First let me offer my congratulations!Looking at my last post,I don't think I should post when I'm tired.I had just got back from a long ride on my mountain bike and was not thinking correctly.I have...
Very nice build Brian.Are you bringing it to this weeks launch?I the school in Chagrin Falls has a very small field.They're also a launch in Amherst with the Skybusters club.Don't know if I'm going...
Very nice finish and design.Kind of reminds me of a spinning top I had as a kid.
Very nice looking all yellow with the black nose.Like this rocket and hope to have one someday.Nice work.:cheers:
The two motors that are suggested for the Edmonds Ecee are the 1/2A3-2T and A3-4T.I went with the A3-4T as that also will fly with the Mini Max and Honest John I built for my grandson.
Thanks,I thought it may not work.
Went to the Hobby Lobby store to get some small engines for my Ecee glider,wanted A3-4 but all they had were the 1/2A3-4T.This is a upper stage engine.Would this work with my glider?
I'm looking over the instructions and it does not show where the CG is.I don't have any small "A" motors,will head to HobbyLobby and get some.It says to use a spent engine case to trim with in the...
My wife bought it on ebay from erockets.I contacted them,but have not heard back.Rob Edmonds did get back to me and wanted to know what Ecee I had.So I'm pretty sure he's sending me my missing tube.I...
Delta Creamcoat is a wood sealer and a light sanding after is what I was thinking.I also had the same thought with the tall grass we have on our field.
Jim,that looks like a Mako Shark.Like the fins and design.You might be a little "Mad",but aren't we all a little????LOL.
Thanks for the replies,I have not heard from Rob yet it's been only 24 hours.I see that BMS is shutting down for a while as they are moving to Nevada.The problem would punching a hole in the tube...
I did manage to get a email to Mr.Edmonds,hoping to get the missing tube.This is a neat looking kit that I hope to get into the air at our next club launch.Has anyone used Delta Creamcoat sealer on...
I'm missing the tube that goes inside the glider.It must be the engine tube as there was not one included in the kit.There is a wooden plug that goes into the missing tube that when the ejection...
Hey Brian,great hearing from you.Have you been to any MTMA launches this year?I had a total hip replacement last year around this time and went to our launch last week.Thanks for your...
Thanks,I did see that question was asked a while back after I posted the Thread.Looks like a great kit to fly on smaller fields.It does not say anything about trimming a wing to have it glide in...
I received a Ecee glider for my birthday yesterday.What a neat looking kit.This is my first glider and it flies on smaller A bp motors.As I want to make this as light as possible,I will not paint...
Thanks,the foiled fins added should let you get more height.I made a 3/16" launch lug from some card stock and added twin streamers.I had some black decal paper,that's how I added the black stripes...
My wonderful daughter showed me how to down size my picture file size.Hope this works.The stock build is with a 13mm motor mount.The Red/White roll pattern has larger fins 1/4" larger with .60oz of...
That's the paint scheme I went with.Built mine with larger fins and added .60oz of clay to the nose.Flew on a B6-4 straight and recovered with streamers.It was getting to windy to try a C6-5.Will try...
Contact Estes,they have a great customers service department.I'm sure they will send you a new kit.Sad thing is all kits are made in China and the quality is something that that would be hard to...
It was only a suggestion,I looked at the fins that came with my HO JO and the grain goes with he leading edge.Papering the fins adds strength and will protect them as they do stick out more.I do see...
Man I hate computers sometimes,giving me problems again,sorry about this.
Mini Honest John 003.jpg,Mini Honest John 006.jpgHope these post.
If I may offer a suggestion,you may want to paper your fins,looks like you have the grain going the wrong direction.The picture looks like it's going the same direction as the trailing edge.The fins...
Wow!!!!You Sir are a Master Builder.I'm scratch building a Gemini Titan and ashamed to post pictures after looking at your build as well as others(Qquake2k,Scottydog and others)I'm not as talented...
Looking at paint in the store this morning and was wondering if you could use Rust-oleum Engine Enamel with their primer that you would use with other Rust-oleum paints, 2X and their enamel...
Jim,That came out great!!!!Really like the Gloss Black.I to like the decals.Should be a good flying rocket.
I had some decals tear while I was building a Red Max,and asked Estes if I could get another set from them,they said they no longer have spare parts here in the states as all kits are made in China...
