RE: ATLANTA HOBBY
[quote]ORIGINAL: tee681 I was on vacation so i went to pay a visit to Atlanta hobby . When i walked in no body said nothing like may i help you or how are you today so i thought ok thair busey so i looked around when i did ask it was like i was bothering them very unfrindley did not want to be bothered i even ask obout if thay were go to carry a local buniness products & all thay did is bad mouth them maby mail order is ok but to go & buy something from them i am done . If you want to see a real hobby store go to GRAVES HOBBY in orlando FL very nice & nothing like you have ever seen . [/quote] Graves is a great shop, See Neil when there as he is a friend of mine. I am not quite sure who you talked to yesterday at the shop as there were 3 of us here in the shop all day. Yes we are a mail-order company and yes with a small staff we are always slammed packing boxes and taking orders and doing tech support on the phones but we do not ignore anyone and in fact with the theft we have had lately we watch everyone really well. Now with that being said, we will not run up and greet you nor will we hound you like a retail store does (we are not a retail store) and in fact we encourage you to open the boxes and take a look at all we have to offer but we will not stand there with you or we could never get anything done. We have a very small walk in base and the locals know what they want and come and get it understanding the asset we provide the local crowd and the small staff we have to remain profitable. I will say that Tuesdays are especially busy for us (that being the day you posted this note 08/24) as we are finishing with the hundreds of orders we receive each Monday. We are on deadline all day for those packages as well as are working hard on a live radio broadcast we produce each Tuesday evening (another deadline) so it can be quite frantic. We are happy to shoot the SH!@# but you will need to hang with us as we are always moving and simply can not stop and have a sit down conversation. One question though, I do not understand what you said when you stated " i even ask obout if thay were go to carry a local buniness products & all thay did is bad mouth them". We do not bad mouth anyone, in fact we send folks every day to the other retail locations around town and those stores will gladly confirm it. Anyway, sorry if you had a bad experience, that is certainly not typical (the opposite is quite true if you read these and other boards), I will speak to the guys in the shop and see if they remember you. If you decide to visit again ask for me direct and I will show you around. Cliff

RC Radio Network Air Show Tuesday 01/26/2010
Join us at 8:30 PM EST 01/26/09 as we review the latest products on the RC market and discuss RC events around the world. This week we will also have a chat with SuperFly RC company President Jeff Williams or as most know him "Tram" here on the boards. SuperFly RC was founded in 2002 is a home grown American based company and has since developed many planes including the SuperFly and HyperFlea. Delta wings are durable alternatives to built planes. With speeds range from ultra-slow to fast with unlimited vertical power there is a SuperFly wing for everyone! SuperFly planes are made from CNC cut high quality EPP foam right here in the USA. SuperFly RC planes are constructed almost entirely out of Expanded Polypropylene foam (EPP) with no internal spars or covering. The majority of EPP in today's market is used in automobile bumpers. That should tell you just how tough it really is. Unlike conventional foam, EPP can be bent, folded, twisted, and it will return to its normal shape. EPP can break but it is easy to repair with Hot Glue. Show run time about 1 hour See more about the [link]http://www.rcradionetwork.com/shows/show_01262010.php[/link]show by clicking here.

RE: Micro Cessna 210 RTF Electric
[quote]ORIGINAL: FERNDALE AIR FORCE Cliff, no offense, but the glue ate the plane. Since I have had marvelous results with your product of every other plane I've tried it on, so I tried it on this plane. For whatever reason it melted the foam to a thin, brittle consistency. My final thought was that the composition of the foam and the the thickness of the foam was the primary issue. I posted about not using the ca on the plane specifically so that someone else did not melt thier plane. As a rule I recommend using Elmers on this plane, to never us ca in case you need to take the part off. And for full disclosure used UHU Creativ for Foam to glue the nose back tother. As an aside, I used the m100f on my Bug Sunday morning. Tim [/quote] Tim, No offense was taken, and again I appreciate you trying our adhesives. I was just correcting the statement where you said I implied you did something wrong and further stated that you would never recommend us again. In a public forum these can be powerful words and my companies are built on my words and the quality of our products and I did not say what you said I said and I needed to protect our brand. The only way to show this is to post the facts. We tested again yesterday and just can not replicate this on the same aircfraft. This is not saying you did anything wrong, just that we cannot replicate this and we will continue testing. Our chemist have that aircraft in the lab now to look into it further. As a side and as a ISO 9001 2000 certified company we are serious about quality have retained samples of every batch of glue we have ever made (ask that from the foreign brands). We have an unlimited unconditional warranty on our products with no time limits and will test them all to see if their are any issues on that particular foam. I apologize to you and the group for taking up the threads time here. Cliff Whitney Founder 6150 Parkway North Drive Cumming, GA 30040 Fax/Phone 678-513-4450 cliff@mercuryadhesives.com

