[Trainer plan advice needed]

How about the BUSHWACKER by Alex W ??

[Petrol or Glo]

Hi, Eric. Go for petrol matey... cheaper than glow fuel. and more reliable too!!

[ML Midge homebuilt diesel]

Hi All, Thanks to Mark Lubbock I think we might just have an extra topic on this forum.

   I have started work on this little beauty today, I might even finish and run it as well.

  Best of luck to all who bite the bullet. Regards Allan

[Happy Easter.]

Hi Doug, It looks good... will it fly ?

[Pet hates and sods law]

Gemma, Drilling holes in human flesh is not recommended as nothing will blunt a nice sharp scalpel blade or a drill than human blood. ( do not ask how I know this)

[Which lathe ?]

Hi David, Buy the biggest and best you can afford, as one other "forumite " has just said, using a lathe does become addictive... almost certainly you will want to progress from small jobs to much larger ones. Buy one and have fun with it !!!!

 

 PS. If you do decide to take the plunge and you get into a tangle with it there are quite a number of us on the forum to help you out.. Good luck....

[EURGLE 2.4 ghz]

Hi Phil, Sounds pretty good to me, if the big boys discover that they have competition they will have consider price reductions won't they !! Good news for us !!

[Poly C]

Hi steve, I've used brown paper and thinned down PVA wood glue, it takes cellulose paint well.

[Model Engineer Exhibition]

Hi All, As both Model Engineer & Aeromodeller  KC I can see your point , we used to have a really first class show a few years ago didn't we !  I wonder if we can get David Ashby interested in a flying show again at Sandown sometime this year ? Or perhaps even the home of British aviation  " BROOKLANDS " in Weybridge...  Hard runway surface and a splendid Aviation / Motor Museum as well. What about it David ??

 

                                                                              

[Wing seating tape.]

Hi Ross, John L has got the best idea for wing seating, Gerard Feeney wrote an article on the subject some time ago in RCME and it really does work a treat !! Another example of B&Q modelling perhaps ??

[Glow to Petrol Conversion.]

Hi All, Surely the best course of action with these spark conversions is to contact Just Engines... I'm told they are always ready to help with info. Why not give them a go ? Allan

[Engine to Silencer gasket??]

Hi Gents, May I suggest that you follow the "WOO" in this matter... Brian suggested ages ago that PTFE tape was the best way to go... He's right too !!  It works a treat..

[David plane]

Hi all, I buy mine from SLEC....Allan

[Laser cutting]

Hi Eric, Have you tried SLEC models ? If you haven't, this might just be the solution to your problem.

[Exhaust Temperatures]

Hi Raymond, Why not ask Brian Winch ( aka "WIZARD OF OZ ")

 

 Try this[email protected] 

 

 Brian uses a pyrometer to carry out engine tests, perhaps he can help. I have made alluminium exhausts but I'm not familiar with "DURAFIX " rods. Give Brian a go, he's a mine of info. Regards Allan J

[What's your favourite aviation based movie?]

Hi all, I'm with Ernie on Murphy's War... but how about Air America ??

[Nylon Wing bolts]

Hi Ron, Bite the bullet matey, there must surely be other items you require at Modlfixings.

[What are you getting for Christmas]

I'm off to Sandown Park on saturday to choose my own. 

[Nano Turbines]

Aren't they just great. Indoor flying ??

[Painting resin]

Myron, Ihope you asked Mrs. B  before you tried her hairspray !!!

[Protect your eyes!]

Hi Richard, I just hope that all the "forumites" be they "old hands" or "newbies" take heed  of your "words of wisdom" A few years ago I was machining a length of brass bar in my lathe when a small piece of swarf hit the righthand lens in the glasses I was wearing, when I removed the glasses I found the swarf embedded in the glass lens. The moral here is to follow your advice and Protect Your Eyes !!

[Does anybody else have moments like these?]

Hi Rob, you are not alone when it comes to "senior moments " I have managed to build two "port" wings and several sets of same side fuselage panels. My best one recently was possibly putting my fuel proofer brush into my tea!!

[balsa leading edge]

Hi flyboy, Just a thought have you tried this ? [email protected] 

 

 They might just have what you are looking for.
