    Yes, that’s the one. As Leccy says above, it will expand/foam when setting so plonk a weight on the ply to keep it in place.
  2. Ron Gray
    I use it regularly for balsa and ply, all thicknesses.

    Out of the two I would use POR. However my first choice would be Gorilla Glue Brown.

    I’ve had my KS230 for a few years now and it is a really good machine however I wanted something a bit bigger do bought the FET about 2 years ago. That is the only one I use now!

    Put a couple of washers in there Brian, a lot less faff than cutting!

    Typical of most Mossies I've seen and heard of, apart from my little cartoon one that is! Note square fuse, well square everything really yet it still looks like a Mossie.

    Too much building imo, having to build 2 fuselages may put off a lot of people, same with the P38, 2 booms to build.

    The only 'weak' point with the BF110 is the U/C so having a dolly take off / belly (nacelle) lander would get over that. I would go for one!

    Keep it going Matty.
  10. Ron Gray
    Yes but I would go for the matt finish as it does save some work although you still need to give it the once over with fine grade sandpaper.

    Ah, the BF110, a superb model, here is the maiden flight of mine a couple of years ago Plus a couple more flights

    I use a cheap car primer such as this and it works really well as long as I have rubbed the lam film down with a very fine sandpaper to key it. I know that others have used plastic primer (such as David has listed above) and have had success with that too.

    If your masking tape is too sticky stick it on your clothes first. It will pick up dust from your clothes which will reduce the stickiness of the tape. The added bonus is that you are getting cleaner clothes at the same time.

    Here's another one! Clubmate Steve had never built a model before so this is his first attempt, personally I think that he did fine job. He asked me to maiden it and after adding some nose weight (he was using a 2200 mAh 4s battery) it was ready to go.

    Nope! the A test will require you to fly a reversed circuit, in other words if you have been flying clockwise circuits then you will be required to fly one anti-clockwise, in doing so you may well perform a procedure turn but not necessarily so. The only stipulation is that the initial turn to reverse the circuit must be away from the pilot's box.

    Too true Jon, neither of mine, the 200 or the 310, have excessive vibration, in fact the 310 is quite smooth. I flew my 310 powered Giant Revolver again last Friday, the first time for a few months, and re-aquatinted myself with the awesome power and lovely sound. Hopefully take it out again tomorrow as I had a spare prop in the prop drawer!

    I haven’t got a clue and have heard nothing back from AGC Geoff. My one has been with them since last September. Jon has said that they will be done and that the parts have been made but how long does one wait?
  18. Ron Gray
    Take your pick, I’ve got both.
  19. Ron Gray
    Or maybe a dolly and belly option.
  20. Ron Gray
    I reckons cracks on and belly jobbie myself.

    I'd be happy just to have some light wind, the doc has prescribed some pills but the misses still stands upwind of me in Morrisons, I blame the cheese.

    I think that I was a bit too subtle for you Eric! I'm going to be posting the order forms out on Monday to those who have confirmed their desire for a Tempest . On Monday I'm going to be posting the order forms out to those who have confirmed their desire for a Tempest PS I know my humour can be an acquired taste!
  24. Ron Gray
    We’re getting the tempest on Monday, cripes I’d better hurry and clear the building board.

    There's always one isn't there? --------- Tail wheel?
