Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build
More scale details. Made a pitot tube assembly out of 3/32" aluminum TIG filler wire and a few piece of brass sheet. I drilled the velocity tube and put a taper it to make it look like a tube. I think I will center punch the static tube and color the marks with black the simulate holes. Also...- TonyHallo

Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build
The spinner came out nice, much more scale looking. We'll see how the judges pick it apart because it is still a little larger than scale. It looks like the prop hubs on on models are larger than the full scale props so it going to look OK I hope! Polished with 220, 400, 800, 1200, 1500...- TonyHallo

Flight line on Saturday during the event. I had a great time talking with other fliers with similar interests. Jeff Clombs flew in with the Rans M21 that he build. Jeff was pattern guy back in the day, I remember seeing him in a booth at Toledo cutting foam cores with a CNC hot wire cutter...- TonyHallo

Scale BUSA Super Cub
Aero Graphics cut the NO STEP, DO NOT PUSH, and NO HOLD graphics from their standard set of exterior graphics for the Super Cub. I know where the NO STEP goes, anyone have an idea where the rest belong? Only exterior I found on the Super Cub drawing site were for a military PA18.- TonyHallo

Scale BUSA Super Cub
The AR remote switch worked a few times then quit. I opened the fab and found the 27A 12v battery at 8 volts. Amazon delivered this today. Never heard of this size battery before, half the size of a AAA.- TonyHallo

Heading out to Barber Airport in Alliance OH this morning for an abbreviated Warbirds Over Alliance event. The event is canceled on Sunday and rain is coming latter today. Looks like the wind is 7 to 14 MPH so I don't how much flying I will get in, maybe more BS than flying. It's about 90...- TonyHallo
