I should have said DECENT epoxy, not typical 50/50 hardware/hobby store epoxy that is loaded with fillers that reduces it's strength. West System ,Aero Poxy, etc. Epoxy always leaves great looking single-pass fillets, is easier to sand and finish than wood glue. CJL, The difference...

Especially NOT for that sub-sonic CLUNKER !

If you use EPOXY you won't be sorry. I have YET to see anyone that was disappointed by using epoxy. Don't let anyone discourage you from using it...wood glue takes longer to dry, IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT weaker (and anybody that says otherwise is a KOOK), and does not finish as well. On a typical...

I would use 15 minute epoxy. 5 minute sets up too fast for my taste for aNYTHING but quick field repair. The 15 minute has a long enough pot life to allow one to make perfect one-pass fillets on fins too that flow decently. 5 minute is LOUSY for filleting.

Outsourcing as well as the "global economy" both stink. In a nutshell, all both do is hurt the middle class of Developed Economic States and transfer wealth to whatever backwater "dirtbagistan" will do the work cheapest. Eventually left unchecked they will be the downfall of the middle class...

Enviro-impact studies on YOUR land are FINE as long as YOU are the one wanting and requesting them. The scope contained by the study should ONLY include DIRECT activity occurring on YOUR land. Anything else such as indirect activity from another person's land- TOUGH ! Should be nobody else's...

I have ZERO respect for RATS, nor do I have any for those who bestow it upon themselves to be defacto shipment cops. As far as I'm concerned, I want my motors shipped to me the most economically viable way, period. I have zero liability for how a vendor is shipping me motors unless I...

I for one would not have any problem with ingesting 25ppb of perchlorate or anyone else as well. Tetra or Perchloroethylene is an entirely different animal and is a chlorinated organic solvent. Trichloroethylene is closely related and I have ZERO qualms about using it in an OPEN UNCONTAINED...

I got like 6 packs of those C5-3's, 4 packs of B4-6's (one was a Centuri box), 4 packs of 1/2A3-0T's, and some B8-5's from Rich earlier this year. Also bought an Enerjet F52 and E24 from him as well. Great source of OOP motors. Bout the only thing I could not get were B14's

That's just a lil bit of excitement. Were there plenty of observers that were not SISSIES :puke: in some safety blockhouse ?

Most of the things named "carcinogens" are done so by knee-jerk left wing hack organizations that want a regulation or ban for nearly everything, with everything regulated. These are the idiots that favor parenting via legislature with society where everything is either mandatory or illegal...

I have absolutely ZERO problem with hypocrisy as long as it favors MY CORRECT position. Generally when I want somebody else's opinion I give it to them. Everyone has a right to the best of everything they can individually AFFORD

Just another instance of that USELESS agency butting their snoots in where they don't belong. Left up to me, that agency would have it's funding permanently cut to zero and would be disbanded via constitutional amendment.

I guess if wasting 16 lousy bucks was of concern to me, I'd be concerned with items far LARGER and more important than hobbies.... If one is out of work, one would think the last thing one should be spending any $$$ on is a hobby !

If I was RSO, I would not allow any HP flights with any engine over a H165 if primary construction is NOT performed with epoxy, PERIOD. I don't care what anybody says about bond strength of wood glue to cardboard either. In my book it is NOT enough and would NOT fly. I'm about as likely to...

Forget about the lantern batteries. They are heavy nuisance JUNK for the little power they provide. Best advice would be to suck it up and eat the whopping SIXTEEN bucks and move on. The amount of time you would have to waste just soldering up wires to adapt them to ANY sort of REASONABLY...

Are there any countries that still have a "run what ya brung" system "free for all" devoid of need of any nuisance certs to fly ALL motors ? That's what I would like to see happen here in the USA. No NAR or TRA cert, CPSC, NFPA, CSFM baloney for ANYTHING.

Rust-Oleum automotive primer is LACQUER based and the Plastic Primer is ENAMEL based. NEVER, EVER apply a Lacquer over an Enamel. The Lacquer has "hot" solvents that WILL craze and ruin below coats of Enamel. You CAN apply Enamel over Lacquer, but NEVER Lacquer over Enamel. Your nose...

White/fabric glues are generally Polyvinyl Acetate. Yellow "Wood" glues such as Titebond I, II, and III as well as Elmer's Carpenter's are typically aliphatic resin glues with additives of varying proportion.

As far as fast-food mexican goes, taco bell is bottom of the barrel AWFUL. Del Taco is actually pretty decent and does not make me feel ill when I eat it like the once a year stop to toxic bell does. Fillers in any food of any sort SUCKS ! Once I hear of it and it is proven, I no longer eat...
