    Making the anti-servo control rod. Here is the full scale rod. The rod is 1/2" in diameter. Here's a short video of how it works. Turned a KS 3/16" x .049 wall tube down to .150" diameter and aluminum brazed the mounting pad using Harris 1070 al-Braze filler and Al-Braze EC flux. Used a...

    When I started my self directed IRA after I retired about 7 years ago 3D printing was a hot topic in the business world, kind a fizzled out, wonder if AI will do the same? EV were the same, took me a while to figure out what ICE stood for, now only Tesla remains as a profitable company. Back to...

    You can cut a simulated tape for around the window out of preshrunk fabric and attach with Poly Tac or Poly brush after the fabric is on.

    Have the anti-servo tab cut free. Put 2 layers of carbon on the both the trailing and leading edges. Fitted the tips on. The tab will be top hinged using two DuBro quarter scale hinges two per location. I do not plan to split the tab like the full scale but there will be four hinges in the...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    For the window area I would mask the windows, put a light coat of Poly Tac around the window, attach the fabric, preshrink the fabric, then paint the solid area around the windows with Poly Brush and trim around the windows after the Poly Brush dries.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I glue fabric on a square frame and preshrink it to 250 f then give it a light coat of Poly Brush before cutting with the pinking shears. The Poly Brush locks the pinked edges in, sometime they will unravel. Then you can iron the patches with 250 iron with worry about shrinkage.

    Since I had the center to center dimensions committed to memory, decided to cut the gasket critical dimensions on the mill and use scissors to cut the OD. 1/32" thick gasket paper was used, should provide a good seal. Used hollow punches to drill the holes, took about 20 minutes and they fit...

    The insulator is done. I glued the first one onto a piece of aluminum, when completed I was unable to break the bond, I used thin CA and probably too much, soaked it in acetone for over a hour. The second one in the photo was glued onto a piece of 1/4" plywood four small dots of medium CA, it...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    The Siato FG61TS has a funky Walbro WYD carburetor from the factory. It has the typical Walbro features such as the pump and diaphragm but the venturi looks more like a Fox 60 carb with a spray bar. There is no choke, to prime the engine the plan is to screw a long rod into the barrel and pull...

    The stabilator linkage is complete, rather than a heavy duty rod end, I used a fitting from a DuBro heavy duty adjustable control horn. Here's a short video.
