    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Should be fiberglass, not epoxy glass as well. It's hard to believe but it works, takes two people to get the covering pulled around. I covered a complete fiberglass fuselage for a friend, pretty sure it was 1/4 scale laser, that was over 25 years ago. Crank the iron all the way up and slowly...

    Never expected shipping would be so much, I guess when it crosses the border things get out of hand.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Buy a roll of white and give it a try. It's kind of interesting, when you buy it, that's what you get, film! No carboard tube, no shrink wrap, no instructions, if you order more than roll of the same color, you get a 10 or 15 meter roll. I assume it is processed when ordered off a large roll...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I used hair spray with Monokote and I think it works better, I continue to use it. I think Ultrakote sticks better without the spray but I don't like it. I'll use Monokote or Hobby King film before i'll use Ultrakote. Hobby King film is nice and cheap, like $13 for 5 meters.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    OK your plane is just about built, would you build another or past on the is plane? I have one on the shelf and really do like the fuselage scale shape rather than the slab sided birds we have today. I think if I built the kit I have a would make foam core wings just because I like them, not...

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    Had a friend that is flying the same RC Guys Cherokee as in my avatar reach out for help on his nose wheel. After a season or two the nosewheel develops excessive slop. Offered to help out so he sent the nosewheel over for repair. Gave the mill and lathe a 6 beer workout last night. I'm...

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    Picked up this ER32 collet set at Banggood for $55, reduce from $129. I have been looking at these for sometime now. This popped up on an advertisement, fractional 1/8" to 3/4", MT3 mount. Have the holder mounted in the mill, don't expect I will need to ever put a chuck or end mill holder in...
