That tool is awesome, just what I done last night was cutting off excess film from the edges. Had to improvise and put a small ruler underneath then cut along to make a clean cut. Is it possible to adjust the amount of film it leaves to iron, I guess the tilt angle of the tool will do that? You...

Thank you so much, I'd really like to cover the cost, if you can send me your paypal account? I still don't understand exactly how the tool works? So you can cut the film in straight line without cutting into the balsa, is that right? Man, I would remove that filter from the engine, haha...

Damn, the seller does not post to NZ, would you mind forwarding it, I will cover the cost of item and shipping? I was the same as you at one time, cleaning up oil residue on my cars as soon as I am done running them, they all look like new. I am realizing more and more that its time consuming...

That plane looks so good when its shiny and new like that. Even tough you ironed those edges down, you can still see them bubbling up, and this is where oil loves to get it. Good call about sealing them with epoxy. Bigger wheels are always a good idea, I also land in grass. In saying there...

I highly recommend you go with the .82 engine, you wont regret it. Your film application skills look good, I still struggle with film around the edges....there's just so much to learn when it comes to planes. Your a natural! I would still choose epoxy over covering film, mainly because fuel...

That Mustang looks very nice, PM are good quality models from what I have read on the forums. That's 1.5 m wingspan, correct? I think you might find that FS62 might be a bit on the low side, It will fly good, but a bit sluggish and slow. If you you were to put something around 90 and higher on...

Do those boxes beneath those foamies all contain nitro planes and engines? Wouldn't be surprised knowing you :) Can you please show me with photos those carbon strips you glued onto wing and tail? I was so close at having telemetry until I burnt the ESC with reverse polarity. Now I still rely...

That was a nice landing, considering how windy it was. I doubt I would even take it up in the air with that much wind. You can see the flag all the way out the wind. I usually got that if the wind sock is straight, its no good for a foamie. Purchased a Carbon Cub the other day, as a back up...

I have fired up the Jap bomber the other day, man, that 91 is quite intimidating once it swings that prop. Did not run right, not sure if its the old fuel I put in it ( I hate wasting glow fuel that comes from plane bundles I buy),or its the glow plug, will go back to it eventually. Purchased a...

Hmm, seems like I am not getting notification emails when new posts are made on this forum. All this time I was wondering why such a long time to reply, checked manually and you have weeks ago. Anyway, while I wait for my thumb and index finger to heal, I was doing some engine shopping. Made a...

Thanks. Sorry for late reply, its been a hectic few weeks. That's an (white/blue one) Align Trex 700 Nitro Helicopter, which I don't dare fire up on my own yet. Since the Aero club we joined is huge, there's a helicopter section as well, I had a chat with the boys over at the Heli area, they...

Electric pfffftttt.... you'll be back to nitro in no time. Agreed, its probably a bit much handling a new plane, learning to fly and dealing with nitro engine mishaps.... can't wait to see your nitro iteration. Very good idea about dampening the wood and leaving overnight. With a another little...

After watching a few videos on scratch builds, you will need a thin and thick CA glue. When to use them is another story, I haven't figured it out yet. I think for soft balsa joints, once in place, a small squirt of thin glue gets the bonded together as balsa easily absorbs it? I would use epoxy...

It spins that 10x6 quite happily at nearly 10k rpm. The micro mini stick, I haven't ordered yet, been spending $ on tools and probably some stuff I will never end up using, but still nice to have none the less. Please let me know which glue are you going to be using when putting the micro stick...

I am waiting on the ASP91 engine head to come back with its glow plug threads repaired, so I can fire it up. You seem to be doing well with your learning how to fly, and by the sound of it are already flying solo? These first plane of ours are are write off tbh, if it teaches me and the boys...

Blame the wind, a classic! I think you will make a fine pilot :) Me and the little one flew yesterday, 3 batts each. He is only doing ailerons only at this stage. I fly on my own now, no interventions from the instructor were needed, did a few loops, rolls …. even tried landing and taking off...

little bugger has been cleaned, with just a toothbrush and simple green I noticed that ultrasonic cleaner was taking away the chrome finish on some engines, not matter which solution I use? Anyway, I hope you acquire one of these small 4 stroke for a decent price. Def worth having in your...

This is where I am still kinda lost. Oil content. I purchased a gallon of aero fuel (I think omega fuel) which had 18 oil total, synthetic + castor mix. Having visited RC forums a number of times, I was told that older engines like to have min 20% castor, so I added another 2% of pure castor to...

That is an odd looking cooling head on that ASP, but then again there is so many variants out there, you never know. I see, your are prob right, I thought I saw a Chinese 10cc rc plane engine, most likely it was 15cc then. Was at the club yesterday and a guy with a AX was having issues tuning...

Great! How much was the .25 LA? They are great, simple in design engines, with zero maintenance, unlike 4 strokes, which will require periodical checking and valve clearance adjustments. Less complex, less parts, less wear and tear, less headaches. That's how I see it. The LA series even though...
