    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    I need to make new fairings after increasing the size of the wing roots. I was able to reuse the aft sections of the fairings and only needed to make new front sections. A new center top window was cut from polycarbonate that was left over, it is more scratch resistant than the PETG provided...

    Well your pool season is winding down but not feel bad it's flying season. Here in the north east flying season is winding down which brings building season. But beer drinking season is all year long! Oh and did I mention Miller Lite?

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

    I never seen a vent line that affected the operation unless it was intentionally plugged. My friend hated the smell of gas in his car so he would plug the vent line, one day he forgot to remove it and plane quit in the air.

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    I bought the glue at the Toledo show years ago ironically from a Canadian vendor on the floor, don't remember who. I thought it would replace CA, for regular building I found it was no different than regular wood glue because it takes 20 minutes to set, so I never really used it. For some...

    Radio install is completed. The Zepsus magnetic switch has two separate switch circuits controlled by one magnet. The switch is located under the battery access cover as seen on top of the fuselage in the last photo. I plan to drill a small hole so that the cover will not need removed between...

    I've been working on the radio install the past few days, the original radio installed during the build was a PCM Airtonics receiver using 7.2 volt Nickel Metal batteries. The current install is a little more up to date. I am waiting on diodes for the power feed to the high voltage IBEC...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Not a problem, and yes all mu future builds will incorporate voltage monitoring downstream of the IBEC. This is my actual second failure, last year I had an IBEC that provided expected open circuit voltage however dropped to 1 volt when plugged into the ignition module.

    I use CA on a limited basis. If there are many areas, I'll hit them and leave the area. I normally use Titebond glues.
