RE: ESM Stuka trapeze mod/ wing pylons, etc.
Here's a picture of one I made for a friend. He's got it mounted, but not had it in the air yet. It is quite loud and my wife tells me she can hear it's annoying tone from about half a mile away. It has a brake servo on the back of the housing to stop it when not wanting it to scream. Just dropping a random post here. Martin

Oberst, I think you made your point. You're just making yourself look bad at this point. There is no law stating that a business must sell anything to anyone. Good luck with your discrimination case. That is probably one of the stupidest things I've read on here in a long time. I think I'm seeing a trend here. I have yet to hear anyone else say a bad thing about GTM, and for good reason. For the record making an ammo can isn't rocket science.

RE: Siemens-Schuckert D.III 1/3 Scale
I have several long rolls of semi transperent mylar that was given to me. I used it to sheet my 1/4 scale Dv with the plywood. It works quite well taping it over where you want it then drawing in the piece you want. Transfer that to the ply or balsa and voila. It's pretty nice to see through it where you want the wood to cover. Let me know if you guys want some and I can send some with the spinners. Martin

RE: scale turnbuckles - is there a need?
[/quote] As far the cost of turnbuckles, I don't think I could really make myself pay more than about $5 a piece each for one that's exactly scale. I just can't see spending $200+ on turnbuckles for a model. [/quote] I guess you're stuck with the Dubros then as they are about $5 a piece. Make some "exactly scale" ones up yourself and see if that five bucks would cover it. At that price you would cover the material and maybe you might, if you really worked hard, make a few bucks an hour. Hardly worth the effort. Isn't the time to make them worth something? Would you make an "exactly scale" plane and sell it for just over the price of the material you had in it? Didn't think so. I guess they'll just be for me then. Thanks, Martin

RE: scale turnbuckles - is there a need?
Here's a picture of a turnbuckle I'm thinking of producing. I have a few questions before I go to the trouble and expense of making several hundred of these. What would you be willing to pay, is there really a market for these? I don't claim any ownership of the one in the picture, I didn't make that one. But will be making several hundred more just like it...(hopefully). The ends are 416 stainless steel with a 4-40 thread , and the center is brass. About 9/16" (.562") of useful travel. Just a quick run of the numbers show it'd support somewhere around 200 lbs. I know what I'd have to have out of them to be worth my while. Anybody have any idea what they'd pay for something like that? Just curious. Thanks, Martin

Steve, I'll be there. Hopefully I can get the Albi fixed before then. Took a hard landing causing some gear damage. Should be a simple fix. Well, it would be a simple fix for most of you guys, but for me it may be a major fix. Anyway, it should be there. I was looking forward to starting something else, but now I must get it repaired. At least I know what it will fly like. By the way I can't wait to see the video you took. Thanks, Martin

RE: OHIO DAWN PATROL 2010
I made the turnbuckles. The price was just a little salty to have to buy 18 of them for this plane. Here's a shot of the spinner for it.. I haven't cut the prop slots yet, but that won't be a big deal. I did break down and buy the vaccuuformed front end from Proctor rather than using the one I made from fiberglass. The plastic one fit perfectly. Just a little trimming, a little painting, and some small screws and it'll be installed. My achilles heel on this plane has definitely been the dummy engine. I did make some aluminum plugs to vaccuuform off. Also here's a pic of the rocker boxes and the rocker arms. It's getting there. Having fun, Martin
