    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    With the torque of today's servos, there's really no need for ganging. I say go for it.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Not a bad idea. From the BUSA Super Cub. The tiller hardware was provided with the kit, it works very well.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    There are simulated stitches done with a T pin and white glue. If you click on the photo and zoom in you can just see the stitches. That wing was painted however it fish eyed. I removed the covering and reinstalled, the wings are sprayed with Poly Spray silver now. I didn't want to put the...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Yes it does. The card is old, I believe they are located in California? I thought most were leaving CA and going to TX and Fl? For 33% I use 3/4" for the ribs, 1" for longeron reinforcement and edges, and 2" for wing leading edges. You buy the tapes the same place you can get the fabric and...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    F&M Enterprises I found the 3 mm shears on Amazon and have them on order. I looked for quite a while for shears with smaller pinks but never could find anything. I even spoke with Chip Mull at the Toledo show, he said that had a pair that he had bought at an event in Las Vegas but could never...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    The pinking tape sold by F&M is just about 3 mm, would be great for making odd sized patches and such. Just wondering why you are cutting the tape rather than buying from F&M? Each rib takes about 4' of tape, that is a lot of cutting.

    Scale Mick Reeves 1/3 scale Tiger Moth

    No I have the boxer. I see they offer two versions of the inline, 180 degree firing and 270 degree. Apparently the 270 degree provides a classic warbird sound.

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

    I found 8" x 8" x 1/4" steel plate on Ebay today for about $8 each, bought two to mount the grinder on the work bench. It will be hinged so that it swings down when not in use. Thank you David for getting me moving.

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

    I was at Harbor Freight yesterday looking at their grinder stand, $69. My 6" grinder is sitting on the floor, when I need to use it I set it on a stool, need to get it mounted.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Got a little time yesterday on the Champ, working on the landing gear. As previously posted the new gear is 3/4" longer. The original design used 4-40 screws as the hinge pins and hinged portion was riding on the threads, never cared for that so I decided to fit the main struts with 1/4" brass...

    PM Research Mini Engine Lathe Build

    I sent it you in a conversation, I would image it is copywrite. I used brass bars from McMaster Carr, 1/4" x 6" and 3/8" X 6". when the angle was milled the the bars warped as the outer skin was removed. Took some time messing with them taking alternate cuts. If I knew then I would have...
