    Scale 1/3 Scale Piper Tri Pacer Build - WE Technical Service Plans

    Ordered a flash drive from the Short Wing Piper organization containing 450 drawings of the various models of short wings, PA 20 and 22. Plan to get the fuselage bathtub built and then make the landing gear. The nose wheel looks interesting. I have a set of wheel pants however they look too...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Piper Tri Pacer Build - WE Technical Service Plans

    Ran into an old acquaintance last week that is helping dispose of some modeling equipment and supplies. I bought my mill off him two years ago, he still working to clean out the space. He offered me a few work benches, I had a look at them today and have decided to take them at a very...

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    The rotary table arrived yesterday, it is a deal for $39, I might be disappointed if I paid full retail of $209 however. All in all I'm quite happy with it, heck it is only 4"! I plan to make a ring that will bolt to the table with four jack screws that will act as a four jaw chuck.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Don't sure what the problem is? Looks like you need to unsolder the old and solder on the new? You use solder wick to remove the old solder, just lay the wick on the solder joint and heat the back with an iron and it sucks the old solder right up, might take a second shot with clean wick to...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Nice, I draw them with a circle template and cut the patches out with HCS (Hand Controlled Scissors)! Got to update someday.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    On the Champ it is inside the door. At the field I rest the plane on the spinner, open the door and toggle the switch. That is the same way I tighten the bolts for the wings, plane is on the spinner.

    Looks like both of the upper switches are on one circuit board. Radio South has switches for sale if you want to DIY? It is an easy fix with the proper equipment.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I wouldn't spent too much time on the electronics, my last 2 builds I had to redo everything because the planes came out tail heavy and that was using a 7.6 pound engine. The Kavan is about 1 pound lighter.

    Scale 112” - Taylorcraft by HeyLuc & Snoopy.

    Understand, that is something we don't see in modeling, heck most of the models we fly are not even close to their bigger brother, nice work.

    Snoop, The fuselage looks like it has a converging/ diverging shape, is this correct or and optical illusion?

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    The new IBEC arrived today from AJ Aircraft. TechAero was out of stock so I ordered this one from AJ, I thought I was getting a rebranded TechAero unit however this is not the case. First off the unit is a plastic case, next thing I notice is the LED is plug in, then there are DIP switches to...
