    Sport Racing plane for 3 cylinder Kolm engine.

    Looks like the top will be a white base with two trim colors? If so I would just cover the wing in white, perforate the white covering under the trim and iron the trim down.

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

    You did a great job removing F1, was it really necessary? It does look too bad after it was removed.

    "My rudder is half the size of my son's Kadet build. He pops in occasionally and works on his." Must be one hell of sized Kadet!

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    How the prototype flies will impact the decision. If all works out it will be a second Cherokee with more scale detail. Been looking at possible paint schemes, the one below is nice. N3557K which I modeled in 25% scale and is the plane in my avatar is now located in Punxsutawney PA about 90...

    Postman dropped off a new FrSky Taranis SE today, going on a self, my current one still works fine, wanted to get one before they are no longer available. A very capable radio for $260. The Radio has Vantac name on it , not Frsky.

    I have a 3W 56 CS never ran, 20 years old. Maybe I'll find a project some day but I doubt it!

    Sport Racing plane for 3 cylinder Kolm engine.

    My limited experience with Power Box; 1. Their servo wire is great, was sold out the last time I needed it so I ended up with Brooma RC wire, not so great. The wire is still sold out. 2. A friend has a plane that he purchased with a Mercury SR2 power expander installed, he couldn't make it work...

    Just curious why you want the GPS gain control, I assume it is adding gain as the speed decreases?

    Sport Racing plane for 3 cylinder Kolm engine.

    Value Hobby seems to be the place, I have never used it but have read good things about it. I think the late 90's was the last time I used Ultracoat on a build, much preferred Monokote but that baby got throw out with the bath water. The last wings I covered with Monokote, Byron Glasair, was...

    I don't think I will ever cover a plane again but I would give Neucover a try if the time comes, 5 meters for $18.00.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Started to sand the fuselage in the hope that a nice day shows up soon. Can't wait to get this plane in the air to see how it flies and decided what will be the next build. A while ago I made a sensor hub from a Seeeduino XIAO board, I soon discover the problem with that board is it is limited...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    The battery in Taranis 2019 SE is going bad after seven years, the transmitters are still offered by FrSky so I purchased a backup transmitter. It really does everything I need and more with no frills, $260, should be set for another 10 years.

    On to the fuel tank. Decided to use a 10 ounce Sullivan oval tank mounted in an unconventional manner. It is vertically mounted ahead of former 2. I use three line tanks and was thinking that two clunks might get tangled up so I make a two line clunk. The tank will get finished with a...
