trebor Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Can any one recommend a suitable lightweight filler appart from Deluxe Materials filler ? Is there any thing similar and more economical to be had at the diy shops. I have a foam fusalarge which needs help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul coleman 1 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I find balsa sawdust,mixed with pva,works okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Welford Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Polyfilla Fine Surface. Similar to balsa wood in hardness, so it blends in when sanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Hilton Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Emulsion paint and micro balloons works well .Its the same as deluxe materials stuff .Balsa dust works instead of balloons if you can be bothered collecting it Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Welford Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Posted by trebor on 06/04/2019 11:51:25: I have a foam fuselage which needs help. I hadn't noticed that it in the context of filling foam. Trevor are you aware of the boiling water technique? You can get dings and bruises out of foam by pouring boiling water over the affected area. HTH Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Put a cloth / towel on the foam before pouring boiling water over it otherwise you may well get the dreaded alligator skin effect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Its past the boiling water tecnique The tree branches ripped chunks out so there is nothing to expand back. I have glued it and sanded back and it could do with going in the bin but I will turn it into a reserch and development plane general dogs body type of thing.

Rob Ashley Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Big Boy lightweight filler is great too. It is a two part filler that sands really easily like p38 to a glass like finish - it's used for car body work and it is more durable than the one strike stuff. Great for filling edges on removable parts like canopy hatches etc . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linney Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Hi All I am trying to set up dual ailerons on a AR6400 receiver easy enough, but both ailerons move in the same direction. I am using an orange DSM2 transmitter, if I reverse the aileron direction it changes both so the issue is not resolved. Any ideas about how to get around this?

Stearman65 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Wilco do a lightweight filler. Someone mentioned it on here so I bought some when I was building the TF Stinson. Easy to use, & CHEEEEEEEEEEP. **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Thanks for the advise, I went with Ever Build One Strike Toolstation at £5.40 a ltr. First time using and I think it beats Deluxe. Cheaper and more in the tub. Sticks like glue and no cracking, so far so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
