    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    OK I have the dash in the vacuum bag, I hope it works out. The Naugahyde was first glued to the underside as planned with contact cement, had to use a heat gun to get the Naugahyde flipped over the top of the dash. Once this happened it became apparent that contact cement could not be used so...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Have the tooling coat and the first layer of 3/4 ounce cloth on the cowl plug, might get the 1 1/2 ounce layer on later today. The dash wood is prebend, harderen the edge with thin CA so the it sands more controllable. On the first one the dash, the Naugahyde was glued on the outer surface...

    70cc FLEX Ultimate assembly thread.

    It works same as the TechAero but nicer features, dip switches rather than the jumpers, LED plugs in, it's mounted in a plastic case, and it can increase the voltage. Have telemetry on the ignition supply voltage and stays ay 8 volts throughout the day.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    It was far from perfect. Have the new foam cut and bending the balsa, have to go slow, bending 3/16" balsa, bend a little, soak it down with ammonia wait and bend a little more.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Thinking about finishing the cabin area and decided that the previously installed rear cabin former had to go. The 1/16" plywood former was replace with a 1/16" balsa laminated with 4 ounce cloth on one side and 1 1/2 ounce on the other I wanted to fit the cabin front former before...

    70cc FLEX Ultimate assembly thread.

    It makes sense and I do understand and that is why I line up the same control functions on adjacent channels where there is less than 1 ms of separation. The Futaba 9C radio I had had very noticeable separation when using the 2-6 mix for the elevators. Really couldn't detect it on the ailerons...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Looking at photos of Cubs, they don't appear to have the additional aluminum panel bethid the boot cowl. Doubled sided carpet tape is used to hold panels in place as the screws are only going into balsa.

    70cc FLEX Ultimate assembly thread.

    Yes but isn't the transmitter still broadcasting the multiplexed string of channels over some time frame? On some radios one can select a shorter time frame when using less channels. Or is JR doing something different? With OpenTX I will assign the ailerons to channels 1 & 2, elevators to 3...

    Randy, I thought the doubler would overlap the joint on the sides, it doesn't appear to. What does that joint look like?
