    Fail Safe Question

    My plane is never in an "unkown" situation. I put other surfaces to last known. That way the plane does what it was doing at idle. Now what is uknown is what I might crash into. Only time I worry about people is approaches and IMAC. There are maneuvers that point you at the fence.

    Fail Safe Question

    I've always done idle. Just a personal preference. Normally a "glitch" or "hold" is temporary and I prefer my engine not to die so I have a chance to setup for a more comfortable landing.

    How to dye epoxy??

    I've had good luck using 3M electrical, vinyl or small covering over the top of epoxy (if its smooth). Red is tough color to match!!

    3D Frankenstein Edge 540!

    I know that I have to rip out the phenolic in the fuse and replace as the AT tube is thicker than Pilot or PAU and that allows me to ensure the incidence is right as well. Its a project for a touch later as I have some other builds infront but I want to use my BME100 I have for my FW190 to...

    3D Frankenstein Edge 540!

    So I have an older Aerotech Edge 540 that the wings are messed up. I had an engine throw a prop and the motor departed the plane right through the cowl and the prop went through a wing. Somehow I managed to save the plane and the engine held on by the sparkplug wires (since replaced the...

    Unit: 2./Versuchsverband OKL Serial: T9+LK Captured by Germans. It was probably used for several reconnaissance missions over England just before the D-Day invasion. It was recaptured by US troops in Gottingen in 1944 when the Germans were forced to make a rapid withdrawal to Bad Worlshofen. The...

    Share your Trailer Ideas Here

    If you can't afford real thing Diamond plate............they do make vinyl diamond plate. It even has ridges in it so looks like the real thing! I put this on the outside of the front wedge of one of my old 4x10 first trailer because the paint was horrible in that spot.

    Scale Tom's P-47 and Fokker D-VII update thread

    I wish I had the time Tom does to build. Maybe my FW-190 would be done. I should just send everything to him and have him do it.....for free of course.

    Scale Tom's P-47 and Fokker D-VII update thread

    Thanks for the props on my Jug. It was my first scale build and looks pretty good for it being the first. I hope to have my job situation, situated soon so I can take the time and $$ to repair my hangar damage. I'll post some of the build pics later this week