You should have a little bit of play in the shaft, fore and aft, the gear is what sets this play. Mercury got back to me with a message that implied I did the wrong thing. Great product for bigger planes, but not for these. I cut and fit a new nose after mine fell off yesterday, tested out perfect. I used UHU Creativ for foam for the join. Here's a before pic. Tim [/quote] Hi Tim, Just to be very clear, here is the actual Emails (below). I do not think that I "implied" you did anything wrong only that I can not replicate what you have done. We have had zero issues with our Foam friendly products and I tested the M100F and M1000F on the same plane in the same areas as well as the wings with no ill results.

RE: Mercury CA brand????
[quote]ORIGINAL: dhal22 i started using mercury ca because the company is based in the town next to mine. support the local economy you know. i have found it to be an excellent glue. the thick is a slower curing glue but i'm on my 2nd kit with mercury adhesives and i have drained every bottle i've bought. how often can you by a made in the USA product? david [/quote] I had a consumer tell me the other day that our Glue was 1/2 price of all of the others. I told him he hot a great deal and he said no you don;t understand...... I am able to use the whole bottle, with all others I can only use 1/2 of the bottle before it goes bad so Mercury is 1/2 price. Cliff

RE: Mercury CA brand????
[quote]ORIGINAL: Ralph78 I have been using Mercury CA for the past two months, building two Old Timers for SAM competition. I really like it. I did notice the medium and thick take quite a bit of time to cure. I don't like to use Kickers because I am worried about loss of strength. I plan on continue using Mercury CA, but I want to try to use an applicator so that I can get small drops where I want it. The stock bottle of "thin" puts out two much at a time, and it is hard to get into tight spots. Other than that, I think it's good "stuff" and plan on continuing to use it. Ralph [/quote] Thanks for the good words Ralph, The set times you will see are dependent on the viscosity of the glue as well as the moisture content in the substrate you are using. The thick M1100G will take longer to set (as you have seen) and if it is wintertime and dry in your shop (as it is with the heat on) everything will move even slower. Cyanoacrylate (C5H5NO2) is an acrylic resin that cures almost instantly. The only trigger, or catalyst, it requires are the hydroxyl ions in water. Since almost any substrate you may want to glue will at least have trace amounts of water on it's surface CA will adhere to most anything. When CA comes into contact with water it undergoes a process called anionic polymerization. In short this simply means the CA molecules start linking up into chains and these chains start whipping around to form a durable plastic mesh. The glue thickens and hardens until the thrashing molecule strands can no longer move. Remember balsa will dry out in the winter. What you said about the accelerator is correct in that it will weaken the bond. Try our MH16 however as it is different as it contains Heptane and has been formulated to be a bit less aggressive so as to not shock the CA but simply speed up the set time needed. Thanks again Cliff Whitney

