Of course its all FAKED!! The moon as any child will tell you, is made of cheese........

Well , not so different, slightly more 'cramped' in appearance. I did like the feature where you could pass the cursor over a topic and read the first sentence or two.   Would welcome slightly larger font, or a new pair of glasses....   keep up the good work!!!

Love the ''Water Margin''music!! hope RCM&E gets a mention at the Oscars speech!!!!!

i had some left over shelving, the type where you screw two metal bars vertically to the wall and there are numerous slots for the brackets to fit in . I just bought more brackets and slotted these in every 4 inches  antd thats it! a great wing rack.

So in a nutshell, strong,easily sanded and gives time to reposition and no real cons? Thanks for all the advice ... and the interesting asides on animal glue, I seem to recall using cascamite, a paste glue mixed with water whilst in woodworking class at school many years ago, is it stil around and ony use or is it simply superceded by modern glues?

Could some kind soul explain to me the pros and cons of using aphylactic ( spelling??) adhesive. Im just starting a new traditionally build biplane kit, balsa, and have heard several recommendations for this but have yet to hear the fors and againsts. Or any other recommendations, Ive generally used thin cyano and /or epoxy to date. Thanks in anticipation Spanner

Ahhh that Astro Hog has wetted my appetite, Hope to see your build blog soon Mike! but then maybe the Magnatilla................ life is so hard, decisions decisions.......................

I did look at the Flair Magnatilla bt it specifies a 60 fourstroke, anyone know if a 70 fourstroke would be suitable as well????

Chipmunk looks nice, i really should have said I have a kit r plan build in mind. happy landings spanner

That would be easy flying, in any direction!!

Well, Lucky me, Santa was Kind enough to leave an SC .70 Fourstroke under the tree this year, but what to build around it??? i prefer slow and stylish , east flying, perhaps with a nod towards scale and some SIMPLE aerobatics.... any suggestions??????

The instructions from Ikea were quite clear..........

Spent nearly an hour in B&Q today but couldnt find it. Staff regarded me as a slightly insane person, and that was without mentioning wht I wanted it for! perhaps I am insane?

Well.  My son Sam was born last Wednesday (8 Oct) and we DO want to encourage young fliers.............

Gets my vote!

Greattipfor wing seating Eric, I never heard that before. I have anearly completed plan build on the bench, Ill give it a try. Any more tips? maybe a new thread?

Nice but isnt it kinda pricey for a 35?

WOT a good prize

Didnt someone say ' the only daft question is the one you dont ask'

AAAAHHH !! Silent Flight.......................................

But be VERY careful with the heat gun, otherwise youll melt the covering. However re-covering the model makes it highly individual and puts you well up on the learning curve! Good Luck

Or, you could just sheet in the open framed area, 1/16 balsa or similar.

I glassed the wing on my wot4, I wondered the same as you, in the end I decided to laminate several thicknesses if 1/4 balsa and carve two wing tips. I gave mine a very rounded and streamline profile, I then drilled into the mating face to reduce weight. Not sure the drilling was really  needed as they were quite light anyway.  I then epoxied the tips to the wing, sanded to profile and went ahead and glassed it all. It worked really well. Having said that I would note Timbo's comment above, Im not sure that there is much to be gained by glassing. I intended to make a high quality painted wing that was bullet proof!! I ended up with the fuel attacking the painted finish and so after some time sanded down the paint and covered in profilm. Good quality shed time though!! Good luck with the build, its a great plane, Im thinking of getting another, they sound great with a four stroke! (anything sounds great with a four stroke!!) Or go electric???
