There is no doubt that the Foamy Wing tipper suggests is a great flying model, It is !! I've flown it and I liked it a lot. It's certainly tougher that the Skywing Edge I suggested and if you wan...

Here's the Fuse plug with Plasticine to mask a couple of places where I don’t want to get any Gel-coat or resin running into. I’ve also use plasticine to form an edge along the wing saddle which may ...

I'm packing the car and will be there shortly

I'd just like to to get a couple of projects finished that I've been trying to get too for a while. But that's the to do list not the whish list I guess. On the wish list would be an F5D mod...

It won't be legal for EF1 because they have to be made of Balsa. The only things that can be composite on an EF1 are non structural items like cowls and canopies. This looks like an all composite...

Hmmmmm some good hints there !! I had some buddy box problems with the 9x but only got as far as the channel allocations not the other issues

Here’s the fuse plug all waxed up ready to go. I was going to spray it with PVA on the rotating jig and redo the parting board. Then I thought just a minuet I have already made the parting boar...

Here's some pics of the Damage to The Dynamite. It shows the enormous strength of this type of construction. Looking at this I can understand why the wing doesn't ever flex in those tight turns...

I'd go for the T28 by Park zone. Awsome plane!!, there are other makers of the T28 but I think the undercarriage is a bit soft with them, the Park zone one is good and strong in that department. ...

I put another wing in the bag early this morning, one more to go and I've run out of cores. The next lot I cut I might make the wing span slightly more perhaps another 1.5 inches. Here's a...
