    Servo Arms

    If it has a gas engine on it I use aluminum, always SWB (personal preference).

    Club flying contest?

    We also did the bomb drop but called it the Egg Drop. Give everyone a foam cup, 10 rubber bands and 4 popsicle sticks. Then they get 20 minutes to come up with a contraption to hold the cup/egg on the airplane. Put a 5 gallon bucket in the field with 2 chalk rings around it at 10 and 30...

    Club flying contest?

    We did the balloon pop a few times. Get some helium filled balloons and tie them to a couple of 2x4's and put them on the far side of the runway, then every one gets 3 passes or 5 minutes to cut balloons free of pop them. A popped balloon is 3 points A balloon that is cut free is 2 points A...

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    Yep it's the Sig kit, dad and his friend just out of the blue one day decided they wanted to do UC again. The Pitts is the Trueworthy 35%, it's been around the mill. As far as I can tell I'm the 4th owner, it's had 3 or 4 different looks also. Here are a couple pics I have of it when it was...

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    Another quick thing I picked up from doing car body work to help get large sheeted areas flat. If you have a sheeted wing, such as a foam core wing, fog some black spray paint on the wing before you start sanding. FOG is the key word, you just want enough on it to see speckles of paint. Then...

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    I'll be covering a line-control Chipmunk for my dad in a few weeks, I'll get a tennis ball and demonstrate. Actually I think anybody can do it, it just takes a lot of film!! Lol

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    The last grit I use is 220, most important thing is to ALWAYS use a block when you are doing finish sanding. Fingers put grooves in the wood. As for dust removal, before I do anything when I feel I am ready to start covering I take a couple of days and scrub the WHOLE shop from floor to...

    Best advice you'll ever get about using film.... IT"S NOT CHEAP TO GET A GOOD JOB! If you don't like it, pull it off and do it again.

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    I use a Top Flight iron and heat gun and I have a laser thermometer that I use to set temps. And I have a trick to set the temp of a heat gun, get a helper to run the thermometer. Turn the heat gun on and let it warm up then face it at a piece of film stuck on a piece of wood and count to 5...

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    I always go for MonoKote. MonoKote has a higher application temperature, 275-300 compared to 215-230 for Ultracote. This results is less wrinkles after the plane sits out in the sun all day. Why people have such a hard time conforming MonoKote to corners is the small window in temps between...

    When I did my bathroom it literally took an hour to lay (only 10x8). The stuff is amazing, I know I'll spend more time prepping than actually laying it.
