    Getting back into it.

    Welcome back Mudball just for starters, look over your batteries and make sure they're even useable before taking them flying. check controls for freedom of movement and for security of fasteners and connections. Check plastic parts to make sure they haven't become brittle and will easily...

    Acid/Epoxy Brushes Source

    The brushes above were suggested because of the tendency for lower quality ones to come apart as you're using them to work epoxy into fiberglass cloth or other uses where the brush is doing a lot of the work and where bristles coming out can ruin an otherwise nice job. Maybe it's time for...

    Would anyone mind if I move this thread to the IMAC subforum?

    Acid/Epoxy Brushes Source

    I contacted them asking if they could make a coupon code to waive the minimum order amount. I'll likely buy a couple of boxes regardless and give them a try. Made in the US too! If/when I hear back from them I'll let you know. Bart

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

    I also need to get past the hand crank, that's a nice job you did, I might have to borrow a few of your ideas!

    Acid/Epoxy Brushes Source

    This was mentioned elsewhere and thought I'd share it as the price is reasonable and the person that provided the link expressed that the quality is good. There are a variety of sizes available. https://www.solobrushes.com/products/p-series-all-horsehair-tin-handle-acid-brushes-4162/ $18...

    Extreme Flights New Motor

    for what it's worth, if you are willing to up and leave because one post was edited to remove a link from a site that is notorious for banning our members then maybe we're not the site for you in the first place.

    Extreme Flights New Motor

    OK. We generally allow links to outside sites but when the links redirect the conversation to another site then we edit them. RCG and FG links are prohibited, not because the members there are bad but because our members are banned there when they post links to GiantScaleNews.com. They...

    Tapatalk after the upgrade...

    We are making progress, you just can't tell yet. We're waiting now on the green light to delete old files from the server for the other sites I was maintaining. Once that's done we can go ahead with upgrades and fixes. Sorry for the delay!

    Hello from Elizabeth City NC

    Building street cred' with the scale guys is VERY important to me so please don't dismiss us as a Chinese ARF 3D site. Hang around for a bit and you'll begin to appreciate the varied interests of our members but, I have to admit, the 3d thing is kind of addictive once you start trying it. It's...

    ZDZ-180 and ZDZ USA

    Thanks for the info Mark. I spoke with Joe at Joe Nall and he seemed genuinely nice. In fact, we discussed an engine giveaway promotion for later this summer when they launch their new website. :)

    Favorite RC Magazine?

    to clarify, posting specials or promotions once in a while is ok but when you're doing it every 7 to 10 days it's excessive.

    Favorite RC Magazine?

    I've considered making membership subject to a yearly fee in the range of $5 to $10 but if we lose a lot of people then we'd be worse off than when we started. But with a fee we'd have zero advertising and if you think something sucks you can say you think it sucks, nobody would be protected...

    Favorite RC Magazine?

    I've been operating under the principle that we already pay enough for the products we are using and that a community like this helps modelers while also helping vendors/manufacturers. Since it's a benefit for vendors and manufacturers to have a site such as this available for them to present...

    Favorite RC Magazine?

    I'm generation X so if there's anyone that doesn't like ads, it's me which makes me wonder how I ended up here hosting the site and selling, of all things, freakin' ads! but if you want a nicely run site, and if the vendors want a nice civil community within which to promote their products...

    Let's see your full-scale airplane!

    I had a '65 Piper Aztec for about 18 months back when I was a flight instructor. I used it to get multi-engine time. Right after getting married I got a group of guys together and we bought a Cessna 120 and that was really fun to fly. I sold my share when we moved across the state and away...

    Very nice Ray, what year was it? I have some time in Arrows, not as much as you but we had one where I taught and I enjoyed flying it.
