    3D Demystifying Vacuum Bagging of foam wings!!

    Hook the inlet of an air compressor to the tank. The compressed air to atmosphere. Some plumbing and it could do either function.

    To Vent, or Not To Vent...

    Bob, FWIW, I did not close off the front and the covering blew out between the wing and the canopy. Ooops. (Aerobeez Edge 50cc) Have to say I didn't vent the fuse either. I would close the top of the engine box and the tunnel. I used the aluminum louvers on the bottom of the cowl and have not...

    This is soooo not good!

    @Bunky.F.Knuckle , @Planebender Thanks, I guess I was thinking of the aluminum back plates. Maybe this sums it up. Back plate Prop Carbon Fiber / Carbon Fiber / NG, slips when hot Aluminum / Carbon Fiber /OK Carbon Fiber / Wood /OK Aluminum...

    This is soooo not good!

    The one thing I see is that the hub is polished smooth. Do most of the other engines have some grooves in the hub to bite into the spinner back plate? Most aluminum back plates also have some grooves. I think.

    50cc Motor Box Question?

    Bob This is what I was referring to . I read somewhere that somebody removed them and the plane handled better. I don't have a weight for you. Sorry

    50cc Motor Box Question?

    I've had it for several months and wish I was a better pilot to judge it. I have not gotten the high alpha thing down yet. When I do try it has some wing rock. Knife edge is easy as are general aerobatics. It's been holding up well to messed up snaps and such. I really like it but I don't have a...

    50cc Motor Box Question?

    I just pinned my Aerobeez 50ccEdge with #2 button head screws and no problems that I see. One hard landing and multiple mid air stops (unintentional walls). :)

    How did you get or come up with your user name?

    While in the Navy a few my buddies started calling each by our last name and "man". 9 because when I joined AOL Reeseman was already taken.

    Wheel collar attachment

    You can also use socket head screws in place of the set screws. Bigger wrench and you have something to grab with pliers if it strips out.

    2-stroke oil,what works,what doesn't

    Just trying to get away from Glow.:D

    2-stroke oil,what works,what doesn't

    Just don't mix that with the snake oil and panther piss. I guess if there is no oil residue, the oil is burning with the fuel. Then it's not helping with cooling. If there is residue the oil is carrying heat with it. Cooler running engine. That was something I had read a while back...

    Good prop drill bit

    Yup, Mcmaster-Carr for the bits. Go 0.2 mm oversize from the back. And get some 1/4" aluminum for a back plate. Just move the holes around in the plate for a fresh surface or use a counter sink bit to clean the holes. The spinner back-plate drill the same size with no binding.