RE: Mercury CA brand????
[quote]ORIGINAL: glover1482 My "heads up" on this glue is that although it is foam safe, it is not odorless. I purchased thick, medium and thin, and all three caused me to have the same alergic reaction that I get from non foam save CA's. Be very carefull with this adhesive if you have experienced alergic reactions from CA's with an odor! I had to throw my $27 investment in the garbage, and go back to the "gold label" stuff (which I can't find in a thick version). Fly safe, Glover [/quote] Glover, I just found this thread and want to thank you for trying our products. There is a big difference in adhesives on the market today and we invite all to learn more about our Science. As to the foam friendly and low odor products. Mercury does not make a Thin, Med and thick in Odorless but we do have 2 formulas. The fumes that you see coming from a glue joint is from the heat that is generated during the anionic polymerization process, the fumes do carry the cyanoacrylate within them, therefore when they come into contact with mucus membranes (such as the nose, throat or eyes) the cyanoacrylate reacts with the moisture contained within these areas and cause a burning sensation. This process is not harmful to the body but can be irritating; in some people it can be extremely irritating. [u]This is not an allergic reaction[/u] although some people are sensitized to this. If you are one of the few people that are very sensitive to the fumes you can use the low odor M100F or M1000F CA, which will not fume. Learn more at this link http://mercuryadhesives.com/MercuryFAQ.htm. Also please feel free to contact us directly to ask any questions of our tech support and chemist. I have posted some other data below which might help you learn a little more about our products. [b]What's in a name?[/b] Each bottle of Mercury CA has the scientific viscosity (thickness) right in the name and is especially formulated to give you superior results. As all CA brands use different names it is important to educate your customers to the naming conventions that Mercury has chosen. The middle number in the Mercury products are the key identifier. The smaller the number the thinner the product. Mercury CA adhesives are specifically formulated for various tasks when working with wood, metal, plastic, rubber, fabric, leather, and foam. The more you and your customers know the better you will be able to help your customers. [b]M5T is the thinnest[/b] in the Mercury line with a viscosity of 5 (a viscosity of 1 would be similar to water). M5T comes in 10 gram, 1oz, 2 oz and a 8 oz refill sizes. The name stands for Mercury Viscosity 5 Thin. M5T Instant is a very low viscosity cyanoacrylate and was developed for demanding high speed wicking applications. M5T has excellent adhesion and cure speed on difficult to bond plastics and rubbers and contaminated or acidic surfaces. M5T offers high performance wicking and bonding of close-fitting parts including: plastics, rubbers, metal, wood, leather, fabric and composites to themselves or in various combinations. Note that the bond time is extremely fast, align parts prior to assembly. Also for locking parts that are pre-assembled. [b]M300M is our medium formula[/b] with a viscosity of 300. It comes in 10 gram, 1 oz, 2 oz and 8 oz refills. M300M was developed for demanding high speed wicking applications. Excellent adhesion and cure speed on difficult to bond plastics and rubbers and contaminated or acidic surfaces. M300M offers high performance wicking and bonding of close-fitting parts including: plastics, rubbers, metal, wood, leather, fabric and composites to themselves or in various combinations. [b]M1100G is our gap filling formula[/b] and has the slowest set times of the three base CA’s. It also comes in 10 gram, 1 oz, 2 oz and 8 oz refill sizes. M1100G is a thick gap filling viscosity that bonds to a wide variety of materials including wood, paper, cardboard, leather, fabrics, etc. Bond times vary according to the substrates being bonded but are generally faster than normal super glues. Typical applications include wood trim on furniture, balsa wood bonding for hobbyists, leather accessories on shoes, fabric bows on shoes and lampshade bonding. Other features include versatile bonding of most elastomers, metals and plastics. [b]M100F and M1000F are the Mercury Foam Friendly and low odor products[/b]. These are available in 10 gram and 1 oz sizes. As the names imply the viscosities are 100 and 1000 with the 1000 being the thickest of the two. The F at the end of the names are used to identify that they are OK for foam (note M100XF has an F at the end but is not good for foam). While CA is not toxic some people can have sensitivity to the fumes of normal CA’s. The M100F and M1000F formulas do not put off these fumes and as such are also called low odor products. These products provide a “low bloom� cure on plastics and other materials and are simply the pest products on the market for foam applications. While both of these formulas will work on both wood and foam they offer a much slower cure time and will most likely need an accelerator on foam applications. [b]M3500FL is a very thick 3500 viscosity[/b] and comes in a 1 oz size. M3500FL is flexible (thus the FL in the name) adhesive that will display excellent peel and impact strength qualities and is well suited to applications involving vibration, thermal shock, temperature cycling and high humidity. Some other CA’s have a black color on their flexible products but the Mercury product is clear eliminating that nasty black color. [b]M100XF is the result of nearly 2 years of lab work by Mercury Chemist[/b]. This work has resulted in a formulation that is among the fastest, strongest and highest quality ever available. Available in a 1 oz size this is also the most popular and most profitable CA in the Mercury line. M100XF recently won the best new product award at SEFF 2007 as voted on by over 380 pilots. M100XF is thicker than thin and thinner than medium and is formulated with Mercury proprietary ingredients that make it a great choice for tough to bond substrates. No other CA company has a product like this. With it’s unique properties M100XF is a great adhesive for using over the existing joints in ARF aircraft where a good once over is needed before the first flight (this is why some are calling it the ARF glue). Another strong attribute is it’s low vapor properties, while it is not a low odor product many have noticed, that M100XF does not produce the same amount of vapors as standard CA. One of the best uses for this product is on poplar plywood, or as we know it Lite-ply. We have also found it to work great when sheeting with balsa or working with any tough to bond surfaces. The reason this product works so good on the poplar plywood is due to the high alkaline content of poplar. Alkaline is a neutralizer to cyanoacrylate, which will prevent the product from reacting with the moisture in the wood; in this case an accelerator would be used to promote the curing process. The accelerator will cure the CA but with a more brittle joint, the vary thing we want to avoid when gluing plywood. Based on extensive testing this product is a great choice for assembling the ARF type models. Because of the extensive use of poplar plywood in these models most manufacturers use a PVA (polyvinalacetate) type of glue. This glue is an air-drying adhesive that cures by solvent evaporation. Simply put, when the water, that carries the adhesive to the joint, evaporates the adhesive that has spread into the joints grain and crevices dries and forms a flexible, mechanical bond. These types of products are heavy, slow and do not posses the strength of CA. With the excellent wet-out capabilities of M100XF you can go over the joints on your new ARF and be assured the glue joints are solid. Also you can use this product during the many assembly and gluing steps required to complete the model. [b]Mh16 is a general purpose activator/accelerator[/b] that uses Heptane as a base chemistry (thus the MH16 name) and comes in a 2oz spray bottle. MH16 works great on wood or foam and while a little slower than other accelerators is not as aggressive as other products so as to give you a better bond. [b]M68DB is a debonder[/b] that is specially formulated. It is a clear liquid with a low evaporation rate that attacks and dissolves cured or uncured CA. Can be used to debond misaligned parts or clean up excess adhesive. It also is useful for removing spilled adhesives from work area. Debonds accidentally bonded skin. MTL is the line of Mercury Threadlocks. These are very popular for the helicopter and car filks and come in a 4 pack featuring 1ML bottles. MLT222 Purple Thread locker is a lite general purpose, medium-high strength, thixotropic anaerobic thread locker. The product cures when confined in the absence of air on close-fitting metal surfaces. MLT242 Blue Thread locker is a general purpose, medium-high strength, thixotropic anaerobic thread locker. The product cures when confined in the absence of air on close-fitting metal surfaces. MLT271 Red is a single component, high strength (permanent) anaerobic thread locker. MTL71 cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces. MRT09 Retaining Compound is a single part, low viscosity, fast curing anaerobic resin used for bonding rigid assemblies of all types. It can also be used effectively to increase the strength of most mechanical assemblies. There are more details about each of the Mercury products on the website and on “The Science� pages contained in your manual. Please call or Email us if you or your customers ever have any technical questions regarding the Mercury line. Again thanks fro reading! Cliff Whitney

