    Fabric Covering for Scale RC Airplanes — Video How To

    @Snoopy1 Nice planes! I see that you have a color scheme going there with the orange white and blue! I like the pin stripe lines between the blue and orange on the typhoon. @acerc I agree with you with the humidity. Its the hardest part with the whole system, even in SE Alaska! The Stewart...

    Fabric Covering for Scale RC Airplanes — Video How To

    Ive repaired and covered full scale planes with this stuff, I have turned very sensitive to MEK. That is one nasty chemical. Be careful when using it, the chemical will get through ordinary gloves. I absolutely love how forgiving this stuff is to work with! They make a easy to read/follow book...

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Man I feel bad I left this thread on pretty much a bad note... I started tinkering on this flying machine again. So many good reviews of this engine and plane (separately) I'm thinking there must be a way to solve this. Took the lead out of the tail. Swapped positions with the fuel tank and the...

    News Roll call! Joe Nall 2017

    No Kidding!! It would be about 12 hours of flight travel and an hour drive! ha ha ha. Been there once in 2012 (I Think) because I was taking a class in Daytona Beach FL and drove to Triple Tree. sooooo NO EXCUSES, go for me!!!! Instead I'll be flying north a 1/2hr and fly fish for some steelhead.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Five years ago I had some CA hinges shear off on an aileron (all but one or two) linkage was still holding it on. Only noticed it when I landed and the air pressure went away and it drooped. I thought it would have fell out of the sky like a winged duck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Took the Extra 300EXP 60" through two batteries. Scratched the itch I've been having for quite some time. Really starting to like this bird. Thanks @NorthwestRC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's been raining so hard here for the last week I think someone is building another ark nearby.... Before that is was frozen in the teens, then I was gone for a couple weeks for work.... I've got a bad itch that needs scratching folks. Been working on putting together an AcroCub foamy in the...

    Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 30cc ARF

    I like the idea of the vvrc 40cc twin, hard to beat a da-35 as well... of course these are the higher priced engines. The twin would be easier on vibration with the supplied CA hinges.... just sayin. The vvrc 40 would be my choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 30cc ARF

    Hard to not like the ultra stick... hmmm Double beveled hinges, 30cc, 1:5 floats, not to mention the skis, sounds like a fun fly plane to me!! I'm tempted believe me!

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    ha ha ha my personal cutoff is 33* that's enough time to play in the sky for a 5 min fix. Many variables though.... wind is a big factor. I had a flying buddy try and break his record of -3* but only got to +2* he flies a Tower 60 with a nitro .70 FS, uses a generator hooked up to a hairdryer to...
