    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Just took a look at the stits site and it looks like the same company that makes the poly tak and poly brush I ordered from Balsa USA. Price doesn't seem too bad iether. I think I just have a mental block when it comes to latex paint. Can't seem to wrap my mind around using house paint for my...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    It's the only thing I've used in the past. Mainly because of it's fuel proof properties back in my nitro days. I've looked at some of the automotive paints and they are way more expensive. Latex paints seem heavy, or is it a misconception?? The planes I've painted with dope come out nice and...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Just placed the order! I was told I only need one 5m pack, due to the fact that its 54" wide. Hope its enough! I ordered their poly tac and poly brush as well. I was going to use Sig Dope for paint, but they have been out of the colors I want to use for some time now. Don't know if they will get...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    As Summer is fading away here in Easter Idaho, I'm getting geared up to start on the fuse. Have a special guest showing up in a couple of weeks to help out with the build. Pics to follow. I've also seen that Balsa USA has a new covering material out called Planetex. Has anyone used it yet? It's...

    Rotormast V-22 Osprey Review

    Next I built the landing gear up. You have to glue the frame set together and drill the mounting points through the fuse. There are a couple of lexan parts you have to put a bend in and a pair of duck billed channel locks works great. My kit had some wrong screws with it, but Tom sent out a set...

    Rotormast V-22 Osprey Review

    If you buy the kit with the power package, it comes with some quality scorpion motors and castle speed controllers.

    Rotormast V-22 Osprey Review

    The next step is to add the speed controller and connector board. I had some Hitec aluminum servo arms that worked great on the build. If you are planning on building the scale kit, make sure you tuck all the wires neatly inside the frames and along the sides so they don't interfere with the...

    Rotormast V-22 Osprey Review

    The Rotormast V-22, sold and developed by Tom Mast has been on the market for some time now, and has gone through a few updates over the years. The kit is a builders kit and anyone who enjoys building would enjoy this build. Attention to details is quilt important on this one, as any missed step...

    Rotormast V-22 Osprey Review

    Got flight #6 on it today, but I didn't have anyone with me to record it. I'm learning the in's and out's of maintaining the Rotormast V-22 and need to do a video on just adjusting the conversion gear slider. I'll try and have it done in the next few weeks. I'll post the photos I took during...