RE: Extreme Flight 300 electric
[quote]ORIGINAL: Maudib Nope... it's a plastic back... not a brand from here. I'm sure Chris used what he could readily pickup for the prototype. I'm sure the supplied spinner is a bulk purchase for this plane. It's pretty light however... .55 oz It also fits the prop adaptor's shaft like a glove... Simply a beautiful piece of work. [/quote] It was actually designed by the airplane designer just for this plane. CW

RE: Extreme Flight 300 electric
[quote]ORIGINAL: MSP1957 Mine shipped today [8D]. I was thinking of E-flite S75 servos all around. Any comments?? Michael [/quote] These are to small, Use HS-56 or the new HS-65. The S-75 are really HS-55's and are just to small Hope this helps. Cliff

RE: Extreme Flight 300 electric
The included spinners were a bonus at NC from Chris and I, We did not think that the mike hall designed spinner would be ready in time and as such did not advertise it.

Yes, That it it! Thanks Mark, I would suggest changing or updating the text on this page as this way of searching is the best way to drill for information (IMO). Good Winds Cliff

Search results as individual post
How can I do a search and have the system return the results as individual post and not the entire thread. For instance in the advanced area if I search for a specific company name "joeshobbies.com" it currently returns only threads where joeshobbies.com is mentioned. This results in me having to look at each post and some are pages and pages long. This is easy over in Wattflyer as you just select "post" I could also just be missing it ;-) Thanks

RE: mini katana
Actually while the A30 28S is popular, 40% of the kits we have sold have gone out with this motor http://www.atlantahobby.com/shopexd.asp?id=5953 (back in stock on the 27th). For a high power solution this is the motor of choice http://www.atlantahobby.com/shopexd.asp?id=5971 Hope this helps. Cliff

RE: Zagi XT
Yes, that stock 8 cell sub C pack is a beast but is necessary to get you about 8 Min of FT wide eye flying! Mine flys with that pack about 1/4 of an inch back from the forward most edge of the battery compartmant. CW

RE: Zagi XT
Mine sounds great but it does need a very forward CG to behave better and even then it is twitchy. Do not get it slow! CW
