    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Yes, but I bought the material several years ago, would image the weather has them in a tizzy! I need more tape. I think I may have pickup the material at the Toledo show and it has been many years since they last attended.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Covered the right stab today, installed the screws, the stab has rib tape on the top and bottom, and starting the rib tape on the elevator. There are 60 screws on the right side. Had to go through all 16 pages of Champ photos to find a good photo shot of the tail to determine the correct...

    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    Yes, my condolences as well. Lost my mom on 1/3/21 after four years in a dementia ward, she's much happier now that she with my dad.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    OK I got a couple of doors to paint the trim, could finish today but decided to take the day off to rest my weary bones, the gransons are coming over tomorrow at 2:00 for a sleep over so I will not get back to the paint until Tuesday. Cleaned a spot off on the bench and began the covering off...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Just like your friend, sanded and painted the cowl and canopy too many times. Considered recovering the plane so that I could match the colors. I have two 38% One Designs, one designed by Bob Godfrey, and this one was designed by Frank Knoll. Would like to get them both to the field for a fun...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I take a wing or a stab to the paint store that they put the camera on. Only color they could not match was the fluorescent green from Hobby King. Can't tell you how different brands I tired. Here is the color scheme I was looking for and a photo of the model wing. Now fast forward 6 years...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I had good luck with automotive paint, cost a little more but the match is good. I get Omni paint, a little cheaper that PPG but works well. Here's a few examples, al of these are Monokote.

    Arrived today, will be returned tomorrow. The Robart pin measured .180" so that's what I made them. The pins are just a hair under 6 mm, .230".

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    That's a 100L? I had thought that the DA 100's had the plugs in the middle of the cylinder head, I guess they moved the location for the L version? How much weight do you put on the stand?

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I found several videos online, yes it does sound nice. I'm hoping my Roto 85 sounds nice, can't wait to fire it up.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    No I have not seen one, assume the engine fires alternately, would image it would sound like a 4 cylinder two stroke and much smoother than the a boxer twin? You building a war bird?

    Great flying, beautiful sky and back round. Was that a frozen lake? Looked very flat. Just how cold was it? Too cold for for sure.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I use the copper based RTV for the exhaust flanges all the time. Don't have a stand, just mount the engine in the plane and set it up in the back yard. Neighbors just love it!
