...

I figured a gentle hand with an airbrush would be the ticket.

RE: Which type of fiberglass?

What size plane are you building? Is it a hollow fuse constructed from a female mold layup or are you glassing over something?

The final projected weight and its use will determine what type of...

RE: Trying to estimate strength vs weight.

Thanks for the advice. I've got my open B stuff figured out. Here on the West Coast we have designed a plane called the Mako which is proving to be great so far. Details are on the RCCA forum.

RE: Cannon Powershot A75

I have an A85 which is close enough to answer your question. Basically, it will capture the images at a few frames a second, it is not even close to seamless video but it will do if you just need to...

RE: Film covering a sheeted foam wing?

The one other trick I would suggest is picking up a WoodPecker. It's 5 wheels with these gnarly little spikes on them, you run it over the balsa and it creates little pockets. That way you eliminate...

RE: Heed help

CG is definitely it but also you need to see what your engine incidence is and what your elevon reflex is. As a very general rule your elevons should have about 1/32" or 1/16" up reflex. Your engine...

RE: 2548 builders - what planes have u built!

I'll be slamming together TA-152's. That way if there is ever a 2610 event, the plane is a crossover and all I need to swap is the muffler.

Just me .02. I'm still a scale diehard at heart.

RE: I'm trying to join 2 carbon fiber rods. Help!

I did a quick search and couldn't find any cf rods with 1/4" ID and titanium is too pricey.

Would it be possible to make my own tube out of CF tow or weave? My first attempt was wrapping and I...
