Edgeflyer

I'm not sure if I got a bad tin but the latest is too thin. The original was much thicker and tricky to brush but worked really for gluing down edges with heat sensitivity to reposition. This new stuff is very expensive very thin and has no tack and just peels back up. Anyone familiar with it?

Mine sold

Sold now thanks

Getting on well with the above referenced habotai polyester lining. I'm smoothing down reasonably tight using Aleene's high tack fabric adhesive round edges then light warming to shrink slightly then trad cellulose dope with water based pu to fuel proof. See black area in the picture.

I'd go balsa plug glued in with foaming Pu glue masking tape over the top then sand smooth 12 to 24 hours later. I've also used epp foam (not polystyrene) cut roughly and put glued in .

Wow that's brilliant many thanks. I will pm my address.

Thanks that's a plan if noone has one to sell me.

Looking for £110 posted. Also on BMFA classifieds. Pm me for more photos please.

Top man! Thanks

What's the difference between water based pu varnish and EziDope? I find the wbv does not tighten the covering the way cellulose dope does. Is EziDope better?

Ah that's very useful info thanks.

Hi John, If you happen to have a matching needle from the 40 or 46 Jetstream knocking around I'd love to buy it as swapping from 1 to the other is a nuisance!

Carb and needle from the 40: same as 46

No numbers but this is the 46 carb with a needle from my 40 that fits bith

Ooh thanks John I will check. I have a matching needle from my 40 Jetstream carbs which fits the 46 so I can send pics of what I'm after.

Thanks for that. Anyone know if the Jetstream carbs on the Irvine 36 and 39 models were the same as my 46 or at least use the same needle valve as I can find a sacrificial engine in those sizes for a needle for the 46?

Seems difficult to find parts for these now. I just need a couple of exhaust screws something like m2 x 30mm?? Can an engine guru please advise. Also my 46 mk 111 is missing a main needle. Midland Helicopters have one called a 40C. Is that it? Thanks for advice

Thanks for those tips I'm now able to make my own letters and logod

I want to be able to print large size letters in a variety of fonts and styles to use to cut my own model names etc from fabric or film. I used to be able to do this easily with Wordart but now I don't have access to word and don't want to pay MS for it. There must be a simple free app that does it and allows me to size the letters before printing but all I can find is online gimmicky types. Any ideas please?

I've found some suitable cheap 1£ per metre x 1.5m width polyester lining fabric which is as light as my original nylon. It's Barbie colour unfortunately! But I've found it's easy to go from pink to red, purple or even blue. Small areas I lay out on a glass sheet and use thin water based fabric paints then predope ( I have yet to try pu and heat shrink). Larger areas like 2m x 1.5m I put in the old Crockpot and use Dylon dye.

£36 for 5 litres of fun or 12 cups of coffee in the company of the laptop warriors.

Any chance of a link to the lightest eBay polyester you use? The stuff I ordered is much heavier than traditional nylon.

Anyone used polyester dress lining on an open structure using water based pu rather than nitro cellulose. I'm not sure whether this combination has shrinking tendency sufficient to work?

Interesting in upgrading from analogue but I want to just look at the fpv feed occasionally whilst flying on a monitor not goggles . I can do this currently but is there a digital monitor / fpv receiver?
