    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Coming along nicely. Wait till I get to work on this 30% One Design I just picked up. I'm a cheap ass so I take a piece of covering to lowes and have them match it in latex paint. I then do a mixture of 50% paint, 40% minwax water based gloss polycrylic, and 10% water. Then go back over it after...

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

    When I start working on it there will be a build thread. Wing still needs to be built and I see a lot of places in the fuse I can remove material to cut some weight. The one design is a pretty neat looking bird in my opinion. Kinda looks like they took a Pitts s-1 fuse and slapped some extra 300...

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

    Well since no one seems to be guessing I will spill the beans. Never heard of the company that makes it all I know is it came from Australia. It's a DR-109. So some might know of the DR-107 which is a One Design. From what little info I can find the 109 is basically the 107 that the fuse has...

    3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

    Im not sure about the mojo 65 but all the other mojo's recommended CG range that is on the plans is based on someone that might be newer to flying.

    That's there is one of those removable counterbalances. Gonna have to break out the packing tape and thin CA. Oh and if you notice you can see the packing tape already holding the counterbalance on on the other side.

    If it says already a snug fit on the muffler then I would think just some high temp silicone and press it up on there and it would be enough to hold it.

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    From what I have read most all cowls will do that if you don't use a glazing compound over it. Mostly just pin holes you will never be able to see with the naked eye but paint shows them well. But what do I know? I'm no painter just a silly sparky

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Looks great and as others said once you painted it you can barely tell where you have it cut open at the bottom.

    While I hate the cost and mess of nitro I don't think I will ever be without a piped 46-55ax engine. To me I guess on my 40 sized birds I'm just not going to get the flight time I like out of electric. Now for anything 60 size and up though it will get 20cc gas from now on.

    Razor plane takes a bit. Once you figure it out it becomes your go to tool for stuff like that.
