RE: Applying vinyl invasion strips
All bubbles will eventually go away after application. The sun plus heat. Vinyl can be applied wet with Windex or some other glass cleaner. This allows for movement and placement. Thing is, correct stripes aren't straight vinyl. Because of the wing taper there should be a slight curve to the vinyl, once placed they are straight. You can, pull and stretch the vinyl a bit, but that's in the application. I have my customers send me drawings so I can get the vinyl correct without errors. I tell them how and what to measure. Just part of giving modelers the quality they deserve. Charles

RE: Twin Cylinder nitro engines?
Guys, Thanks for the info. Two stroke is what I want. I had a Ross .60. Webra made a "Boxer-Twin." I know nothing about it except for the ad in an old magazine. .45 displacement. Who has the talant to put two .20's together. Well, it has to work! [:D] Charles

Twin Cylinder nitro engines?
I'm looking into twin cylinder nitro engines. Nothing much larger than .40, and diesel is OK. I have no idea who is making small nitro engines. Older engine OK also. Information and education I need. Thanks in advance. Charles

RE: Foam cores
I purchased a bow cutter in the early 80's came with a instruction book. Set up was easy. I worked of off a section of a formica counter top, a throw-away I picked up and cut to size. You would hold the bow by hand, two guys, one at each end counting the marks on the rib template. Easy as pie and the bow was cheap. You just had to have an honest guy. I cut a bunch of wings, sold the cutter on ebay a few years ago. I just need a couple of sets of wings from my templates. Charles

RE: Foam wing cutter?
Buzz, I've been there done that in the 80's. I must have cut two dozen or more wings for pattern ships and jets. I still have a few sheeted and unsheeted. I won't "start up" again just for a set of cores. Makes no since. I just need a good cutter as I asked. Thanks, Charles

RE: Call to all ARF Modelers. Help!
Nothing is the correct size. To long, to short, to high, not high enough, to narrow or two wide. Now, in a pinch, with mods, I could probably alter one and use it for a plug. That's the last resort. I mentioned those that could work, see if I get replies. Thanks, Charles
