  1. I too have to constantly log in lately, maybe it's the problem Bob just noted. I don't have this problem with other websites though.
  2. Don't forget the plastic bushing Chris, it'll be very important in a wooden wheel.

  5. I like it and like you I have found many uses, other than the obvious ones, for various clamps. They can get you out of some sticky situations.
  6. After cutting the canopy to its rough final shape I plan on wrapping some emery cloth over the fuselage [grit side up] and sliding the canopy back and forth over it to the final shape on my Grumpy Tiger Cub. I saw a picture of it recently and it seems a good idea to try. I'll find out soon enough.
  7. Gorilla make a very strong, clear repair tape 48mm wide
  8. Yes, and with the servo tester you can let them cycle for a while to let them "burn in".
  9. This might be a good way to mount cannons. Easy to remove before flight.

  12. Posted by TJ Alexander on 28/02/2018 15:22:21: I know that a good knife is important for a successful modeller. I've been using my trusty Stanley 99E for building, but I wonder if I could improve on this. I note that Americans tend to use 'Exacto' as a synonym for knife, and I wondered if this was the brand to be looking for. Being round, I'm surprised this sort of knife is so popular.   TJ - yes the basic X-Acto knife is round, but for a couple of dollars extra [still cheap] you can buy this one. Rubbery handle with flats so it won't roll off the bench. It's very popular over here [Canada]. Also you can buy many different types and shapes of blades for it.

  14. Geoff - I'm not familiar with the DB Sport & Scale clips but this is how I retain the 3 pieces wings on my Flugboot. I used a shorter bolt in the completed plane
  15. I asked the manager about the name and she told me that they liked the literal meaning of the phrase which Wiki says is: "Hakuna matata" (pronounced [hɑˈkunɑ mɑˈtɑtɑ]) is a Swahili phrase from Central East Africa; roughly translated, it means "no worries" ("hakuna matata" means "no trouble", while "hakuna wasiwasi" means "no worries". The word "hakuna" means "there is not here" while "matata" means "problems".
  16. Nice to see your progress on the Vicomte build. It's still next on my list after my Tiger Cub and I am following your build closely. I just got back from a 3 day, 2500 km geocaching trip and ate lunch at this restaurant on Saturday.
  17. Sure wish they sold these in Canda
  18. Love Father Brown - have watched all the episodes on BBC Canada
