RE: 1/6th A-6 Intruder Scratch Build
Thanks Thomas. The finished one will need some tweaking that's for sure. This is just a proof of concept. Since the flap tapers down all the hinges wont be able to be the same size I dont think. We'll see what happens when I actually cut the pieces loose from the wing.

RE: 1/6th A-6 Intruder Scratch Build
I was messing around in Solidworks today and decided to take the basic design of the Robart fowler flap hinges and try to apply them to the A-6. You can see how they operate in the video. From here I will be able to change the design around to suit my needs in this plane. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxj4fEeLnkk[/youtube]

RE: 1/6th A-6 Intruder Scratch Build
Thanks guys and gals. I have been trying to keep myself busy on other parts of the project so I have been drawing up some fowler flap hinges in Solidworks. Hopefully that will keep me busy in the down time.

RE: F-16 1/8 Military Cockpit?
I would imagine any of the 1/8th scale cockpits would fit with a little fiddling. Have you contacted Jet Legend/Skymaster/Fly Eagle and Global Jet Club? I am sure they would all be able to help you.

RE: Hows Global Jet Club plane's quality?
I have seen the Skymaster Hawk and I was less than impressed with the quality. The gear doors were flimsy and had no re-enforcement other then the thickness of the wing skin. Jet Legends glass work is better in my opinion, much more stout and Raffy is right, the hardware that Jet Legend produces is excellent. All ball bearing aluminum and such.

RE: Global Jet Racks - New Release
Mike, I think these are awesome and better than other models out there already. For one, the rack detaches to keep your planes somewhere and then you can use the base to wheel your jets to the startup station. This is excellent for large flying fields. No other rack that I have seen can do this and they are charging the same price if not more, so people are already getting more for the money. I think at $500 these are a steal!!

RE: Hows Global Jet Club plane's quality?
GJC supplies jet kits from various manufacturers but also does a certain amount of "customization" for their customers. I am currently flying the JL F-20 and think its a great plane. JetLegend has been around for sometime now and there construction techniques are very good for the products they offer. The glass work is excellent and the designs are very well thought out. Global Jet Club takes that one step further and handles things such as gear door install, cylinder install, landing gear and other little details for a very moderate price. Mike Lin is always their for the customers and has a great communication base between himself and the factory. For the money, they are a great option out there to pilots.

RE: 1/7th F-14D Scratch build thread *building started*
Ok, second sample is laid up Thomas. I will let it cure and try to get them both to you by the end of the week. Some observations right off the bat, the Max Bond resin is a 1 to 1 ratio so a little easier to handle but no big deal really. Also it looks like the Max Bond resin is a little more viscous than the MAS. The MAS flows really nice and penetrates well, the Max Bond takes longer and requires a little more to work the resin and get it in the cloth. If you heat up the resin a little bit you may get better flow but ultimately I don't think this is a deal breaker, especially at this price.

I would expect a minumun of a 24 hour cure for layers that thin Thomas. The MAS patch I laid up for you did not reach full shore hardness for about 2 days, just the nature of the beast. I got the Max Bond Resin int he mail today, if you still want the 2 samples let me know.

RE: Building and Flying the B-2 Stealth Bomber
Thats what I figured Bryce, just jabbin ya. Hey, if you are looking for info on the 229 there is a gentleman over here near me by the name of Gary Hethcoat. He designed a EDF 229 from scratch, made a mold for the fuse and what not as well as having flown the final plane. He has done a ton of models and found out some very interesting things about the flying wing. He has a whole build thread on RCSCALEBUILDER.COM. You can also get a hold of him through his website Wings On the Web [link]http://wingsontheweb.com/[/link] Might be able to get some good info or if you need a kit.
