thx Clive,about the six/half pound seems the way to go give or take,if all fails i reprop it,my setups good for 1800w lol.

not daft atall,untill a year or so ago i never used paper tubes for servo wires so i thought i give it ago as i useally just used a weighted piece of cotton to pull the wires through,with my normal building method of rushing things i got one or two holes slightlyout of align so i still couldnt use the tubes.so the last few models ive made i used a piece of copper pipe about a foot long sharpened like a hole saw,then put on a v block and just twiddle,all in line,proberly not the best or worse way but it works,also use the same idea for wing tubes as used on my silver boomarang jet shown earlier.for me i measure twice cut once an still get it wrong lol.

hHi Gazza,someone else told me to try the sanding dust an glue years ago. i never did so i think i might just try it now on my ballerina cowl.
-
basically when should you throw out the odds and ends of balsa,ive collected so much just latey but it never gets used because of sorting through it all,but i know what will happen if i do bin it...that one piece i need,then you buy a bit more and it starts all over again.
-
a bit more progress,we on our way,actual shape.might start on the wings tomorrow,dont like wings,with a fuz i see a plane but with wings,they just wings but they must be done..sigh.
